AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A.1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. ("SNIG") is a holding company that through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Superior National Insurance Company ("SNIC") and Superior Pacific Casualty Company ("SPCC"), is engaged in writing workers' compensation insurance principally in the States of California and Arizona, and until September 30, 1993, was engaged in writing commercial property and casualty insurance. The "Company" refers to SNIG and its subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company 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, including normally occurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform with the 1998 presentation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. A.2 ACQUISITION OF PAC RIM HOLDING CORPORATION On April 11, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of Pac Rim Holding Corporation ("Pac Rim") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Pacific Rim Assurance Company, for total consideration of approximately $42.0 million in cash. This consideration resulted in payments of approximately $20.0 million to Pac Rim stockholders; $20.0 million to Pac Rim's convertible debenture holders; and $2.0 million to Pac Rim's warrant and option holders. In addition, the Company incurred $2.0 million in transaction fees and related expenses. The Pacific Rim Assurance Company was renamed Superior Pacific Casualty Company upon its acquisition by the Company. The Company financed the acquisition of Pac Rim through a $44.0 million term loan and the sale of $18.0 million in newly issued shares of common stock in a private transaction. Approximately $6.6 million of the loan proceeds was used to prepay SNIG's previously outstanding long-term debt, and approximately $10.0 million was contributed by SNIG to the capital of SPCC. The $44.0 million term loan was subsequently retired from funds raised from the sale of $105.0 million of 10.75% Trust Preferred Securities. The purchase of Pac Rim resulted in $36.9 million of goodwill that is being amortized on a straight line basis over 27.5 years. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method and the results of operations since the date of acquisition have been included in operations. The designated accounting date of the purchase of Pac Rim is April 1, 1997. The balance sheet of Pac Rim at the acquisition date included the following assets: investments of $105.9 million, cash of $2.6 million, receivables of $17.3 million, and other assets of $22.3 million. Liabilities assumed in the acquisition included unearned premiums of $6.9 million, claim and claim adjustment expense reserves of $107.7 million and other liabilities of $32.3 million. 7 8 SUPERIOR NATIONAL INSURANCE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED) A.3 EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS"); COMPREHENSIVE INCOME In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 ("FAS No. 128"), "Earnings Per Share", which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all publicly traded companies effective for fiscal years after December 15, 1997. The following is an illustration of the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ INCOME SHARES PER SHARE INCOME SHARES PER SHARE (NUMERATOR) (DENOMINATOR) AMOUNT (NUMERATOR) (DENOMINATOR) AMOUNT -------------- ------------- --------- -------------- ------------- --------- (IN THOUSANDS) (IN THOUSANDS) BASIC EPS Income before items below.............. $ 3,767 5,874,054 $ 0.64 $1,210 3,446,735 $ 0.35 Preferred Securities.........

(1,872) (0.24) (454) (0.09) ------- ------ ------ ------ Net Income............ $ 1,895 $ 0.24 $ 756 $ 0.14 ======= ====== ====== ====== In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS 130 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. SFAS No. 130 requires companies to report comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital. Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by stockholders and distributions to stockholders. The Company has included the required disclosure of SFAS No. 130 in this filing. A.4 CLAIM AND CLAIM ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE RESERVES The liability for unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses is based on an evaluation of reported losses and on estimates of incurred but unreported losses. The reserve liabilities are determined using adjusters' individual case estimates and statistical projections, which can be affected by many external factors that are difficult to predict, including changes in the economy, trends in medical treatments and litigation, changes in regulatory environment, medical services, and employment rights. The liability is reported net of estimated salvage and subrogation recoverables. Adjustments to the liability resulting from subsequent developments or revisions to the estimate are reflected in results of operations in the period in which such adjustments become known. While there can be no assurance that reserves at any given date are adequate to meet the Company's obligations, the amounts reported on the balance sheet are management's best estimate of that amount. 8 9 SUPERIOR NATIONAL INSURANCE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED) A.5 TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES In December 1997, SNIG formed a trust, whose sole purpose was to issue 10 3/4% Trust Preferred Securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities"), having an aggregate liquidation amount of $105 million, and to invest the proceeds thereof in an equivalent amount of 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 of the Company (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"). The Company owns directly all of the common securities issued by the Trust, which it purchased for an aggregate consideration of $3.25 million. The proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities were used solely to purchase SNIG's Senior Subordinated Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $108.25 million, which are the sole assets of the trust. In addition, the Company entered into several contractual undertakings, that when taken together, guarantee to the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities an unconditional right to enforce the payment of the distributions with respect to such securities. NOTE B. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Outstanding discontinued operations claims and claim adjustment expense reserves were $17.1 million at March 31, 1998, which was consistent with management's expectations. Offsetting these liabilities are $5.8 million of reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses. NOTE C. RECONCILIATION WITH PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AMOUNTS The amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows differ from those previously reported as a result of reclassifications made to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS References to "SNIG" and "the Company" in this quarterly report include the results of operations of the newly acquired subsidiary Superior Pacific Casualty Company ("SPCC"), formerly known as The Pacific Rim Assurance Company, for the period beginning April 1, 1997. This discussion and analysis contains statements that constitute "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or the future financial performance of the Company and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among other things, inherent uncertainties related to the effect of the acquisitions, the Company's leverage, and general conditions in the economy and in the workers' compensation insurance market in particular, and such factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. OVERVIEW The Company recorded an underwriting profit from continuing operations of $2.3 million in the three month period ended March 31, 1998, versus an underwriting profit of $1.7 million in the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in underwriting profit from continuing operations was primarily the result of an increase in premiums as a result of the SPCC acquisition. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company realized net income of $1.9 million or $0.24 per share on a diluted basis as compared to $0.8 million or $0.14 per share on a diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 1997. In addition to improved underwriting profit, net income increased due to a $2.2 million increase in investment income, which resulted from the increase in invested assets. Invested assets increased due to the SPCC acquisition and the net proceeds of the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities discussed below. The increase in underwriting profit and investment income was offset in part by dividends and accretion on the Trust Preferred Securities and amortization of goodwill. GENERAL FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets increased by $114.9 million or 38.6% to $412.9 million at March 31, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. The increase was due to approximately $189.3 million in assets recorded related to the acquisition of SPCC. As a result of the issuance of $105.0 million in Trust Preferred Securities, assets increased an additional $30.0 million, net of repayment of existing debt and cost of issuance. Partially offsetting the increase is an approximately $91.6 million reduction in receivables due from a related party reinsurer, that were transferred to The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase") in exchange for cancellation of debt. Total liabilities increased by $98.9 million or 39.2% to $351.1 million at March 31, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. The increase was due to approximately $171.2 million in liabilities recorded related to the acquisition of SPCC, which was partially offset by the early extinguishment of the $90 million Chase loan and other debt. Total equity increased by $16.1 million or 35.2% to $61.8 million at March 31, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. Approximately $18 million in additional capital was related to the April 11, 1997 issuance and sale of common stock to finance, in part, the SPCC acquisition. This increase was partially offset by expenditures and increases in claims reserves associated with the acquisition of SPCC and the $12.9 million loss, net of tax, recognized in conjunction with the early extinguishment of long-term debt in the periods following March 31, 1997. 10 11 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following selected financial data and analysis provide an assessment of SNIG's financial results for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Selected financial data as reported for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are presented below: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ---------------------- 1998 1997 --------- --------- (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) Gross premiums written...................................... $ 41,053 $ 22,780 Net premiums written........................................ $ 28,501 $ 20,003 Net premiums earned......................................... $ 30,587 $ 18,978 Claims and claim adjustment expenses........................

Substantially all of this increase can be attributed to the addition of business written by SPCC. Net premiums written increased $8.5 million or 42.5% to $28.5 million in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997, reflecting the increase in gross premiums written. Net premiums earned increased $11.6 million or 61.2% to $30.6 million in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997, reflecting the increase in net premiums written. Net claim and claim adjustment expenses increased $8.0 million or 78.1% to $18.3 million in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. This increase is attributable to the addition of premiums renewed by SNIC for policies expiring from SPCC. The net claim and claim adjustment expense ratio increased to 59.8% in the first quarter of 1998 from 54.1% in the same period of 1997. Although the Company has been experiencing a reduction in the frequency of claims, at the same time there has been an increase in claims severity for injuries sustained in 1995 and thereafter. To address the increasing severity trend, management has put into place a Claims Severity Management Program that is intended to reduce the Company's average ultimate per claim and claim adjustment expense for 1995 and subsequent dates of injury. Underwriting and general and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million or 42.6% to $10.0 million in the first quarter of 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. This increase was due primarily to the acquisition of SPCC. Net commission expense increased $0.8 million or 34.6% to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997. The increase in net commission expense is due to an increase in premiums. Net underwriting and general and administrative expenses increased 45.7% to $10.5 million in the first quarter of 1998 from $7.2 million in the same period of 1997. The Company's underwriting expense ratio decreased 4.2 percentage points to 32.7% for the first quarter of 1998 from 36.9% for the same period in 1997, due primarily to a reduction in net commission expense relative to the related net premium level. This reduction in net commission expense relative to the related net premium level is due to an increase in reinsurance ceding commissions received. The direct commission expense relative to the related direct premium level remained unchanged from the prior year. 11 12 The Company recorded an underwriting profit from continuing operations of $2.3 million in the first quarter of 1998, versus $1.7 million for the same period in 1997. The increase in underwriting profit from continuing operations was primarily the result of the increase in premiums discussed above, coupled with a decrease in underwriting and general and administrative expenses relative to the premium level. Net investment income, excluding realized investment gains/losses, increased $1.8 million or 85.5% to $3.9 million in the first quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. The improvement was due to the increase in assets available for investment resulting from the SPCC acquisition and the availability of $30.0 million in invested assets as a result of the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities. Excluding SPCC and the increase in invested assets due to the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities, net investment income decreased $0.3 million or 18.4% to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. This 18.4% decrease was due to a change in portfolio mix as compared to the same period in 1997. No interest expense was incurred in the first quarter of 1998 as compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 1997, due to the repayment of all long term debt with funds obtained through the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities. Distributions and accretion on preferred securities increased by $2.1 million as compared to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 1998, as a result of the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities and the redemption of preferred securities issued by an affiliate in December 1997. A summary of net investment income, excluding capital gains (losses), for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows (in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------ 1998 1997 ------- ------- Interest on bonds and notes................................. $3,643 $ 858 Interest on short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents............................................... 318 1,346 Other....................................................... 76 -- ------ ------ Total investment income..................................... 4,037 2,204 Capital gains............................................... 400 9 Investment expense.......................................... 184 127 ====== ====== Net investment income....................................... $4,253 $2,086 ====== ====== The distribution of SNIG's consolidated investment portfolio is as follows (in thousands): MARCH 31, 1998 DECEMBER 31, 1997 -------------------- -------------------- CARRYING MARKET CARRYING MARKET AVAILABLE FOR SALE: VALUE VALUE VALUE VALUE ------------------- -------- -------- -------- -------- (UNAUDITED) U.S. Government Agencies and Authorities........................... $ 77,836 $ 77,836 $ 90,097 $ 90,097 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations..... 36,721 36,721 73,481 73,481 Corporate Instruments................... 45,101 45,101 41,636 41,636 Special Revenue and Special Assessment............................ 50,407 50,407 -- -- State and Political Subdivisions........ -- -- -- -- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Available for Sale................ $210,065 $210,065 $205,214 $205,214 ======== ======== ======== ======== MARCH 31, 1998 DECEMBER 31, 1997 ---------------- ------------------ MARKET MARKET EQUITY SECURITIES COST VALUE COST VALUE ----------------- ------ ------ ------- ------- (UNAUDITED) Corporate....................................... $1,837 $1,980 $1,356 $1,526 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total........................................... $1,837 $1,980 $1,356 $1,526 ====== ====== ====== ====== The Company's management monitors the matching of assets and liabilities and attempts to maintain the Company's portfolio's investment duration at the mid-point of the length of its net claim and claim adjustment 12 13 expenses payout pattern. Investment duration is the weighted average measurement of the current maturity of a fixed income security, in terms of time, of the present value of the future payments to be received from that security. However, in selecting assets to purchase for its investment portfolio, the Company considers each security's modified duration and the effect of that security's modified duration on the portfolio's overall modified duration. Modified duration is a measurement that estimates the percentage change in market value of an investment for a small change in interest rates. The modified duration of fixed maturities at March 31, 1998 was 3.05 years compared to 2.90 years at December 31, 1997. At March 31, 1998, 97.1% of the carrying values of investments in the fixed maturities portfolio were rated as investment grade by the Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Discontinued operations had claim and claim adjustment expense reserves of $17.1 million as of March 31, 1998, which was consistent with management's expectations. The Company has significant exposure to construction defect liabilities on property and casualty insurance policies underwritten from 1986 to 1993. Management continues to closely monitor the Company's potential exposure to construction defect claims and has not changed its estimates of ultimate claim and claim adjustment expenses on discontinued operations since 1995. Management believes its current reserves are adequate to cover the Company's claims activity. There can be no assurance, however, that further upward development of ultimate loss costs associated with construction defect claims will not occur, the Company will continue to closely monitor the adequacy of its loss reserves in the discontinued operations. Offsetting these liabilities are $5.8 million in reinsurance recoverable on paid and unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity is a measure of an entity's ability to secure sufficient cash to meet its contractual obligations and operating needs. The Company's cash inflows are generated from cash collected for policies sold, investment income on the existing portfolio and sales and maturities of investments. The Company's cash outflows consist primarily of payments for policyholders' claims, operating expenses, and debt service. For their insurance operations, the Company's subsidiaries must have available cash and liquid assets to meet their obligations to policyholders and claimants in accordance with contractual obligations in addition to meeting their ordinary operating costs. Absent adverse material changes in the workers' compensation insurance market, management believes that the Company's present cash resources are sufficient to meet the needs of the Company for the foreseeable future. During the first three months of 1998, the Company used $20.6 million of cash in its operations versus $8.0 million during the same period in 1997. The $12.6 million increase in cash used in operations during the first three months of 1998 is primarily due to the addition of SPCC operations beginning April 1, 1997. The Company's continued negative cash flow is the result of the Company's historical inforce premium base being significantly higher than its current level and higher than expected payments of claims and claim adjustment expenses in the 1995 and 1996 accident years. The Company anticipates it will continue to experience negative cash flow from operations until the claims related to the historically higher premium base have been paid out. In addition, the reduction in net written premium arising out of a February 1, 1998 "Quota-Share Arrangement" with United States Life Insurance Company (rated "A+" by A.M. Best) under which the Company cedes 100% of premiums and claim and claim adjustment expenses associated with policies having $100,000 or more of estimated annual premium, will increase negative cash flow substantially. The Company receives a 35.0% ceding commission on premiums ceded under the Quota Share Arrangement. Although the Company has implemented its Claims Severity Management Program to control cash outflows related to the 1995 and 1996 accident years at acceptable levels, there can be no assurance that it will be successful. In any event, the Company believes that it has adequate short-term investments and readily marketable investment grade securities to cover both claim payments and expenses. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had total cash, cash equivalents and investments of $228.5 million and had 99.1% of its investment portfolio invested in cash, cash equivalents, and fixed maturities. In addition, 92.0% of the Company's fixed-income portfolio had ratings of "AA" or equivalent or better and 98.1% had ratings of "BBB" or equivalent or better. 13 14 On December 3, 1997, the Superior National Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SNIG, issued its 10 3/4% Trust Preferred Securities, having an aggregate liquidation amount of $105 million, in a private placement and also issued to SNIG, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $3.25 million, all of the Trust's common securities. The proceeds from the sale of these securities were used to purchase SNIG's 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"), all of which were issued in connection with such transaction. In addition, the Company entered into several contractual undertakings which, the Company believes, when taken together, guarantee (the "Company Guarantee") to the holders of such securities a full and unconditional right to enforce the payment of the distributions with respect to such securities. On January 16, 1998, SNIG and the Trust completed the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of an exchange offer for the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, Senior Subordinated Notes and Company Guarantee, pursuant to which substantially all of such securities were exchanged for substantially similar securities. SNIG used the proceeds it received from the issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes to repay the $40.3 million outstanding balance on the term loan used to acquire SPCC, to redeem approximately $27.7 million in preferred stock issued by a SNIG affiliate to Centre Reinsurance (Bermuda) Ltd., an affiliate of Zurich, to pay approximately $4.0 million in related transaction costs, and for general corporate purposes, including a $15.0 million contribution to the surplus of SNIC. Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities (and interest on the related Senior Subordinated Notes) are payable semi-annually, in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 1998. Subject to certain conditions, on or after December 1, 2005, SNIG has the right to redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part at any time, at call prices ranging from 105.375% at December 1, 2005 to 101.792% at December 1, 2007, and 100% thereafter. The proceeds from any such redemption will be immediately applied by the Trust to redeem Trust Preferred Securities and the Trust's common securities at such redemption prices. In addition, SNIG has the right, at any time, subject to certain conditions, to defer payments of interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes for Extension Periods (as defined in the related Indenture), each not exceeding 10 consecutive semi-annual periods; provided that no Extension Period may extend beyond the maturity date of the Senior Subordinated Notes. As a consequence of any such extension by SNIG of the interest payment period, distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities would be deferred (though such distributions would continue to accrue interest at a rate of 10.75% per annum compounded semi-annually). Upon the termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, SNIG may commence a new Extension Period, subject to certain requirements. In November 1996, the Company entered into a financing transaction involving Centre Reinsurance Limited ("Centre Re"), an affiliate of Zurich, and Chase pursuant to which Chase extended a $93.1 million term loan, net of transaction costs. The Company used the proceeds from the transaction to purchase from SNIC reinsurance receivables due from Centre Re. As a result, the Company's investable assets increased $93.1 million. The additional investments contributed to the increase in investment income in 1997. In June 1997, the term loan was retired when $110.5 million of receivables from Centre Re were transferred to Chase in exchange for cancellation of the Company's $94.9 million debt due to Chase under the term loan. The retirement of the term loan resulted in the Company recognizing a $15.7 million charge. The Company has a reverse repurchase facility with a national securities brokerage firm that allows it to engage in up to $20 million in reverse repurchase transactions secured either by U.S. Treasury instruments, U.S. Agency debt, or corporate debt. This arrangement provides the Company with additional short-term liquidity. Reverse repurchase transactions may be rolled over from one period to the next, at which time the transaction is repriced. This type of financing allows the Company a great deal of flexibility to manage short-term investments, avoiding the unnecessary realization of losses to satisfy short-term cash needs. Further, this method of financing is less expensive than bank debt. As of March 31, 1998, the Company had no obligation outstanding under this facility. Because SNIG is a holding company, it depends on dividends and tax allocation payments from its insurance subsidiaries, SNIC and SPCC, for its net cash flow requirements, which consist primarily of periodic payments on its outstanding debt obligations, principally the Trust Preferred Securities. Absent other sources of cash flow, SNIG cannot expend funds materially in excess of the amount of dividends or tax 14 15 allocation payments that could be paid to it by SNIC and SPCC. Further, insurance companies are subject to restrictions affecting the amount of shareholder dividends and advances that may be paid within any one year without the prior approval of the DOI. The California Insurance Code provides that amounts may be paid as dividends on an annual noncumulative basis (generally based on the greater of (i) net income for the preceding year or (ii) 10% of statutory surplus as regards policyholders as of the preceding December 31) without prior notice to, or approval by, the DOI. No dividends were paid during the three months ended March 31, 1998. The Company is a party to various leases principally associated with the Company's home and branch office space. Such leases contain provisions for scheduled lease charges and escalations in base rent over the lease term. The Company's minimum commitment with respect to these leases in 1998, is approximately $7.6 million. These leases expire from 2000 to 2003. With the exception of the approximately $285 million in cash outlays necessary to complete the announced acquisition of Business Insurance Group, Inc., the Company does not foresee any expenditures during the next twelve months other than those arising in the normal course of business. TAXES As of March 31, 1998, the Company had available approximately $126.4 million in net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") to offset taxable income recognized by the Company in periods after March 31, 1998. For federal income tax purposes, these NOLs will expire in material amounts beginning in the year 2006. Any 5% shift in the current ownership of the Company may result in a "change of ownership" under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and severely limit the Company's ability to utilize NOLs. In an effort to protect these NOLs, the Company's charter documents prohibit 5% owners of the Company's common stock (including holders of options and warrants) from acquiring additional stock and prohibit any additional person or entity from becoming a 5% holder of common stock. The prohibition against changes in ownership by the 5% holders of common stock expires in April 2000. YEAR 2000 STRATEGY A significant percentage of the software that runs most of the computers in the United States and the rest of the world relies on two-digit date codes to perform computations and decision making functions. Commencing January 1, 2000, these computer programs may fail from an inability to interpret date codes properly, misinterpreting "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. The Company is in the process of identifying all necessary software and hardware changes to ensure that it does not experience any loss of critical business functionality due to the year 2000 issue. The Company has appointed an internal Year 2000 project manager and adopted a three phase approach of assessment, correction and testing. The scope of the project includes all internal software, hardware, and operating systems, and assessment of risk to the business from producers, vendors and other partners in Year 2000 issues. The Company believes that this formal assessment of risk (including the prioritization of business risk), correction (including conversions to new software), and testing of necessary changes will minimize the business risk of Year 2000 from internal systems. The Company plans to complete its Year 2000 conversion not later than December 31, 1998. Although the Company has not completed its Year 2000 project, the Company does not believe the Year 2000 issue will cause any system problems that could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company. The Company does not expect the cost associated with its year 2000 project to be material. The effect of inflation on the revenues and net income during the three months ended March 31, 1998 was not significant. 15 16 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION On May 5, 1998, the Company and Foundation Health Corporation ("FHC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Foundation Health Systems, Inc., entered into a Purchase Agreement under which the Company agreed to purchase for approximately $256.5 million in cash ($285 million less the cost of a Loss Reserves Guarantee (described below) provided through reinsurance) (the "Acquisition") all outstanding shares of the capital stock of Business Insurance Group, Inc. ("BIG"), an insurance holding company that, through its wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, California Compensation Insurance Company, a California stock insurance company, Business Insurance Company, a Delaware stock insurance company, Combined Benefits Insurance Company, a California stock insurance company, and Commercial Compensation Insurance Company, a New York stock insurance company, writes workers' compensation and group health insurance, principally in California, with branch operations throughout the continental United States. The Company will offset the reduction in BIG's surplus resulting from the cost of reinsurance for the Loss Reserves Guarantee with a capital contribution to BIG, so the total cash outlays by the Company in connection with the Acquisition will be $285.0 million, excluding transaction expenses. In connection with the Acquisition, FHC will provide a "Loss Reserves Guarantee" through the purchase of reinsurance, which will provide $175 million of adverse development protection on BIG's loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. The Loss Reserves Guarantee will be obtained by FHC at FHC's cost. The reinsurance policy will be procured by BIG's insurance subsidiaries and its cost will be deducted from the purchase price payable to FHC. The Company anticipates contributing to the capital of the BIG insurance subsidiaries an amount equal to the cost of the reinsurance policy. The Company will also enter into a three- year quota share reinsurance agreement with a reinsurer rated "A+" by A.M. Best, an independent insurance rating agency, under which the Company and BIG will reinsure accounts with premiums in excess of $25,000. The Company has also agreed to enter into long-term contracts with affiliates of FHC under which such affiliates will continue to provide bill review and other claims control services to the Company and BIG. The Company will finance the Acquisition through the issuance of $200 million of Common Stock and approximately $110 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The amount raised in excess of $285 million will be used to pay related transaction costs and for general corporate purposes. The Company will offer $106 million of Common Stock through a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") to the Company's existing Common Stock, warrant, and option holders on a pro-rata basis, excluding IP (as defined below) and other securities holders related to the Zurich Insurance Company. The Company will offer the remaining $94 million of Common Stock to Insurance Partners, L.P. ("IP Delaware"), Insurance Partners Offshore (Bermuda), L.P. ("IP Bermuda") and Capital Z Partners, Ltd. (the general partner of a successor fund of IP Delaware and IP Bermuda, which shall be formed prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, collectively referred to herein with IP Delaware and IP Bermuda as "IP") in a private transaction pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between IP and the Company dated as of May 5, 1998 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") under which IP has also committed to purchase, in addition to the $94 million of Common Stock, up to $106 million of Common Stock. This latter commitment is to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock for which subscription rights are not exercised in the Rights Offering. By providing this "backstop," the Company was able to provide FHC with satisfactory assurances that all of the anticipated proceeds of the Rights Offering would be available to complete the Acquisition. All of the Common Stock will be issued at a price of $16.75 per share. In connection with its investment, IP has agreed to certain restrictions protecting minority stockholders. The $16.75 price and other terms of the Rights Offering were set by the Company's board of directors, in consultation with its financial advisors, and will be materially the same as the terms of the IP transaction, subject to adjustments determined by the Company's board of directors to be reasonable and appropriate. This description does not constitute an offer of any securities. Any offering of securities in the transactions described above, other than the issuance and sale of Common Stock to IP under the Stock Purchase Agreement, will be made only by means of prospectus. Stockholders are cautioned, however, that the mere decision to undertake a transaction does not change the contingencies that apply to these prospective 16 17 transactions, or the likelihood that an offering will, in fact, occur. Registration statements will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Rights Offering and the senior notes offering, and none of these securities may be sold before the registration statements are declared effective. The Acquisition is subject to the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Anti-Trust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and approval by several state insurance regulatory authorities. In addition, the Rights Offering and the issuance and sale of Common Stock to IP under the Stock Purchase Agreement are each subject to stockholder approval, which the Company intends to solicit at its 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, presently scheduled to occur in late September 1998. Assuming the preceding approvals are obtained and that no unforeseen impediments arise, the Company anticipates that the Acquisition will be consummated in late October to early November of 1998.
