BANCINSURANCE CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. We prepared the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2002, the
Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
without an audit. In the opinion of management, we made all adjustments
necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows at June 30, 2002 and for all periods presented.
We prepared the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for interim financial information and with the instructions to the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
2. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States have been omitted. We recommend that your
read these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements together with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. The results of operations
for the period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
3. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations
(SFAS 141), which eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of accounting
for business combinations and requires the use of the purchase method. In
addition, SFAS 141 requires the reassessment of intangible assets to
determine if they are appropriately classified either separately or within
goodwill. SFAS 141 is effective for business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001. We adopted SFAS 141 on July 1, 2001, with no material impact
on the financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Under SFAS 142, we no longer amortize
goodwill and intangibles which have indefinite lives. SFAS 142 requires
that we assess goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives for
impairment at least annually, based on the fair value of the related
reporting unit. We have not yet determined which quarter our annual
impairment assessment will be performed on an on-going basis.
As an initial step in the SFAS 142 implementation process, we assigned
goodwill and intangibles to our property casualty insurance, insurance
agency and municipal code publishing units. As a result of this assignment,
we identified a noncompete agreement in the amount of $120,001 that was
separately classified as an intangible with a definite life. Following such
assignment, the fair value of each reporting unit was compared to its
carrying value. Fair values were determined by discounting estimated future
cash flows.
Based on our impairment testing, a net after-tax impairment charge of
$1,481,858 ($0.25 per diluted share) was recognized as a cumulative effect
of change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002. The
impairment charge was associated with the August 1999 acquisition of Paul
Boardway and Associates, Inc.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 are as follows:

6. We operate primarily in the property/casualty insurance industry. There are
intersegment management and commission fees. The allocations of certain
general expenses within segments are based on a number of assumptions, and
the reported operating results would change if different assumptions were
applied. Depreciation and capital expenditures are not considered material.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
-------------
OVERVIEW
Bancinsurance Corporation is a specialty property insurance holding company. Our
principal sources of revenue are premiums paid by insureds for insurance
policies issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ohio Indemnity Company. Premium
volume principally is earned as written due to the nature of the monthly
policies we issue. Our principal costs are losses and loss adjustment expenses.
The principal factor in determining the level of our profit is the difference
between (i) the sum of the premiums earned and investment income and (ii) the
sum of the losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred.
Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves are estimates of what an insurer
expects to pay on behalf of claimants. We are required to maintain reserves for
payment of estimated losses and loss adjustment expenses for both reported
claims and incurred but not reported claims. Our ultimate liability may be
different from our current reserve estimates.
We estimate losses and loss adjustment expense reserves for incurred but not
reported claims based on many variables, including historical and statistical
information, inflation, legal developments, economic conditions, general trends
in claim severity and frequency and other factors that could affect the adequacy
of loss reserves. We review case and incurred but not reported reserves monthly
and make appropriate adjustments.
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, American Legal Publishing Corporation, offers a
wide range of publishing services for state and local governments. Our
wholly-owned subsidiary, Paul Boardway and Associates, Inc., is a
property/casualty insurance agency serving lending institutions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
JUNE 30, 2001 AS COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2000
- ------------------------------------------
Premiums. Premiums written increased 3.4% in the second quarter of 2002 to
$11,013,899 from $10,647,694 in the same quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date
basis, premiums written increased 11.6% to $23,044,259 from $20,649,726 in the
same six-month period of 2001. The growth in premiums written was primarily
attributable to both policies added during 2001 and volume increases with
existing customers. This volume increase was the result of geographic expansion
and more competitive automobile financing by some of our customers, which
increased their share of the automobile lending market. Net premiums earned for
the second quarter of 2002 decreased 4.9% to $10,097,226 from $10,618,263 for
the same quarter of 2001. The decrease in net premiums earned during the second
quarter was attributable to increases in unearned premium reserves associated
with advance premium collections and ceded reinsurance premiums. Year-to-date
net premiums earned increased 8.2% to $19,084,686 from $17,632,957 in 2001.
Premiums written related to our ultimate loss insurance products decreased 9.8%
to $9,187,817 in the second quarter of 2002 from $10,182,076 in the second
quarter of 2001. The decrease in premiums written was primarily attributable to
continuing unfavorable economic conditions and increased competition from other
financial services companies during 2002. On a year-to-date basis, premiums
written for our ultimate loss insurance products increased 8.2% to $17,777,864
in the first half of 2002 from $16,432,225 in the same period of 2001. This
growth was attributable to policies added during 2001. Premiums written related
to our Guaranteed Auto Protection products ("GAP") increased 157.1% to $707,656
in the second quarter of 2002 from $275,289 in the same period of 2001. On a
year-to-date basis, GAP premiums written increased 200.3% to $1,131,279 from
$376,729 in the same period of 2001. This growth in GAP premium was due
primarily to an agent transferring a book of business to us during the third
quarter of 2001. Premiums written related to our unemployment insurance
protection products increased 330.6% to $819,499 in the second quarter of 2002
from $190,329 in the same period of 2001. This increase was primarily due to
timing differences on billings issuance related to mandated surety bonds. On a
year-to-date basis, unemployment insurance protection premiums written remained
relatively constant at $3,913,916 during the first six months of 2002 and
$3,840,772 during the same period of 2001. During the third quarter of 2001, we
assumed bail bond coverage in New Jersey. Premiums written for this product were
$298,927 during the second quarter of 2002 and $221,200 on a year-to-date basis.
Investment Income. Net investment income increased 4.2% to $368,987 in the
second quarter of 2002 from $354,142 in the second quarter of 2001. On a
year-to-date basis, net investment income decreased 51.2% to $590,166 from
$1,208,590 during the same period of 2001. This decrease was primarily due to
realized losses of $149,685 in 2002 as compared with realized gains of $399,968
in the same period of 2001. The relatively small growth in investment income in
the second quarter reflected the impact of lower reinvestment rates that
resulted from the decline in interest rates during the past year. The annualized
pre-tax equivalent investment yield on fixed income investments, which is
investment income divided by the average amount of fixed income assets, was 4.5%
during the first six months of 2002 and 4.8% during the first six months of
2001.
Investment of Ohio Indemnity's assets is restricted to the investments permitted
by the Ohio insurance laws. Our overall investment policy is determined by our
Board of Directors and is reviewed periodically. We principally invest in
investment-grade obligations of states, municipalities and political
subdivisions because the majority of the interest income from such investments
is tax-exempt and such investments have generally resulted in favorable net
yields. We have the ability and intent to hold held to maturity fixed income
securities to maturity or to the put date, and, as a result, we carry held to
maturity fixed income securities at amortized cost for GAAP purposes. As our
fixed income securities mature, there can be no assurance that we will be able
to reinvest in securities with comparable yields.

BANCINSURANCE CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Codification and Subscription Fees. Codification and subscription fees generated
by American Legal Publishing increased 29.7% in the second quarter of 2002 to
$766,348 from $590,830 in the same quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date basis,
American Legal Publishing's codification and subscription fees increased 27.9%
to $1,514,709 from $1,184,704 in the same six-month period of 2001. The increase
in fees was primarily the result of our acquisition in June 2001 of Justinian
Publishing Company, which contributed $111,881 in additional codification fees
in the second quarter of 2002 and $294,745 in additional codification fees in
the first six months of 2002.
Management Fees. Our management fees in the second quarter of 2002 decreased
57.0% to $138,353 from $321,839 in the same quarter of 2001. The decrease was
primarily attributable to timing differences of unemployment insurance
protection benefits. Year-to-date management fees increased 5.4% to $459,866
from $436,417 in the same period of 2001. This increase was the result of a 3.7%
decline in calendar year benefit charges which were partially offset by a 2.9%
reduction in fees from our bonded service business, one of our unemployment
insurance protection products. We expect management fees to vary from period to
period depending on unemployment levels and claims experience in bonded service.
Other Income. Other income decreased 20.6% to $17,019 in the second quarter of
2002 from $21,426 in the same quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date basis, other
income increased 231.9% to $161,408 from $48,638 in the same period of 2001. The
increase in the year-to-date period was primarily the result of releasing a
$100,000 reserve related to the dismissal of a dispute with an unaffiliated
party.
Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses. Losses and loss adjustment expenses (net of
reinsurance recoveries) in the second quarter of 2002 increased 20.3% to
$5,562,452 from $4,623,452 in the second quarter of 2001. This increase was
primarily the result of growth in premiums written and weak economic conditions.
Losses paid with respect to our ultimate loss insurance products in the second
quarter of 2002 were $5,066,822 on a pre-tax basis compared with $4,214,321 in
the same quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date basis, losses paid with respect to
our ultimate loss insurance products increased 55.5% to $11,866,492 from
$7,629,331 for the same six-month period in 2001. This increase was due
primarily to growth in net premiums earned.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consist of experience rating adjustments,
commission expenses and other insurance operating expenses. Operating expense
decreased 26.8% in the second quarter to $4,463,551 from $6,096,591 in the same
quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date basis, operating expenses decreased 19.2% to
$7,062,614 from $8,741,797 in the same six-month period of 2001. Experience
rating adjustments decreased in the second quarter of 2002 to $578,821 from
$2,691,380 in the same quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date basis, experience
rating adjustments decreased to $214,587 from $2,829,287 in the same six month
period of 2001. These decreases were primarily attributable to a significant
policy added in 2001. Experience rating adjustments are calculated and adjusted
from period to period based on policy experience to date and premium growth.
Management anticipates that experience rating adjustments may fluctuate in
future quarters based upon this calculation. Commissions, other insurance
operating and administrative expenses in the second quarter increased 14.1% to
$3,884,730 from $3,405,211 in the second quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date
basis, commissions, operating and administrative expenses in the first six
months of 2002 increased 15.8% to $6,848,027 from $5,912,510 in the same
six-month period of 2001. Commission expense increases were consistent with
overall premium activity in 2002. Increases in administrative expenses were
primarily the result of increases in salaries and related benefits and
consulting. American Legal Publishing incurred operating and administrative
expenses of $734,847 and $1,308,917 for the second quarter and first six months
of 2002, respectively, compared with $564,701 and $1,050,426 for the second
quarter and first six months of year-to-date in 2001, respectively. These
increases were attributable to both salary and printing increases.
Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle. Effective January 1, 2002,
the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). Under SFAS 142, the Company
will no longer amortize goodwill and intangibles which have indefinite lives.
SFAS 142 also requires that the Company assess goodwill and intangibles with
indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, based on the fair value of
the related reporting unit. The Company has not yet determined which quarter its
annual impairment assessment will be performed on an on-going basis.
As an initial step in the SFAS 142 implementation process, the Company assigned
its goodwill and intangibles to three of its reporting units. As a result of
this allocation, the Company identified a noncompete agreement in the amount of
$120,001 that was separately classified as an intangible with a definite life.
Then, the fair value of each reporting unit was compared to its carrying value.
Fair values were determined by discounting estimated future cash flows.
Based on the Company's impairment testing a net after-tax impairment charge of
$1,481,858 ($0.25 per diluted share) was recognized as a cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle in the first quarter of 2002. The impairment
charge was associated with the August 1999 acquisition of Paul Boardway and
Associates, Inc.

BANCINSURANCE CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Amortization expense related to amortizable intangible assets was $17,491 and
$42,982 for second quarter and year-to-date in 2002 and $7,503 and $13,013 for
second quarter and year-to-date 2001, respectively.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income tax expense increased to $381,070 in the
second quarter of 2002 from $335,685 in the same quarter of 2001. On a
year-to-date basis, federal income tax expense increased to $800,258 from
$575,226 in the same six-month period of 2001. The effective federal income tax
rate was 28.6% and 28.4% for the second quarter of 2002 and 2001, respectively,
and 28.8% and 27.7% for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively.
GAAP Combined Ratio. Our combined ratio for the second quarter and the first six
months of 2002 was 83.5% and 88.9%, respectively, and 90.8% and 91.3% for the
second quarter and the first six months of 2001, respectively. These decreases
were the result of higher expense ratios in 2001 as a result of a change in
experience rating adjustments related to the addition of a significant policy in
the second quarter of 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We are an insurance holding company whose principal asset is the capital stock
of Ohio Indemnity. We are, and will continue to be, dependent on dividends from
Ohio Indemnity to meet our liquidity requirements, including our debt service
obligations. We have a $13 million credit facility to fund working capital
requirements. Based on statutory limitations, the maximum amount of dividends
that we would be able to receive in 2002 from Ohio Indemnity, absent regulatory
consent, is $2,963,288. Ohio Indemnity derives its funds principally from net
premiums written, reinsurance recoveries, investment income and contributions of
capital from us. Ohio Indemnity's principal use of these funds is for payment of
losses and loss adjustment expenses, commissions, operating expenses and income
taxes. Net cash provided by operating activities equaled $417,016 and $5,628,992
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net cash provided
by (used in) financing activities equaled $(800,105) and $303,459 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net cash used in our
investing activities was $695,064 and $1,762,226 for the six months ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
American Legal Publishing derives its funds principally from codification and
subscription fees which are currently sufficient to meet its operating expenses.
Paul Boardway and Associates derives its funds principally from commission fees
which are currently sufficient to meet its operating expenses. When expanding
our business through acquisitions, we have selected growth opportunities to
build upon existing strengths and industry experience. As each business segment
is continually evaluated with goals of increased revenue and profitability,
management will reposition assets to those areas which contribute to our overall
financial objectives.
We maintain a level of cash and liquid short-term investments which we believe
will be adequate to meet our anticipated expenses without being required to
liquidate intermediate-term and long-term investments through the next 12
months. Because of the nature of the risks we insure, losses and loss adjustment
expenses emanating from the insurance policies that we issue are characterized
by relatively short settlement periods and quick development of ultimate losses
compared to claims emanating from other types of insurance products. Therefore,
we believe that we can estimate our cash needs to meet our loss and expense
obligations through the next 12 months.
Our investments at June 30, 2002 consisted primarily of investment-grade fixed
income securities. Cash and short-term investments at June 30, 2002 amounted to
$24,374,289 or 48.6% of our total cash and invested assets. The fair values of
our held to maturity fixed income securities are subject to market fluctuations
but are carried on our balance sheet at amortized cost because we have the
ability and intent to hold held to maturity fixed income securities to maturity
or put date. Available for sale fixed income securities are reported at fair
values with unrealized gains or losses, net of applicable deferred taxes,
reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income. We earned net investment
income of $590,166 and $1,208,590 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The 51.2% decrease was primarily due to realized losses on
certain securities in our investment portfolio, and, to a lesser extent, lower
investment yields that resulted from declines in interest rates during the past
year.
Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates will change and cause a
decrease in the value of an insurer's investments. We mitigate this risk by
attempting to ladder the maturity schedule with the expected payouts of our
liabilities. To the extent that liabilities come due more quickly than assets
mature, we would have to sell assets prior to maturity and recognize a gain or
loss.
All our material capital commitments and financial obligations are reflected in
our financial statements, except our risk on surety bonds and state mandated
performance bonds, written in connection with our unemployment insurance
protection product. Our financial statements include reserves for losses on this
business for any claims filed and for an estimate of incurred but not reported
losses. Such reserves were $225,500 and $425,500 at June 30, 2002 and December
31, 2001, respectively.

BANCINSURANCE CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Under applicable insurance statutes and regulations, Ohio Indemnity is required
to maintain prescribed amounts of capital and surplus as well as statutory
deposits with the appropriate insurance authorities. Ohio Indemnity is in
compliance with all applicable statutory capital and surplus requirements. Ohio
Indemnity's investments consist only of permitted investments under Ohio
insurance laws.
DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes
"forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements.
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and
prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity
prices and other relevant market rate or price changes. Market risk is
influenced by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which the related
underlying assets are traded. The following is a discussion of our primary
market risk exposures and how those exposures are currently managed as of June
30, 2002. Our market risk sensitive instruments are entered into for purposes
other than trading.
The carrying value of our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2002 was
$31,634,826, 61.4% of which is invested in fixed income securities, 20.0% in
equity securities and 18.6% in short-term investments. The primary market risk
to the investment portfolio is interest rate risk associated with investments in
fixed income securities as well as fixed-rate short-term investments. We have no
foreign exchange risk or direct commodity risk.
For fixed income securities, our short-term liquidity needs and the potential
liquidity needs of our business are key factors in managing our portfolio. The
portfolio duration relative to the liabilities' duration is primarily managed
through cash market transactions. For additional information regarding our
objectives and strategies pertaining to our investment portfolio, see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources."
For our investment portfolio, during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, there were
no material changes in our primary market risk exposures or in how these
exposures were managed compared to the year ended December 31, 2001. We do not
anticipate material changes in our primary market risk exposures or in how those
exposures are managed in future reporting periods based upon what is known or
expected to be in effect during future reporting periods.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER FORWARD-LOOKING
Going forward, management will consider underwriting, acquisition and investment
opportunities which fit our strategy of penetrating specialized insurance
markets within the financial services industry. These opportunities will be in
areas where management believes we have an understanding of the underwriting and
inherent risks. Management intends to add independent agents to expand our
market presence. We will also further concentrate on penetrating larger
financial institutions for collateral protection insurance and expanding
financial institution programs and auto dealer service contract programs. In
addition, we will also consider opportunities for underwriting additional
non-profit organizations as they continue to consolidate into national trusts
and seek to retain and transfer their unemployment claim exposure.
TRENDS
The Company's results of operations have varied from quarter to quarter
principally because of fluctuations in underwriting results. In addition, the
majority of our products are dependent on the demand for our customers'
automobile financing programs. Automobile sales in the second quarter of 2002
were lower than in the prior two quarters. We expect that the recent
introduction of zero percent financing by captive automobile finance companies,
with less stringent qualifications than in the past, should increase automobile
sales in the third quarter of 2002. However, we are not certain what share of
these sales will be financed by our customers.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Statements in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" that indicate our intentions, hopes, beliefs,
expectations or predictions of the future are forward-looking statements. It is
important to note that our actual results could differ materially from those
projected in such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Many of the factors that will determine our actual results are beyond our
ability to control or predict. We caution you not to put undue reliance on
forward-looking statements. In addition, we have no obligation, and we do not
intend, to update forward-looking statements after the date hereof, even if new
information, future events, or other circumstances have made them incorrect or
misleading. For those statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.
16
BANCINSURANCE CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Some of the factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our
forward-looking statements include: (i) the demand for our ultimate loss, GAP
and unemployment insurance products is affected by factors beyond our control
such as changes in interest rates, level of automobile financing activity, cost
of automobiles, consumer confidence, unemployment levels, and general economic
activity; (ii) the risk that losses from claims are greater than anticipated
such that reserves for potential claims are inadequate; (iii) the risk that
unanticipated adverse changes in the securities markets could result in material
losses in our investments; and (iv) the dependence on key management personnel
with skills critical to our long-term success.
INFLATION
We do not consider the impact of inflation to be material in the analysis of our
overall operations.
INSURANCE REGULATORY MATTERS
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners has developed a risk-based
capital measurement formula to be applied to all property/casualty insurance
companies. This formula calculates a minimum required statutory net worth, based
on the underwriting, investment, credit, loss reserve and other business risks
inherent in an individual company's operations. Under the current formula, any
insurance company which does not meet the applicable risk-based capital
measurement threshold could be forced to reduce the scope of its operations and
ultimately could become subject to statutory receivership proceedings. Based on
our analysis, our statutory net worth is in excess of the applicable threshold
and no corrective action is necessary. The risk-based capital provisions have
been enacted into the Ohio Revised Code.
RESERVES
The amount of our incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses is dependent upon
a number of factors, including claims frequency and severity, the nature and
types of losses incurred and the number of policies written. These factors may
fluctuate from year to year and do not necessarily bear any relationship to the
amount of premiums written or earned.
As claims are incurred, provisions are made for unpaid losses and loss
adjustment expenses by accumulating case reserve estimates for claims reported
prior to the close of the accounting period and by estimating incurred but not
reported claims based upon past experience modified for current trends.
Notwithstanding the variability inherent in such estimates, management believes
that the provisions made for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are
adequate to meet our claim obligations. Such estimates are reviewed monthly by
management and annually by an independent consulting actuary and, as adjustments
thereto become necessary, such adjustments are reflected in our results of
operations. Our independent consulting actuary has opined that loss and loss
adjustment expense reserve levels, as of December 31, 2001, were reasonable.

Item 5. Other Information
-----------------
The following paragraphs provide an updated summary of the material attributes
of the capital stock of Bancinsurance. The summary is qualified in its entirety
by reference to Bancinsurance's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation
(the "Amended Articles") and Amended and Restated Code of Regulations (the
"Amended Regulations"), copies of which have been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
GENERAL
Bancinsurance's authorized capital stock consists of (1) 20,000,000 Common
Shares, without par value (the "Common Shares"); (2) 100,000 Class A Serial
Preference Shares, without par value (the "Class A Serial Preference Shares");
and (3) 98,646 Class B Serial Preference Shares, without par value (the "Class B
Serial Preference Shares"). As of July 25, 2002, 5,208,003 Common Shares were
outstanding and no Class A Serial Preference Shares or Class B Serial Preference
Shares were outstanding. The Common Shares are traded on The Nasdaq National
Market.
COMMON SHARES
The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote per share on all matters
to be voted upon by Bancinsurance's shareholders. Upon due notice by any holder
of Common Shares desiring to cumulate his or her votes at an election of
directors, each holder of Common Shares is entitled under Ohio law to cumulate
his or her votes according to the number of directors to be elected.
Elections of directors are determined by a plurality of the votes cast. Subject
to any special voting rights or requirements provided for in the Amended
Articles, in the Amended Regulations or by law, all other matters to be voted
upon by Bancinsurance's shareholders must be approved by the holders of Common
Shares entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of
Bancinsurance. The holders of the Common Shares have no preemptive rights to
purchase or subscribe for any Common Shares or other securities of Bancinsurance
and are not subject to any further calls or assessments by Bancinsurance. In
addition, there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund
provisions with respect to the Common Shares.
Subject to the rights of the holders of any Class A Serial Preference Shares
and/or Class B Serial Preference Shares which may be outstanding, each holder of
Common Shares on the applicable record date is entitled to receive dividends,
when and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available
therefor, on a pro-rata basis according to the number of Common Shares held. In.
the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Bancinsurance, each
holder of Common Shares is entitled to share pro-rata in any distribution of
Bancinsurance's assets after payment or provision for payment of Bancinsurance's
liabilities and the liquidation preference of any Class A Serial Preference
Shares and/or Class B Serial Preference Shares which may be outstanding.
CLASS A SERIAL PREFERENCE SHARES
The Board of Directors is authorized, without further shareholder action, to
designate and issue any authorized and unissued Class A Serial Preference Shares
in one or more series and to determine and fix for each such series the dividend
rights (which for each series of Class A Serial Preference Shares shall be
cumulative), redemption rights, rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, conversion or exchange rights, sinking fund requirements and any
restrictions on issuance. Any series of Class A Serial Preference Shares so
issued will have priority over the Class B Serial Preference Shares and the
Common Shares with respect to dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up and will be subject to a call for redemption at a price fixed by
the Board of
18

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the holders of any series of
Class A Serial Preference Shares so issued will have no right to vote on any
matter to be voted upon by the shareholders generally. However, Bancinsurance
may not change the express terms of any series of Class A Serial Preference
Shares in any manner substantially prejudicial to the holders thereof, without
the affirmative vote or written consent, of the holders of at least a majority
of the Class A Serial Preference Shares of the particular series proposed to be
changed. The holders of any series of Class A Serial Preference Shares so issued
will have no pre-emptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any Common Shares
or other securities of Bancinsurance and will not be subject to any further
calls or assessments by Bancinsurance.
CLASS B SERIAL PREFERENCE SHARES
The Board of Directors is authorized, without further shareholder action, to
designate and issue any authorized and unissued Class B Serial Preference Shares
in one or more series and to determine and fix for each such series the dividend
rights, redemption rights, rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up,
conversion or exchange rights, sinking fund requirements and any restrictions on
issuance. Any series of Class B Serial Preference Shares so issued will have
priority over the Common Shares with respect to dividends and rights upon
liquidation, dissolution and winding up and will be subject to a call for
redemption at a price fixed by the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise
provided by law, the holders of any series of Class B Serial Preference Shares
so issued will have no right to vote on any matter to be voted upon by the
shareholders generally. However, Bancinsurance may not change the express terms
of any series of Class B Serial Preference Shares in any manner substantially
prejudicial to the holders thereof, without the affirmative vote or written
consent, of the holders of at least a majority of the Class B Serial Preference
Shares of the particular series proposed to be changed. The holders of any
series of Class B Serial Preference Shares so issued will have no pre-emptive
rights to purchase or subscribe for any Common Shares or other securities of
Bancinsurance and will not be subject to any further calls or assessments by
Bancinsurance.
