NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
NOTE A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
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 a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2001.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Hampshire Funding, Inc. annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000.
NOTE B. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES, as
amended, which is required to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Because of the Company's minimal use of derivatives, the adoption of the new
Statement did not have a significant effect on earnings or the financial
position of the Company.
In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 140, ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS
AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES, that
replace, in its entirety, FASB Statement No. 125. Although Statement 140 has
changed many of the rules regarding securitizations, it continues to require an
entity to recognize the financial and servicing assets it controls and the
liabilities it has incurred and to derecognize financial assets when control has
been surrendered in accordance with the criteria provided in the Statement. As
required the Company will apply the new rules prospectively to transactions
beginning in the second quarter of 2001. Based on current circumstances, the
Company believes the application of the new rules will not have a material
impact on its financial statements.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company concluded the three months ended March 31, 2001 with net income of
$202,395 as compared to net income of $181,621 for the same period in 2000.
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $344,551 versus
$336,774 for the same period in 2000. The Company's revenues are derived from
sales and servicing of loans, interest and program fees. Although the Company's
retained interest and income on its retained interest has grown over the last
two years, this increase has been partially offset by a decline in program fees.
Gains (or losses) for each sale of receivables are determined by allocated the
carrying value of the receivables sold between the portion sold and the interest
retained based on their relative fair value. The Company estimates the fair
value of its retained interest based on the present value of future cash flows
expected from the sold receivables.
Interest expense was $3,282 and $17,490 for the three months ended March 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively. The average interest rates of 5.66% and 5.77% were
paid on average outstanding loans due to affiliates of $214,100 and $1,200,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Company receives fee income for continuing to service sold receivables. The
Company capitalizes the present value of expected servicing fee income in excess
of the related cost of servicing over the estimated life of the sold
receivables. The Company is responsible for servicing, managing and collecting
all receivables and loan repayments, monitoring the underlying collateral and
reporting all activity to the Bank for which it receives an annual service fee
(collected monthly in arrears) calculated as 2% of outstanding receivables. The
Company received $222,585 and $245,958 in service fees for the three months
ended March 31 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Program fees include placement, administrative and termination fees as well as
charges for special services. Program fees continue to decline as programs
terminate and mature. As of March 31, 2001 and 2000, the number of Programs
administered by the Company were 2,996 and 3,767, respectively.
In the future, the Company may realize a gain or loss on the securitization of
future collateral notes receivable which may impact future earnings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company administers investment programs (the "Programs") which coordinate
the acquisition of mutual fund shares and insurance over a period of ten years.
Under the Programs, Participants purchase life and health insurance from
affiliated Insurance Companies. and finance the premiums through a series of
loans secured by mutual fund shares. Upon issuance of a policy by an Insurance
Company, the Company makes a loan to the Participant in an amount equal to the
selected premium mode. As each premium becomes due, if not paid in cash, a new
loan equal to the next premium and administrative fee is made and added to the
Participant's account indebtedness ("Account Indebtedness"). Thus, interest, as
well as principal, is borrowed and mutual fund shares are pledged as collateral.
Each loan made by the Company must initially be secured by mutual fund shares
which have a value of at least 250% of the loan, except for the initial premium
loan of Programs using certain no-load funds, where the collateral requirement
is 180%. In addition, the aggregate value of all mutual fund shares pledged as
collateral must be at least 150% of the Participant's total Account
Indebtedness. If the value of the shares pledged to the Company declines below
130% of the Account Indebtedness, the Company will terminate the Programs and
liquidate shares sufficient to repay the indebtedness.
8
Effective March 31, 1998, the Company discontinued the sale of Programs. The
Company, however, will continue to make premium loans to current Participants
and administer all Programs until their stated maturity or termination dates.
On December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement
(the Agreement) with Preferred Receivables Funding Corporation (PREFCO), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of First National Bank of Chicago (the Bank), now Bank
One.
The Agreement provides for the initial and periodic purchase of the Company's
collateral loans receivable by PREFCO or other investors (for which the Bank
serves as agent). On June 26, 2000, the Agreement was amended to extend the
termination date to July 26, 2000. On July 26, 2000 the Agreement was amended to
extend the termination date to July 25, 2001 and to decrease PREFCOs commitment
from $55,000,000 to $50,000,000. The Company anticipates the termination date
will be extended under the provisions of the Agreement. PREFCO finances
purchases of the Company's collateral loans receivables through the issuance of
commercial paper.
As of March 31, 2001, the Company had sold aggregate loans of $48,971,864 and
has retained a subordinated interest and servicing rights in the assets
transferred aggregating $6,846,958. The cash flows related to the repayment of
loans is first used to satisfy all principal and variable interest rate
obligations due to PREFCO, investors or the Bank. The retained interest
represents the fair value of the Company's future cash flows and obligations
that it will receive after all investor obligations are met. The fair value of
the Company's retained interest and servicing rights was $6,500,825 at March 31,
2000.
As servicing agent for the loans sold, the Company collected loan repayments of
$1,289,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $1,798,774 for the same
period in 2000, which were paid to PREFCO (one month in arrears) to satisfy
principal and variable interest obligation due. The Company originated new loans
of $1,357,158 and $1,893,446 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, which were sold to PREFCO.
The Agreement includes a Performance Guarantee by Jefferson-Pilot Corporation
that the Company will service the receivables sold and administer all aspects of
the Programs in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. The
Performance Guarantee contains restrictions on the debt of the Guarantor and the
collateral value monitored by the Company
During 1998, the Company entered into an intercompany loan agreement with
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation whereby it may borrow funds for working capital
needs at short-term interest rates. At March 31, 2001 the company had borrowed
$756,051 compared to $438,261 at December 31, 2000.
The continuance of the Program is dependent upon the Company's ability to
arrange for the sale of collateral notes receivable or provide for the financing
of insurance premiums for Participants. The Company expects that it will be able
to continue to sell its collateral notes receivables or arrange for other
financing for the foreseeable future.
If the Company is unable to sell its collateral notes receivable or borrow funds
in the future for the purpose of financing loans to Participants for the payment
of insurance premiums, the Programs may be subject to termination.
If the Company subsequently defaults on its Agreement with PREFCO for which the
Participant's mutual fund shares have been pledged as security, the mutual fund
shares may be redeemed by PREFCO (or its agent) and the Programs will be
terminated on their renewal dates.
The Company's liabilities include amounts due to affiliates for expense
reimbursements to JP Life and other working capital needs.
JP Life, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferson-Pilot Corporation, provides
employee services and office facilities to the Company and its affiliates under
a Service Agreement. The Company pays JP Life a monthly fee in accordance with
mutually agreed upon cost allocation methods which the Companies believe reflect
a proportional allocation of common expenses and are commensurate for the
performance of the applicable duties.
9
Working capital in the first quarter of 2001 and 2000 was provided by servicing
fees from collateral loans sold, loans from Jefferson-Pilot Corporation and
interest earned on investments.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company changed certain of its assumptions
supporting the valuation of its interests retained from loan sales. The Company
has increased its estimate of early terminations from 15% to 26% to better
reflect the Company's actual experience. In addition, the Company has reduced
the discount rate used to value its retained interests from 17% to 15%, which
Management believes better reflects the risks associated with the securitized
assets.
