These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Milbank Insurance Company as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP July 10, 1998 7 Milbank Insurance Company Balance Sheet December 31, 1997 (Dollars in thousands) ASSETS Fixed maturities, available for sale, at fair value (amortized cost $98,226) $100,695 Equity securities, available for sale, at fair value (cost $14,833) 21,489 -------- Total investments 122,184 Cash and cash equivalents 7,012 Deferred policy acquisition costs 4,751 Accrued investment income and other assets 1,657 Net prepaid pension expense 2,475 Reinsurance recoverable on losses and loss expenses payable 2,224 Prepaid reinsurance premiums 572 Property and equipment, at cost, net of accumulated depreciation of $394 2,087 Due from affiliates 631 Goodwill 2,078 -------- Total assets $145,671 ======== LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY Losses and loss expenses payable $ 43,803 Unearned premiums 25,588 Federal income taxes: Current 2,263 Deferred 2,238 -------- Total liabilities 73,892 Commitments and contingencies -- Stockholder's equity: Common stock ($100 par value; authorized, issued and outstanding 25,000 shares) 2,500 Additional paid-in capital 47,588 Net unrealized gains on investments 5,931 Retained earnings 15,760 -------- Total stockholder's equity 71,779 -------- Total liabilities and stockholder's equity $145,671 ======== See accompanying notes to financial statements. 2 8 Milbank Insurance Company Statement of Income Year ended December 31, 1997 (Dollars in thousands) Earned premiums $65,368 Net investment income 5,548 Net realized gains on investments 2,500 ------- Total revenues 73,416 Losses and loss expenses 42,444 Acquisition and operating expenses 21,130 Other expense, net 288 ------- Total expenses 63,862 ------- Income before federal income taxes 9,554 Federal income tax expense: Current 2,242 Deferred 273 ------- Total federal income taxes 2,515 ======= Net income $ 7,039 ======= See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 9 Milbank Insurance Company Statement of Stockholder's Equity Year ended December 31, 1997 (Dollars in thousands) Common stock: Beginning of year $ 2,500 Issuance of common stock -- ------- End of year 2,500 ------- Additional paid-in capital: Beginning of year 47,588 Issuance of common stock -- ------- End of year 47,588 ------- Net unrealized holding gains: Beginning of year 2,350 Change in net unrealized gains on investments 3,581 ------- End of year 5,931 ------- Retained earnings: Beginning of year 8,721 Net income 7,039 ------- End of year 15,760 ------- Total stockholder's equity $71,779 ======= See accompanying notes to financial statements. 4 10 Milbank Insurance Company Statement of Cash Flows Year ended December 31, 1997 (Dollars in thousands) Cash flows from operating activities: Net income $ 7,039 Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities: Depreciation and amortization 973 Net realized gains on investments (2,500) Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Deferred policy acquisition costs (429) Accrued investment income and other assets (162) Net prepaid pension expense (380) Reinsurance receivable on losses and loss expenses payable and prepaid reinsurance premiums 248 Other liabilities and due to/from affiliates, net (1,439) Losses and loss expenses payable (1,933) Unearned premiums 924 Federal income taxes 1,696 -------- Net cash provided by operating activities 4,037 Cash flows from investing activities: Purchase of fixed maturities - available for sale (39,809) Purchase of equity securities (8,591) Sales and maturities, calls and principal reductions of fixed maturities - available for sale 39,385 Sale of equity securities 9,122 Net additions of property and equipment (109) -------- Net cash used in investing activities (2) Net increase in cash and cash equivalents 4,035 Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year 2,977 -------- Cash and cash equivalents at end of year $ 7,012 ======== See accompanying notes to financial statements. 5 11 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1997 (Dollars in Thousands) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements include the accounts of Milbank Insurance Company (the Company). The Company, a South Dakota corporation, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company (Mutual). (A) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS The Company provides personal and commercial insurance to its policyholders, primarily in the states of North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Utah through an independent insurance agency system. The Company's principal lines of business include personal and commercial automobile, homeowners, commercial multi-peril and general liability insurance. The Company is chartered and licensed as a property and casualty insurer in the state of South Dakota and is licensed in various other states. As such it is subject to the regulations of the Department of Insurance of the state of South Dakota (the "Department") and the regulations of each state in which it operates. The Company undergoes periodic financial examination by the Department and insurance regulatory agencies of the states that choose to participate. (B) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which vary in certain respects from statutory accounting practices followed by the Company that are prescribed or permitted by the Department. In 1998, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) adopted codified statutory accounting practices ("Codification"). Codification will change, to some extent, prescribed statutory accounting practices and may result in changes to the accounting practices that the Company uses to prepare its statutory basis financial statements. Codification will require adoption by the various states before it becomes the prescribed statutory basis of accounting for insurance companies domesticated within those states. Accordingly, before Codification becomes effective for the Company, South Dakota must 6 12 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (B) BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED) adopt Codification as the prescribed basis of accounting on which domestic insurers must report their statutory basis results to the Department. At this time, it is unknown when or if South Dakota will adopt Codification. However, management believes that the impact of Codification will not be material to the Company's statutory basis financial statements. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet, revenues and expenses for the period then ended and the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of losses and loss expenses payable and the recoverability of deferred policy acquisition costs. In connection with the determination of these items, management uses historical data and current business conditions to formulate estimates including assumptions related to the ultimate cost to settle claims. These estimates by their nature are subject to uncertainties for various reasons. The Company's results of operations and financial condition could be impacted in the future should the ultimate payments required to settle claims vary from the liability currently provided. (C) PREMIUM REVENUES Premiums are recognized as earned using the monthly pro rata method over the contract period. (D) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS Acquisition costs, consisting of commissions, premium taxes, and certain underwriting expenses related to the production of property and casualty business, are deferred and amortized ratably over the contract period. The method followed in computing deferred policy acquisition costs limits the amount of such deferred costs to their estimated realizable value. In determining estimated realizable value, the computation gives effect to the premium 7 13 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (D) DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS (CONTINUED) to be earned, losses and loss expenses to be incurred, and certain other costs expected to be incurred as premium is earned, without credit for anticipated investment income. These amounts are based on estimates and accordingly, the actual realizable value may vary from the estimated realizable value. Net deferred policy acquisition costs were: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Balance, beginning of year $ 4,322 Acquisition costs deferred 16,726 Amortized to expense during the year (16,297) ======== Balance, end of year $ 4,751 ======== (E) GOODWILL Goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is being amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years. Accumulated amortization is $889 at December 31, 1997. (F) LOSSES AND LOSS EXPENSES PAYABLE Losses and loss expenses payable are based on formula and case-basis estimates for reported claims, and on estimates, based on experience, for unreported claims and loss expenses. The liability for unpaid losses and loss expenses, net of estimated salvage and subrogation recoverable of $2,382 at December 31, 1997, has been established to cover the estimated ultimate cost of insured losses. The amounts are necessarily based on estimates of future rates of inflation and other factors, and accordingly there can be no assurance that the ultimate liability will not vary from such estimates. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary; such adjustments are included in current operations. Salvage and subrogation recoverables are estimated using historical experience. 8 14 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (G) INVESTMENTS Investments in fixed maturities and equity securities held as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Net unrealized gains or losses, net of applicable deferred taxes, are shown as a separate component of stockholder's equity, and are not included in the determination of net income. Gains and losses on the sale of equity securities are computed using the first-in, first-out method. (H) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its parent, Mutual. Pursuant to a written agreement, each entity within the consolidated group pays its share of federal income taxes based on separate return calculations. Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method. Using this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. (I) CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. (J) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the reporting changes required by SFAS 130 to comprehensive income. 9 15 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (2) INVESTMENTS Realized and unrealized gains and losses are summarized as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Realized gains: Fixed maturity securities $ 227 Equity securities 2,392 ------- Total realized gains 2,619 ------- Realized losses: Fixed maturity securities (49) Equity securities (70) ------- Total realized losses (119) ------- Net realized gains on investments $ 2,500 ======= Increase in unrealized gains: Equity securities $ 3,133 Fixed maturity securities 2,376 Deferred federal income taxes thereon (1,928) ------- Increase in net unrealized holding gains $ 3,581 ======= 10 16 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (2) INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) The Company's investments in available-for-sale securities at December 31, 1997 are summarized as follows: GROSS GROSS AMORTIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED FAIR COST HOLDING GAINS HOLDING LOSSES VALUE --------- ------------- -------------- -------- U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies $ 28,104 $ 180 $173 $ 28,111 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 57,600 2,239 -- 59,839 Corporate securities 2,031 140 39 2,132 Mortgage-backed securities 10,491 161 39 10,613 -------- ------ ---- -------- Total fixed maturities 98,226 2,720 251 100,695 Equity securities 14,833 6,784 128 21,489 -------- ------ ---- -------- Total $113,059 $9,504 $379 $122,184 ======== ====== ==== ======== Deferred federal income taxes on the net unrealized gains was $3,508 at December 31, 1997. The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturities at December 31, 1997, by contractual maturity, are summarized as follows: AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE AMORTIZED COST FAIR VALUE -------------- ---------- Due after 1 year or less $ 2,333 $ 2,324 Due after 1 year through 5 years 15,791 15,744 Due after 5 years through 10 years 23,492 24,369 Due after 10 years 46,119 47,645 ------- -------- 87,735 90,082 Mortgage-backed securities 10,491 10,613 ------- -------- $98,226 $100,695 ======= ======== 11 17 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (2) INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED) Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers may have the right to call or prepay the obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Fixed maturities with carrying values of approximately $12,424 were on deposit as required by law or specific escrow agreement at December 31, 1997. Components of net investment income are summarized as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Fixed maturity securities $5,908 Equity securities 346 Cash and cash equivalents 216 ------ Investment income 6,470 Investment expenses (922) ------ Net investment income $5,548 ====== (3) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for these instruments approximate their fair value. Investment securities: Fair values for investments in fixed maturities are based on quoted market prices, where available. For fixed maturities not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services. The fair values for equity securities are based on quoted market prices. See Note 2 for additional fair value disclosures. 12 18 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (4) LOSSES AND LOSS EXPENSES PAYABLE Activity in the liability for losses and loss expenses is summarized as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Losses and loss expenses payable, net of reinsurance receivables, at beginning of year $43,297 Incurred related to: Current year 47,597 Prior years (5,153) ------- Total incurred 42,444 ------- Paid related to: Current year 27,355 Prior years 16,807 ------- Total paid 44,162 ------- Losses and loss expenses payable, net of reinsurance recoverables, at end of year $41,579 ======= The liability for losses and loss expenses decreased by $5,153 in 1997 for claims that had occurred in prior years. These decreases have resulted primarily from moderating trends in the frequency and severity of losses and loss expenses due to lower inflation. This along with fundamental improvements primarily in the auto liability and workers' compensation lines of business resulted in incurred losses and loss expenses developing favorably. Because of the nature of the business written over the years, the Company's management believes that the Company has limited exposure to environmental claim liabilities. (5) REINSURANCE In the ordinary course of business, the Company assumes and cedes reinsurance with other insurers and reinsurers and is a member in various pools and associations. The voluntary arrangements provide greater diversification of business and limit the maximum net loss 13 19 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (5) REINSURANCE (CONTINUED) potential arising from large risks and catastrophes. Most of the ceded reinsurance is effected under reinsurance contracts known as treaties; some is by negotiation on individual risks. Although the ceding of reinsurance does not discharge the original insurer from its primary liability to its policyholder, the insurance company that assumes the coverage assumes the related liability. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured business. The recoverability of these assets depends on the reinsurers' ability to perform under the reinsurance agreements. The Company evaluates and monitors the financial condition and concentrations of credit risk associated with its reinsurers under voluntary reinsurance arrangements to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The Company, along with State Auto Property and Casualty Insurance Company (State Auto P&C) participates in a reinsurance pooling arrangement with Mutual. The arrangement provides that all premiums, losses, loss expenses, underwriting expenses, premiums in course of collection and reinsurance recoverable on loss payments (all transactions and balances in the underwriting accounts) of the companies be pooled and then allocated to each company based on percentages outlined in the agreement. The pooling participation percentages allocate 35% to State Auto P&C, 55% to Mutual and 10% to the Company. The pooling arrangement was amended pursuant to an Amended and Restated Reinsurance Pooling Agreement, effective as of January 1, 1998, to include all of the property and casualty business of Midwest Security Insurance Company (Midwest Security), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mutual. Concurrently, with the inclusion of Midwest Security, the pooling participation percentages were amended to allocate 37% to State Auto P&C, 52% to Mutual, 10% to the Company and 1% to Midwest Security. In connection with the January 1, 1998 change in pooling percentages, Milbank received approximately $1.7 million to cover its increased share of pool liabilities. Pursuant to the pooling arrangement, Mutual is responsible for the collection of premiums and payment of losses, loss expenses and underwriting expenses of the pooled companies. Unpaid balances are reflected in due to or due from affiliate in the accompanying balance sheet. Settlements of the intercompany account are made quarterly. No interest is paid on this 14 20 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (5) REINSURANCE (CONTINUED) account. All premium balances receivable and reinsurance recoverable on paid losses from unaffiliated reinsurers are carried by Mutual. The State Auto Insurance Companies (State Auto P&C, Mutual, the Company and State Auto National Insurance Company (National)) participate in a catastrophe reinsurance program whereby State Auto P&C assumes catastrophe reinsurance from Mutual, Milbank and National pursuant to a catastrophe reinsurance agreement in the amount of $100 million excess of $120 million. This layer of $100 million in excess of $120 million has been excluded from the pooling arrangement pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Reinsurance Pooling Agreement effective January 1, 1998. The Company has reported ceded losses and loss expenses payable and prepaid reinsurance premiums as assets. The amounts reported represent the Company's pooling percentage of the total amounts ceded to unaffiliated reinsurers. All contracts providing indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk have been accounted for as reinsurance. The following table summarizes the Company's direct business, amounts contributed to the pool and the Company's participation in the pool: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Losses and loss expenses payable: Direct and assumed (excluding intercompany pooling) $36,732 Ceded (excluding intercompany pooling) (2,348) ------- Net amount contributed to the pool $34,384 ======= Direct and assumed (intercompany pooling) $43,918 Ceded (intercompany pooling) (2,224) ------- Net participation in the pool $41,694 ======= 15 21 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (5) REINSURANCE (CONTINUED) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Unearned premiums: Direct and assumed (excluding intercompany pooling) $20,971 Ceded (excluding intercompany pooling) (162) ------- Net amount contributed to the pool $20,809 ======= Direct and assumed (intercompany pooling) $25,588 Ceded (intercompany pooling) (572) ------- Net participation in the pool $25,016 ======= Earned premiums: Direct and assumed (excluding intercompany pooling) $58,598 Ceded (excluding intercompany pooling) (688) ------- Net amount contributed to the pool $57,910 ======= Direct and assumed (intercompany pooling) $67,992 Ceded (intercompany pooling) (2,204) ------- Net participation in the pool 65,788 Assumed from affiliates (excluding intercompany pooling) 836 ------- Total $66,624 ======= Losses and loss expenses incurred: Direct and assumed (intercompany pooling) $52,226 Ceded (excluding intercompany pooling) (397) ------- Net amount contributed to the pool $51,829 ======= Direct and assumed (intercompany pooling) $43,489 Ceded (intercompany pooling) (980) ------- Net participation in the pool $42,509 ======= 16 22 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (6) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES State Auto P&C provides executive management services to oversee the insurance operations of the Company. Fees relating to these services amounted to $830 in 1997. Stateco Financial Services, Inc. provides investment management services to the Company. Fees relating to these services amounted to $508 in 1997. (7) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES A reconciliation between actual federal income taxes and the amount computed at the indicated statutory rate is as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AMOUNT % ------ --- Amount at statutory rate $3,344 35% Tax-free interest and dividends received deduction (916) (9.5%) Other, net 87 .5% ------ ---- Federal income tax expense $2,515 26% ====== ==== The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below: DECEMBER 31, 1997 ----------------- Deferred tax assets: Unearned premiums not currently deductible $1,751 Losses and loss expenses payable discounting 1,938 Other 139 ------ Total deferred tax assets 3,828 17 23 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (7) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) Deferred tax liabilities: Deferral of policy acquisition costs (1,663) Net pension expense (866) Unrealized holding gain on investments (3,508) Other (29) ------- Total deferred tax liabilities (6,066) ------- Net deferred tax liability $(2,238) ======= The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the deferred tax asset that management believes will not be realized. In the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets and, therefore, no such valuation allowance has been established. Federal income taxes paid during 1997 were $819. (8) BENEFIT PLANS The Company, pursuant to an intercompany agreement, participates, together with Mutual and its affiliates, in a defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees of Mutual, the Company and State Auto Financial Corporation (STFC). The assets of the plan are represented primarily by U.S. government and agency obligations, bonds, and common stocks. Mutual, the Company and STFC's policy is to fund pension costs in accordance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Benefits are determined by applying factors specified in the plan to a participant's defined average annual compensation. 18 24 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (8) BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED) Information regarding the funded status and net periodic pension cost for the Company's participation in the plan is as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Accumulated benefit obligation: Vested $ 7,415 Nonvested 50 ------- $ 7,465 ======= Projected benefit obligation (PBO) for services rendered to date $(7,895) Plan assets at fair value 12,830 ------- Plan assets in excess of PBO 4,935 Unrecognized net gain (2,460) ------- Net prepaid pension expense $ 2,475 ======= 19 25 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (8) BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Net periodic pension cost consists of the following: Service cost (benefits earned during the period) $ 302 Interest cost on PBO 549 Actual return on plan assets (943) ----- Net periodic pension benefit $ (92) ===== The actuarial assumptions used in these calculations are as follows: 1997 ---- Weighted average discount rate 7.25% Rates of increase in compensation levels 4.50% Expected long-term rate of return on assets 9.00% The Company is also a participant, along with Mutual and its affiliates, in a defined contribution plan that covers substantially all employees of Mutual, the Company and STFC. Contributions to the plan are based on employee contributions and the level of Company match. The Company's share of the expense under the plan totaled $151 for 1997. (9) STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY The Company is subject to regulations and restrictions under which payment of dividends from statutory surplus can be made without prior approval of regulatory authorities. Pursuant to these rules, approximately $7 million is available for payment to Mutual in 1998 without prior approval. 20 26 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (9) STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY (CONTINUED) Reconciliations of statutory capital and surplus and net income or loss, as determined using statutory accounting practices, to the amounts included in the accompanying financial statements are as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ------------ Statutory capital and surplus $56,288 Add (subtract) cumulative effect of adjustments: Deferred policy acquisition costs 4,751 Losses and loss expenses payable 2,382 Net prepaid pension expense 2,475 Deferred federal income taxes (2,238) Excess of statutory loss liabilities over case basis amounts 2,192 Goodwill 2,078 Fixed maturities at fair value 3,340 Other, net 511 ------- Stockholder's equity per accompanying financial statements $71,779 ======= Statutory net income $ 6,964 Increases (decreases): Deferred policy acquisition costs 429 Losses and loss expenses payable 36 Net prepaid pension expense 380 Deferred federal income taxes (273) Net investment income (287) Goodwill (198) Other, net (12) ------- Net earnings per accompanying financial statements $ 7,039 ======= 21 27 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (10) QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, JUNE 30, SEPTEMBER 30, DECEMBER 31, --------- -------- ------------- ------------ 1997 ---- Total revenues $17,998 $18,019 $18,536 $18,863 Earnings before federal income taxes 1,737 2,067 2,346 3,404 Net earnings 1,340 1,562 1,737 2,400 (11) CONTINGENCIES The Company is involved in litigation and may become involved in potential litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the effects, if any, of such litigation are not expected to be material to the financial statements. (12) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On March 6, 1998, the Board of Directors of STFC voted to authorize the officers of STFC to undertake such actions as are necessary to effect the exercise of STFC's option to acquire the Company from Mutual. The effective date of this transaction was July 7, 1998. (13) YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED) The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs having been written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the computer programs used by the Company that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of uncertain duration in the Company's operations, including, among other things, an inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. Based on an analysis of its systems software, management determined that it is required to modify or replace significant portions of the Company's software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. 22 28 Milbank Insurance Company Notes to Financial Statements (continued) (Dollars in thousands) (13) YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED) Management presently believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for the Company. However, if such modifications and conversions are not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could adversely affect the operations of the Company. To address the Year 2000 Issue in a timely and effective manner, management purchased software from a third party vendor to assist in diagnosing and correcting certain of the Company's major policy processing software systems. In addition, management is utilizing the Company's internal resources to reprogram, or replace, and test the balance of its software for necessary Year 2000 modifications. Management presently anticipates completing the Year 2000 modifications on the Company's critical business applications software by October 1998 and its remaining non-critical business applications software during 1999. Management expects to have these changes completed prior to the Year 2000 Issue having an adverse impact on the Company's operations and operating systems. Also, management has initiated communications with all of the Company's significant suppliers and business partners to determine the extent to which the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to such third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 Issues. The Company's estimate of its dates of completion include time associated with the impact of third party Year 2000 Issues, based on presently available information. However, there can be no guarantee that the software systems of other companies on which the Company's computer systems rely will be timely converted and would not have an adverse effect on the Company. The date by which the Company believes it will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's judgment, and information available to it as well as its assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of certain resources, third party modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant software code, and the affect of the Year 2000 Issue on regulators and other government agencies, among others. 23 29 MILBANK INSURANCE COMPANY BALANCE SHEET June 30, 1998 (dollars in thousands) (unaudited) ASSETS Fixed maturities Available for sale, at fair value (amortized cost $99,278) $101,536 Equity securities, available for sale, at fair value (cost $15,937) 26,310 -------- Total investments 127,846 Cash and cash equivalents 8,682 Deferred policy acquisition costs 4,913 Accrued investment income and other assets 1,655 Net prepaid pension expense 2,047 Reinsurance recoverable on losses and loss expenses payable 2,573 Prepaid reinsurance premiums 569 Property and equipment, net 2,496 Goodwill 1,979 -------- Total assets $152,760 ======== LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY Losses and loss expenses payable $ 46,165 Unearned premiums 26,512 Federal income taxes: Current 719 Deferred 3,302 Due to affiliates 558 -------- Total liabilities 77,256 -------- STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY Common stock ($100 par value; authorized, issued and outstanding 25,000 shares) 2,500 Additional paid-in capital 47,588 Accumulated other comprehensive earnings 8,210 Retained earnings 17,206 -------- Stockholder's equity 75,504 -------- Total liabilities and stockholder's equity $152,760 ======== See accompanying notes to the financial statements. 30 MILBANK INSURANCE COMPANY STATEMENTS OF INCOME For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 (dollars in thousands) (unaudited) 1998 1997 ---- ---- Earned premiums $34,486 $32,474 Net investment income 2,752 2,675 Net realized gains on investments 507 868 ------- ------- Total revenues 37,745 36,017 ------- ------- Losses and loss expenses 24,457 21,568 Acquisition and operating expenses 11,201 10,498 Other expense, net 149 147 ------- ------- Total expenses 35,807 32,213 ------- ------- Income before federal income taxes 1,938 3,804 Federal income tax expense 492 902 ------- ------- Net income $ 1,446 $ 2,902 ======= ======= See accompanying notes to the financial statements. 31 MILBANK INSURANCE COMPANY STATEMENTS OF STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY For the six months ended June 30, 1998 (dollars in thousands) (unaudited) 1998 ---- Common stock: Beginning of year $ 2,500 Issuance of common stock -- ------- End of period 2,500 ------- Additional paid in capital: Beginning of year 47,588 Issuance of common stock -- ------- End of period 47,588 ------- Accumulated other comprehensive earnings: Beginning of year 5,931 Unrealized gains (net of reclassificiation adjustment) 2,279 2,279 ------- End of period 8,210 ------- Retained earnings: Beginning of year 15,760 Net income 1,446 1,446 ------- End of period 17,206 ------- ------ Comprehensive earnings $3,725 ====== Total stockholder's equity $75,504 ======= See accompanying notes to the financial statements. 32 MILBANK INSURANCE COMPANY STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS For the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 (dollars in thousands) (unaudited) 1998 1997 ---- ---- Cash flows from operating activities: Net income $ 1,446 $ 2,902 Adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities: Depreciation and amortization, net 475 481 Net realized gains on investments (507) (868) Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Deferred policy acquisition costs (62) (228) Accrued investment income and other assets 1 (91) Net prepaid pension expense (20) (189) Other liabilities and due to/from affiliate, net 1,189 (1,750) Reinsurance recoverable on losses and loss expenses payable and prepaid reinsurance premiums 71 44 Losses and loss expenses payable 878 (329) Unearned premiums 242 451 Federal income taxes (1,708) 902 -------- -------- 2,005 1,325 Cash provided from the change in the reinsurance pool participation percentage 1,649 -- -------- -------- Net cash provided by operating activities 3,654 1,325 -------- -------- Cash flows from investing activities: Purchase of fixed maturities - available for sale (24,408) (21,007) Purchase of equity securities (2,963) (3,768) Maturities, calls and principal reductions of fixed maturities - available for sale 2,289 1,968 Sale of fixed maturities - available for sale 20,975 18,696 Sale of equity securities 2,123 3,692 Net additions of property and equipment -- (74) -------- -------- Net cash used in investing activities (1,984) (493) -------- -------- Net increase in cash and cash equivalents 1,670 832 Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period 7,012 2,977 -------- -------- Cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 8,682 $ 3,809 ======== ======== Supplemental disclosures: Federal income taxes paid $ 2,200 -- ======== ======== See accompanying notes to the financial statements. 33 MILBANK INSURANCE COMPANY Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1998 (unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The financial statements for the interim periods included herein have been prepared by the Company without audit; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1997 included in this filing. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. 2. Comprehensive Earnings As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive earnings and its components; however, the adoption of SFAS No. 130 had no impact on the Company's net earnings or shareholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities, which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' equity, to be included in other comprehensive earnings. The components of comprehensive earnings, net of related tax, for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 is as follows (in thousands): Net earnings $1,446 Unrealized gains, net of tax 2,279 ------ Comprehensive earnings $3,725 ====== The components of accumulated other comprehensive earnings, net of related tax, included in stockholders' equity at June 30, 1998, include only unrealized gains, net of tax. 3. New Accounting Standards In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, but is not required to be applied to interim financial statements in the initial year of adoption. SFAS No. 131 changes the way public companies report segment information in annual financial statements and also requires those companies to report selected segment information in interim financial reports to shareholders. The Company has not yet determined the reporting changes required by SFAS No. 131 to segment information. 34 MILBANK INSURANCE COMPANY Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 1998 (unaudited) 4. Subsequent Event On July 7, 1998, State Auto Financial Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of the Company from State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company (State Auto Mutual). State Auto Mutual is the majority owner of State Auto Financial. The transaction was effected through a merger in which 5,137,000 common shares, without par value, of State Auto Financial were exchanged with State Auto Mutual for all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company is now a wholly owned subsidiary of State Auto Financial. The transaction will be accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. 35 Exhibit B PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the acquisition of Milbank Insurance Company (Milbank) by State Auto Financial Corporation (State Auto Financial) which is being accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. The unaudited pro forma financial statements are based on the historical financial statements and notes thereto (as applicable) of Milbank and the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (as applicable) of State Auto Financial after giving effect to certain adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet assumes the transaction took place on June 30, 1998, and combines Milbank's balance sheet with State Auto Financial's balance sheet as of that date. The unaudited pro forma statements of earnings assumes that the transaction took place on January 1, 1995, and combines Milbank's statements of earnings with State Auto Financial's statements of earnings for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1998. The unaudited pro forma financial statements does not purport to represent what State Auto Financial's financial position or results of operations would actually have been had the transaction in fact occurred on the dates indicated above, nor to project State Auto Financial's financial position or results of operations for any future date or period.
