Business McM Corporation ("McM" or the "Company") is an insurance holding company conducting its business through insurance and non-insurance subsidiaries. The following schedule identifies the subsidiaries of McM and the abbreviations by which they will be identified in this document. Subsidiary Abbreviation ---------- ------------ PROPERTY AND CASUALTY Occidental Fire & Casualty Company of North Carolina OF&C Wilshire Insurance Company Wilshire OTHER: Equity Holdings, Inc. Equity Holdings In connection with and because it desires to take advantage of the new "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, McM would like to caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. While McM believes in the veracity of all statements made herein, forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by McM, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond McM's control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause its actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of McM. The forward looking statements are especially difficult for lines of business that are longer tail in nature such as the Company's commercial automobile liability line of business which is inherently subject to considerable variability and volatility. Item 1. (a) General Development of the Business McM was organized as a North Carolina corporation on May 27, 1977, and subsequently acquired or organized a number of insurance corporations and other subsidiaries. From 1977 to 1991, McM operated as a multi-line holding company with both life and health and property and casualty insurance operations. The McMillen Trust, controlling shareholder of McM, currently owns 65.9% of the outstanding stock of McM. A petition was filed on behalf of the McMillen Trust in the Chancery Court of Delaware on December 2, 1986, seeking relief from the requirement that the Trust own at least 1 3 65% of the shares of McM. The Court, on December 10, 1987, determined that the Trust must divest itself of its ownership of the shares of McM and invest the proceeds in a diversified portfolio for the benefit of present and future beneficiaries of the Trust. The Board of Directors of McM and the Trust believed that the interests of all shareholders would be best served by a coordinated sales process by which potential purchasers could be qualified and due diligence reviews scheduled with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. In 1991, McM decided to discontinue its life and health insurance segment. On October 24, 1991, Occidental Life Insurance Company and Peninsular Life Insurance Company were sold to Pennsylvania Life Insurance Company, a privately held life insurance company domiciled in Pennsylvania. On June 22, 1992, Atlantic Southern Insurance Company was sold to Global Life Assurance Company Limited, a subsidiary of Life of Jamaica Ltd. The sale of Atlantic Southern Insurance Company completed the disposition of the Company's life and health segment. On January 29, 1993, McM's Board of Directors announced that it had decided to discontinue efforts to sell the remaining companies in the McM group, including OF&C and Wilshire. The Board's decision was prompted by market and economic conditions as well as other factors which had an adverse effect on the general sale process being conducted by PaineWebber Incorporated. However, McM's Board announced that PaineWebber would continue to serve the McM group as its financial advisor. In April 1993, the Chancery Court granted the petition of the Wilmington Trust Company, Trustee of the McMillen Trust, for a clarification of existing orders to make clear, among other things, that the timing and terms of any disposition of the Trust's shares shall be determined in the sound discretion of the Trustee. On February 3, 1997, McM received a copy of an SEC Form 3 filing made by McM Acquisition Corporation ("MAC"), controlled by local real estate developer and private investor M. Roland Britt, and by Mr. Britt himself. The Form 3 indicated that MAC had acquired an option to purchase all of the McM shares owned by the Trust for $6.20 per share exercisable until March 1, 1998. The next day, February 4, 1997, McM received a copy of an SEC Schedule 13D filed by MAC and Mr. Britt. This Schedule 13D provided further information in connection with the option. Attached to the Schedule 13D were written agreements dated November 22, 1996, and January 24, 1997, between the Trust and MAC relating to the option and to a possible merger between McM and MAC. Also attached was a copy of an agreement 2 4 entered into between McM and MAC on January 31, 1997, in a separate, independent action wherein McM agreed to provide MAC with confidential access to the Company's records and information to enable MAC to conduct due diligence reviews and pursue appropriate financial arrangements for a possible acquisition of all of McM's shares. This agreement, which expires May 31, 1997, also grants to MAC an exclusive period during which McM will continue its policy of not soliciting acquisition offers. McM cannot predict whether MAC will exercise its option or obtain the required approvals and financial arrangements necessary to acquire either the Trust's shares or all of the shares of McM. Total employees of McM and its subsidiaries numbered 139 at December 31, 1996, all of which are directly employed by the property and casualty subsidiaries. Item 1. (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments As a result of discontinuing its life and health insurance segment, McM, through its subsidiaries, is engaged only in the marketing and underwriting of property and casualty insurance. Information concerning industry segments, therefore, is no longer applicable. Item 1. (c) Narrative Description of Business PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURANCE McM's property and casualty insurance business is conducted through two insurance companies, OF&C and Wilshire. The business is concentrated in liability, physical damage and cargo coverages for the trucking transportation industry as well as non-standard private passenger automobile coverages. These insurance policies are generally marketed through general and independent agents who have no authority to alter any terms of the policies. The agents who produce business for OF&C and Wilshire are not exclusive agents of the companies and generally have affiliations with other insurance companies which may compete with McM. One agent accounts for approximately 19% of premium income of the property and casualty business of McM. OF&C is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states other than Connecticut and Hawaii. Certain states have placed restrictions on the amount of premium that OF&C may write in those states. Wilshire is licensed in nineteen states comprised of Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. Wilshire is also approved, as a non-admitted carrier, to write coverages in the states of Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wyoming. A non-admitted carrier may 3 5 write coverages at rates in excess of the rates approved by the various states, provided that licensed carriers in those states are unwilling to provide coverages at the approved rates. Wilshire's premium writings are not restricted by any state. Also see "Geographic Distribution of Premiums Received." Competition. The property and casualty insurance business is highly competitive. In most jurisdictions in which McM's property and casualty insurance subsidiaries market their policies, there are numerous large standard lines stock and mutual companies as well as other specialty companies competing for the same business. Many of the companies have greater financial resources, larger marketing organizations and broader diversification of risks than the McM companies. McM believes that the policies, rates, commissions and services of its companies are competitive with other companies writing these types of business. Regulation. All insurance companies are subject to regulation and supervision by the jurisdictions in which the companies are authorized to transact business. These regulatory bodies have broad administrative powers relating to the standards of solvency which must be met and maintained by insurance companies, minimum capital and surplus requirements, limitations on the investments of capital and surplus, granting and revoking of licenses, licensing of agents, filing and approval of policy forms and rates, maintenance of required reserves, unfair discrimination, form and content of financial statements and other reporting forms, issuance and sale of stock, types of allowable investments, and numerous other matters pertaining to insurance. Insurance companies must keep assets equal to the minimum capital required by law plus the accumulated reserves invested in certain classes of investments as specified in the statutes applicable to such companies. In addition, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") has adopted Risk-Based Capital ("RBC") requirements for property and casualty insurance companies. RBC was developed to evaluate the adequacy of statutory capital and surplus in relation to investment and insurance risks. The RBC formula serves as an early warning tool for state insurance regulators to help identify, for the purpose of initiating regulatory action, companies which are potentially inadequately capitalized. The capital and surplus for McM's insurance subsidiaries are well in excess of any regulatory action thresholds defined by the NAIC. The reporting practices for McM's property and casualty subsidiaries are prescribed or permitted by state regulatory authorities ("statutory accounting") and may differ from generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). OF&C (which includes Wilshire on a statutory equity basis) reported to insurance regulatory authorities combined statutory accounting capital and surplus of $18.2 million and $19.2 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Combined capital and surplus on a GAAP basis was $23.6 million and $24.3 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 4 6 There are two major reconciling differences between the statutory accounting and GAAP capital and surplus balances of McM's property and casualty subsidiaries. In GAAP accounting, costs which vary with and are primarily related to the production of property and casualty business are deferred to the extent recoverable and are amortized over the lives of the policies in proportion to the recognition of premium earned. Statutory accounting does not permit this deferral and requires property and casualty companies to fully recognize these expenses in the period they were incurred. At December 31, 1996, McM's property and casualty subsidiaries recorded $4.0 million in deferred policy acquisition as an asset on the GAAP balance sheet compared to $3.3 million at December 31, 1995. Statutory accounting also requires property and casualty companies to record as a liability and restriction to capital and surplus the uncollateralized portion of balances receivable from non-admitted reinsurers ("Schedule F Penalty"). The combined Schedule F Penalty recorded by McM's property and casualty subsidiaries totalled $269,000 and $403,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Insurance holding company laws grant additional powers to insurance regulators with respect to acquisitions and control of insurance companies by holding companies and the requirements of disclosure relating to transactions with affiliated companies. Each company files a detailed annual report with the insurance department of each state or governmental jurisdiction in which it is licensed to do business. Insurance companies are also subject to periodic examinations by these regulatory bodies. Some of the jurisdictions in which OF&C is licensed to do business have, for various reasons, instituted restrictions or limitations on the amount of business written in that state. These restrictions were imposed years ago when the property and casualty companies were generating substantial losses and experiencing financial difficulties. Generally they involved states in which the Company was not actively writing business nor had intentions to write business. These restrictions have no current effect on liquidity, capital resources or results of operations. In the future, should the Company desire to further expand its market presence into any state with such restrictions, it will then pursue the lifting of such restrictions by providing current financial and operational information as required by individual state regulatory authorities. In May 1993, the North Carolina Commissioner of Insurance issued an administrative order that required the property and casualty operations to maintain a specified net premiums to surplus ratio and required prior approval of the Commissioner for certain transactions. During 1993, management undertook measures necessary to comply with the conditions of the order. In June 1994, the Commissioner vacated the order. Reinsurance. As with other property and casualty insurance companies, the McM property and casualty insurance companies reinsure a portion of 5 7 the insurance they write in order to control their exposure on large individual risks or in the event of catastrophic losses. The companies remain contingently liable on that portion of the risk reinsured should the reinsurer be unable to meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements. See Note C of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The largest liability exposure insured for any one risk is $2,000,000. Reinsurance is in place to reduce the companies' exposure on premiums earned subsequent to January 1, 1992, to $100,000 of loss per risk. The retention per risk on premiums earned prior to January 1, 1992, generally is $100,000 with the exception of 1991 when the loss retention was $250,000. Premiums payable under certain of the companies' liability reinsurance treaties prior to January 1, 1990, are based in part on actual loss experience. Premiums for the liability treaties subsequent to 1990 are calculated on a flat rate based on policy limits. Separate physical damage (excluding theft and collision) and motor cargo catastrophe reinsurance treaties provide reinsurance on any one catastrophic occurrence. Coverages under these treaties are limited to a maximum of 95% of $4,000,000 in excess of the first $500,000 of losses paid. Quota share reinsurance coverages, by which the companies and their reinsurers share risk on a proportionate basis, are also in place for both commercial and private passenger automobile business. The companies cede 5% of the retained commercial auto liability coverages. Prior to 1996, private passenger automobile business was ceded at a rate of 40%; however, effective January 1, 1996, the cession rate was reduced to 30%. These quota share arrangements allow the companies to better control premium growth. The principal reinsurers of the companies for current business are Zurich Reinsurance, Ltd., Unionamerica Insurance Company, CNA International Reinsurance Company, Ltd., Lloyds Underwriters, AXA Reassurance Company and Sphere Drake Insurance. Reinsurance agreements cover commercial and private passenger automobile liability, physical damage (excluding theft and collision), motor cargo and ancillary coverages. In addition to the reinsurers named above, principal reinsurers of the companies for prior years' reinsurance treaties are Employers Reinsurance Corporation, National Reinsurance Company and Reinsurance Corporation of New York. Loss Reserves and Loss Adjustment Expenses The consolidated financial statements include the estimated liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") of the property and casualty insurance subsidiaries. The liabilities for losses and LAE are determined using case basis evaluations and statistical projections and represent estimates of the ultimate net cost of all unpaid losses and LAE incurred through December 31 of each year. These estimates give effect to trends in claims severity and other 6 8 factors which may vary as the liabilities are ultimately settled. The estimates are continually reviewed and, as adjustments to these liabilities become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in current operations. The following table provides a reconciliation of beginning and ending liability balances for 1996, 1995 and 1994. Reconciliation of Net Liability for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses 1996 1995 1994 ---- ---- ---- (Thousands of dollars) GAAP Reserves for losses and settlement expenses, net of reinsurance recoverables, at beginning of year $29,997 $38,415 $51,625 Provision for insured events of the current year 37,651 31,282 29,106 Increase (decrease) in provision for insured events of prior years 1,559 (248) 18 ------- ------- ------- Incurred losses and settlement expenses during current year, net of reinsurance 39,210 31,034 29,124 Payments for: Losses and settlement expenses attributable to insured event of the current year 22,853 18,113 15,307 Losses and settlement expenses attributable to insured events of prior years 19,822 21,339 27,027 ------- ------- ------- 42,675 39,452 42,334 ------- ------- ------- Reserves for losses and settlement expenses, net of reinsurance recoverables, at end of year 26,532 29,997 38,415 Reinsurance recoverable on unpaid losses and settlement expenses at end of current year 28,768 36,155 42,471 ------- ------- ------- Gross reserves for losses and settlement expenses at end of year $55,300 $66,152 $80,886 ======= ======= ======= 7 9 The reconciliation above reflects the emergence of a $1,559,000 deficiency in the December 31, 1995, reserve during 1996. This deficiency includes adverse reserve development of approximately $572,000 in private passenger auto liability reserves, $1.2 million in private passenger auto and commercial auto physical damage and inland marine reserves. In addition, approximately $613,000 of this deficiency relates to discontinued lines of business and participation in involuntary pools and other residual market mechanisms in which OF&C and Wilshire are required to participate by the various states in which the companies write insurance. The above adverse development was partially offset by favorable reserve development of $800,000 in the commercial auto liability line of business. The anticipated effect of inflation is implicitly considered when estimating liabilities for losses and settlement expenses. While anticipated cost increases due to inflation are considered in estimating the ultimate claim costs, the increase in average severity of claims is caused by a number of factors that vary with the individual type of policy written. Future average severity is projected based on historical trends adjusted for anticipated changes in these trends and general economic conditions. These anticipated trends are monitored based on actual development and are modified as necessary. The liability for losses and LAE of $55,300,000 reported in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is reported on a gross basis, i.e., without reduction for reinsurance, and differs from that reported in the annual statements filed with state insurance departments in accordance with statutory accounting practices (SAP), which are reported net of reinsurance. See Note A of the accompanying 1996 financial statements. 8 10 ANALYSIS OF LOSS AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE DEVELOPMENT NET OF REINSURANCE WITH SUPPLEMENTAL GROSS DATA (Thousands of dollars) YEAR ENDED 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 - ---------- -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- ------- Liability for Unpaid Claims and Claim Adjustment Expense $100,942 $103,115 $96,308 $78,120 $64,002 $ 64,304 $ 59,580 $ 51,625 $ 38,415 $29,997 26,532 Paid (Cumulative) as of: One year later $ 48,008 $ 45,676 $48,461 $42,731 $41,726 $ 29,635 $ 28,500 $ 27,034 $ 21,338 $19,822 $ 0 Two years later 76,162 75,454 72,353 63,893 47,833 44,905 44,659 39,119 31,096 Three years later 96,646 90,546 84,912 67,649 56,343 54,980 51,326 44,649 Four years later 105,561 99,200 87,368 72,305 61,006 58,364 54,561 Five years later 109,964 101,072 90,495 75,568 62,341 60,459 Six years later 110,513 103,242 93,146 76,350 63,728 Seven years later 112,133 105,555 93,769 77,562 Eight years later 114,270 105,791 94,930 Nine years later 114,405 106,916 Ten years later 115,430 Liability Reestimated as of: One year later $112,928 $108,844 $97,562 $77,625 $68,679 $ 64,175 $ 60,849 $ 51,643 $ 38,167 $31,556 $ 0 Two years later 118,303 109,955 95,362 78,970 66,266 64,686 59,881 50,184 $ 38,060 Three years later 118,933 108,203 96,354 79,861 67,429 64,167 58,563 49,874 Four years later 117,628 109,058 96,874 80,345 67,540 63,204 58,713 Five years later 118,120 109,164 97,453 80,695 66,357 63,939 Six years later 117,622 109,198 97,619 79,909 67,115 Seven years later 117,739 109,415 97,251 80,698 Eight years later 118,238 109,226 98,054 Nine years later 117,618 110,008 Ten years later 118,386 -------- -------- ------- ------- ------- -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- ------- Cumulative Deficiency (Redundancy) $ 17,444 $ 6,893 $ 1,746 $ 2,578 $ 3,113 ($ 365) ($ 867) ($ 1,751) ($ 355) $ 1,559 $ 0 ======== ======== ======= ======= ======= ======== ======== ======== ======== ======= ======= 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gross Data at End of Year Gross Liability $66,152 $55,300 Reinsurance Recoverable 36,155 28,768 ------- ------- Net Liability $29,997 $26,532 ======= ======= 9 11 The table above presents the development of balance sheet liabilities for 1986 through 1996. The top line of the table shows the estimated liability for unpaid losses and LAE recorded at the balance sheet date for each of the indicated years. This liability represents the estimated amount of losses and LAE for claims arising in all prior years that are unpaid at the balance sheet date, including losses that had been incurred but not yet reported to the Company. The lower portion of the table shows the re-estimated amount of the previously recorded liability based on experience as of the end of each succeeding year. The estimate is increased or decreased as more information becomes known about the frequency and severity of claims for individual years. The deficiency/(redundancy) represents the aggregate change in the estimates over all prior years. For example, through 1996, the 1987 liability has developed a $6,893,000 deficiency which has been recognized in operations over the nine year period. The effects on income of the past three years of changes in estimates of the liabilities for losses and LAE is shown in the preceding table, "Reconciliation of Net Liability for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses". The upper section of the table, "Analysis of Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Development", shows the cumulative amount paid with respect to the previously recorded liability as of the end of each succeeding year. For example, as of December 31, 1996, the Company paid $115,430,000 of the current re-estimated reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses at December 31, 1986, of $118,386,000. Thus an estimated $2,956,000 of losses incurred through 1986 remain unpaid as of the current financial statement date. In evaluating this information, it should be noted that each amount includes the effects of all changes in amounts for prior periods. For example, the amount of the deficiency related to losses settled in 1988, but incurred in 1986, will be included in cumulative redundancy (deficiency) amount for years 1986 and 1987. This table does not present accident or policy year development data. Conditions and trends that have affected development of the liability in the past may not necessarily occur in the future. In addition, the Company has entered into numerous reinsurance commutations and assumption transactions, as discussed below, which are included in the information presented. Accordingly, it may not be appropriate to extrapolate future deficiencies or redundancies based on this table. On March 5, 1987, the Company entered into a commutation agreement with Omaha Indemnity Company (OIC), a subsidiary of Mutual of Omaha, whereby OIC remitted $26 million of cash to the Company in satisfaction of all liabilities due under various reinsurance treaties. Of this amount, $5.5 million reimbursed existing paid loss recoverables leaving $20.5 million available to cover future loss payments on the commuted block 10 12 of reserves. Based on a review of the commuted reserves by the Company's actuary and by an independent actuarial consulting firm, the projected ultimate value of commuted reserves and paid loss recoverables exceeded the commutation proceeds by $5.5 million. This transaction was recorded in the 1986 consolidated GAAP financial statements, and is reflected in the loss development schedule as additional adverse reserve development of approximately $5.3 million relating to year-end reserves for 1985, as of December 31, 1986. Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves related to this block of business and recorded at December 31, 1996, are not significant. During 1985 McM entered into a commutation agreement with Universal Reinsurance Corporation and Northwestern National Insurance Company, whereby they remitted $15.5 million of cash to McM's property and casualty subsidiaries in satisfaction of all liabilities due under the various reinsurance treaties. This cash settlement was supplemented by $1 million in development recorded during 1986. An additional $1.7 million in development was recorded during 1987. The Company has experienced no significant development on this business since 1987 and remaining loss and loss adjustment expense reserves at December 31, 1996, are not significant. Additionally, the Company experienced adverse development of $1.2 million during 1987 on reserves commuted with several other reinsurers. No significant development has been experienced on these reserves since 1987. Effective December 31, 1985, OF&C assumed the liabilities on business previously written by Peninsular Fire Insurance Company ("PFICO"), a former subsidiary of McM. The coverages, which were primarily workers' compensation and commercial multi-peril, are being run off and no new coverages have been underwritten. Adverse development on the PFICO reserves was $2.5 million in 1985, $3.1 million in 1986, $3.9 million in 1987, and $3.1 million in 1988. Development since 1988 has not been significant. The information below the table is a reconciliation of the data in the table, which is reported net of reinsurance, to the reserves in the balance sheet which are stated gross of reinsurance. 11 13 Geographic Distribution of Direct Written Premiums The following is a summary of property and casualty direct premiums written in 1996 by geographic location.
