AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997 (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the American Eagle Group, Inc. (the "Company") and subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to the Form 10-Q and 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 only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the Company's Form 10-K. 2. SALES OF OPERATIONS As previously announced, the Company has entered into transactions to sell its aviation and artisan contractor insurance operations. The closing of the aviation transaction will require approval by the Company's stockholders, although stockholders owning a majority of the Company's voting stock have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction. The closing of the aviation transaction is also subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The closing of the artisan transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals and licenses and other customary conditions. The Company has also entered into a letter of intent to sell its marine operations. The closing of the marine transaction is subject to definitive documentation, Boards' of Directors approvals, required regulatory approvals and licenses and other customary conditions. Upon completion of these transactions, the Company expects that it will no longer write new or renewal policies for the foreseeable future. It will continue to handle claims on the Company's policies that are not assumed as part of these transactions and maintain the related reserves and assets. Accordingly, the Company's revenues and earnings capacity will be significantly lower in the future. Pro-forma financial data on the effect of these transactions will be included in a Proxy Statement to Shareholders, which is expected to be issued in the second quarter. 6 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FIRST QUARTER OF 1997 COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1996 Gross Premiums Produced Gross premiums produced for the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996 were as follows (in millions): FIRST QUARTER 1996 1997 ------ ------ Gross premiums produced $ 42.4 $ 23.8 For other companies (2.6) (3.9) Assumed from other companies 1.6 3.3 ------ ------ Gross premiums written 41.4 23.2 Ceded premiums (8.7) (8.2) ------ ------ Net premiums written $ 32.7 $ 15.0 ====== ====== Gross premiums produced decreased 43.8% to $23.8 million for the first quarter of 1997 from $42.4 million in the first quarter of 1996. Of this decrease, 23.3% was produced by the Aviation Division, 21.2% was produced by the Property and Casualty Division (the "P&C Division"), and offset by a 0.6% increase produced by the Marine Division. The decrease in the Aviation Division resulted primarily from marketplace uncertainties about the financial condition of the Company's major subsidiary, American Eagle Insurance Company ("AEIC"). During most of the first quarter of 1996, AEIC was rated "A-" by A.M. Best Company ("Best"). In March 1996, Best downgraded AEIC's rating to a "B++." In May 1996, Best downgraded AEIC's rating to a "B," where the rating remained through most of the first quarter of 1997. In March 1997, Best downgraded AEIC's rating to "D." The decrease in the P&C Division is due to the discontinued underwriting of the trucking insurance business late in 1996 and also the decreases in the Best rating. The gross premiums produced for other companies increased 51.3% to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 1997 from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 1996 as a result of writing more business for other companies due to the decrease in the A.M. Best Company rating. The gross premiums assumed from other companies increased 111.3% to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 1997 from $1.6 million in the first quarter of 1996. Gross premiums written decreased 43.9% to $23.2 million in the first quarter of 1997 from $41.4 million in the first quarter of 1996 as a result of the decrease in gross premiums produced for the Company and its subsidiaries. 7 8 Ceded premiums decreased 5.3% to $8.2 million in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $8.7 million in the first quarter of 1996. This decrease is primarily a result of a slight decrease in ceded losses on retrospectively rated reinsurance contracts. Net premiums written decreased 54.1% to $15.0 million in the first three months of 1997, compared to $32.7 million in the first three months of 1996. Sales of Operations As previously announced, the Company has entered into transactions to sell its aviation and artisan contractor insurance operations. The closing of the aviation transaction will require approval by the Company's stockholders, although stockholders owning a majority of the Company's voting stock have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction. The closing of the aviation transaction is also subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The closing of the artisan transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals and licenses and other customary conditions. The Company has also entered into a letter of intent to sell its marine operations. The closing of the marine transaction is subject to definitive documentation, Boards' of Directors approvals, required regulatory approvals and licenses and other customary conditions. Upon completion of these transactions, the Company expects that it will no longer write new or renewal policies for the foreseeable future. It will continue to handle claims on the Company's policies that are not assumed as part of these transactions and maintain the related reserves and assets. Accordingly, the Company's revenues and earnings capacity will be significantly lower in the future. Pro-forma financial data on the effect of these transactions will be included in a Proxy Statement to Shareholders, which is expected to be issued in the second quarter. Revenues Earned premiums, net of reinsurance, decreased 27.4% to $23.8 million in the first quarter of 1997 from $32.8 million in the first quarter of 1996. Of this decrease, 22.1% was related to the Aviation Division, 8.3% to the P&C Division, with the Marine Division having an increase of 3.0%. Earned premiums, net of reinsurance, declined at a lower rate in comparison to written premiums, net of reinsurance, due to less of a decline in written premiums in earlier quarters, which are now becoming earned premiums. Agency operations, net, increase to a profit of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 1997 from a minimal loss in the first quarter of 1996. Investment income, net, decreased 7.1% to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 1997 from $1.4 million in the first quarter of 1996. The net tax-effected investment yield on average invested assets for the first quarter of 1997 increased to 7.5% from 5.9% in the comparable quarter of 1996. Average invested assets decreased $23.1 million in the first quarter of 8 9 1997, compared to the first quarter of 1996, primarily as a result of cash flow used in operating activities, as discussed below. Realized investment gains (losses), net, were insignificant in the first quarter of 1997 and 1996. Operating Expenses Losses and loss adjustment expenses, net of reinsurance, were 83.8% of earned premiums, net of reinsurance, in the first quarter of 1997 and 83.8% in the first quarter of 1996. The Aviation Division loss ratio increased 5.5 percentage points to 76.8% in the first quarter 1997, from 71.3% in the first quarter of 1996 as a result of higher levels of hull losses. The P&C Division loss ratio decreased 8.2 percentage points to 112.1% in the first quarter of 1997 from 120.3% in the first quarter of 1996. The unacceptable P&C Division loss ratio is a result of losses from the discontinued trucking line of business, where premium levels have declined faster than loss levels. The Marine Division loss ratio increased 1.4 percentage points to 50.5% in the first quarter of 1997 from 49.1% in the first quarter of 1996. Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses increased 14.0 percentage points to 46.8% of earned premiums in the first quarter of 1997 from 32.8% of earned premiums in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease in written premium and related unearned premiums and earned premiums resulted in a decrease in the amount of deferrable acquisition costs, which increased the expense level of the current quarter. In addition, current expense levels could not be reduced further due to the pending sales of the ongoing operations. The Company's combined ratio increased 14.0 percentage points to 130.6% in the first quarter of 1997 from 116.6% in the first quarter of 1996 as a result of the factors discussed above. A combined ratio below 100% generally indicates profitable underwriting prior to the consideration of investment income. Management believes that there has been a seasonality pattern in the loss ratio. Losses have historically been higher in the first half of the year and then declined in the second half. The Company believes that this pattern results primarily from weather-related factors which contribute to a higher loss frequency in the first two quarters of the year. The Company had no interest expense in the first quarter of 1997 due to the repayment on December 31, 1996 of the Company's note payable. Interest expense was $0.25 million in the first quarter of 1996. Income The Company did not record an income tax benefit in the first quarter of 1997 as compared to a benefit of $1.4 million recorded in the first quarter of 1996. 9 10 The first quarter of 1997 net loss was $5.7 million, compared to net loss of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 1996. Net income (loss) available for common stockholders in the first quarter of 1997 was a net loss of $6.6 million, or $0.93 per share, compared to net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.39 per share, in the first quarter of 1996. In the first quarter of 1997, the Company paid in kind Series D Preferred Stock dividends of $0.785 million. The Series D Preferred Stock was not outstanding in the first quarter of 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's consolidated cash flow used by operations was $22.4 million in the first quarter of 1997, compared to cash flow used by operations of $16.8 million in the first quarter of 1996. The major uses of cash in the first quarter of 1997 relate primarily to the decline in the volume of business generated by the company, resulting in declines in unearned premiums, reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses and other liabilities, offset by an increase in accounts receivable. 10 11 PART II.
