MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL INFORMATION First Central Financial Corporation ("First Central") was incorporated on May 18, 1983 under the laws of the State of New York. It is the parent corporation of First Central Insurance Company ("First Central Insurance") and Mercury Adjustment Bureau, Inc. ("Mercury"). First Central Insurance is a New York licensed property and casualty insurance company which underwrites the following types of insurance primarily in the State of New York: Commercial Multiple Peril, Workers' Compensation, General Liability, Automobile Liability and Automobile Physical Damage. First Central Insurance is licensed to underwrite insurance in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and Connecticut. Mercury, a claims adjustment company, was acquired by First Central in September, 1988. NET INCOME - EARNINGS First Central reported net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 of $830,735 or $0.14 per share primary and $0.13 per share fully diluted. The decrease in net income of 43.6%, in comparison to the corresponding period ended March 31, 1995, is due primarily to increases in loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, doubtful accounts and a decrease in investment income offset in part by increases in net realized gains, earned premiums and claims adjusting revenue. PREMIUMS WRITTEN AND EARNED Direct written premiums decreased $2,851,331 (15.9%), for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, in comparison to the corresponding period of 1995. The decrease in premium volume was primarily a result of First Central Insurance not renewing two general liability policies which accounted for approximately $3,000,000 in direct written premiums during the first quarter of 1996. Net premiums earned increased $112,579 (0.9%), for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, when compared to the same period in 1995. NET INVESTMENT INCOME; REALIZED GAINS First Central's net investment income of $1,195,497 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 represents a 4.4% decrease, over the net investment income from the corresponding period of 1995. The decrease is due primarily to a reduction in dividends received on equity securities when compared to the three month period ended March 31, 1995. First Central's net realized gains for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 were $722,125, an increase of 298.4%, over the same period ended March 31, 1995. The increase in net realized gains resulted primarily from gains realized on the sale of equity securities. At March 31, 1996 First Central held 35.4% of its invested assets in fixed maturities available- for-sale, 32.6% in fixed maturities held-to-maturity, 24.5% in equity securities (common and preferred stocks) available for sale and 7.5% in short-term investments (principally money markets). In comparison to March 31, 1995 First Central held 40.7% of its invested assets in fixed maturities available-for-sale, 12.7% in fixed maturities held-to-maturity, 40.6% in equity securities (common and preferred stocks) and 6.0% in short-term investments (principally money markets). At December 31, 1995, First Central held 35.4% of its invested assets in fixed maturities available-for-sale, 33.2% in fixed maturities held-to- 7 maturity, 28.5% in equity securities (common and preferred stocks) available for sale and 2.9% in short- term investments. At March 31, 1996, the total net unrealized loss applicable to First Central's available-for-sale securities amounted to $38,469, which is net of deferred taxes of $20,000. At December 31, 1995 the net unrealized gain was $759,806 net of deferred taxes of $392,000, the change from a net unrealized gain position to a net unrealized loss is primarily due to a decline in market value of the Company's fixed maturities available for sale. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 115, the following is the investment classifications at March 31, 1996. Under Statement No. 115, unrealized loss or gains on available-for-sale investments are reported as a reduction or increase in shareholders equity.

The increase in net incurred losses is primarily a result of an increase in outstanding case reserves and paid losses as of March 31, 1996 when compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 1995. During the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, incurred loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance, increased by 50.4% when compared to the corresponding period in 1995. The increase in loss adjustment expenses is due to an increase in costs associated with claims and litigation primarily due to the increase of policies written over the last several years. UNDERWRITING EXPENSES Underwriting expenses are a combination of policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses as shown on the income statement. Policy acquisition costs decreased by 10.1% for the three-month ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the corresponding period in 1995 primarily due to the reduction in percentage and volume on First Central Insurance's commission expense on policies and an increase of commission on 8 reinsurance premiums. Other operating expenses increased by 6.6% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period in 1995. PROVISION FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Provision for doubtful accounts decreased 45.8% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to the corresponding period in 1995. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense decreased 6.0% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the corresponding period in 1995. This decrease is due to the reduction in the principal amount outstanding of First Central's convertible subordinated debentures from $6,505,000 at March 31, 1995 to $6,330,000 at March 31, 1996. FINANCING ACTIVITIES For the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, net cash used in First Central's investing activities was approximately $1,330,000 as compared to approximately $3,480,000 from the comparable period in 1995. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was due to a net decrease in investments in property, plant and equipment and fixed maturities as offset by net increases in investments, sales of equity securities, and net increase in purchase of short-term investments. The decrease in property, plant and equipment was a result of the Company purchasing its home office in the first quarter of 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES First Central Insurance's operations generated funds adequate to meet the business needs of First Central and the First Central Insurance during the three months ended March 31, 1996. Management is unaware of any trend which is reasonably likely to result in an increase or decrease in First Central's liquidity or its capital resources except that as First Central Insurance's assets and investments have increased, the availability of investable funds have resulted in increased investment income and improved cash flow, and hence some increased liquidity of the First Central Insurance. The liquidity of the investment portfolio of an insurance company is important to its ability to maximize investment return which is a significant component of overall profitability. First Central funded its February 1, 1996 interest payment of $284,850 under its outstanding convertible subordinated debentures from dividends in the amount of $500,000 it received from First Central Insurance in December 1995. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries made any material commitment for capital expenditures. 9 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K A.
