Stoneville Insurance Company
Notes to Financial Statements
Quarters Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997
1. Basis of Presentation
These interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
accounting principles used in the annual financial statements ended December
31, 1997, and must be read in conjunction with the 1997 statements. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of
financial position and results of operations of the Company for the interim
periods.
2. Plan of Reorganization and Conversion
A Plan and Agreement of Reorganization and Conversion was entered into on
September 11, 1997 by and between Delta Agricultural and Industrial Trust
and Stoneville Insurance Company whereby the Trust transferred all of its
existing assets and liabilities to Stoneville on December 31, 1997 in
exchange for stock in Stoneville. The Trust was then liquidated and
dissolved with the stock of Stoneville distributed to its former members in
accordance with the terms outlined in the Plan.
3. Operations of the Company
The Company was formed to become the successor to the Delta Agricultural and
Industrial Trust, a Mississippi self-funded workers compensation trust. The
Company entered the workers compensation market in the first quarter of 1998
as a reinsurer. The Company currently does not write workers compensation
insurance on a direct basis.
4. Assets Pledged
Of the $1,274,769 in securities available-for-sale, $234,921 is pledged as
collateral for a letter of credit issued to an insurer that the Company
reinsures on a quota share basis. A claim can be made against the letter of
credit if the ceding insurer is unable to pay claims from premiums collected
by it. It is unlikely that there will be such a claim against the letter of
credit.
5. Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") is based upon
case reserve reports received from ceding insurance companies and the
company's own estimates. Loss and LAE reserves also include estimates of
incurred but not reported losses based on past experience modified for
current trends and estimates of expenses for investigating and settling
claims. It is the company's policy to discount workers' compensation claims
on reported and unreported losses to present value using an interest rate of
4.5%. Such discount resulted in a reduction in gross loss reserves of $5,997
as of March 31, 1998. The reserve for losses and LAE is attributable to a
quota share reinsurance arrangement in which the Company participates only as
a reinsurer. Management believes that the reserve for loss and LAE as of
March 31, 1998 is adequate to cover ultimate gross cost of losses and
LAE incurred through March 31, 1998. The reserve is based on estimates of
losses and LAE incurred and, therefore, the amount ultimately paid may be
more or less than such estimates.
6. Operations of Previously Separate Companies
As indicated in the financial statements, the information presented for the
first quarter of 1997 represents the combined information from two previously
separate companies. Presented below are the operating results of each entity
and the intercompany adjustments made as a result of the combination for the
three months ended March 31, 1997.

Stoneville Agricultural
Insurance & Industrial
Company Trust Combined

Total Revenues $ 0 $ 42,002 $ 42,002
Net Income (283) (43,317) (43,600)
Intercompany Interest Expense
Eliminated 283
Intercompany Interest Income
Eliminated 283
7. Other Income
Other Income for the first quarter of 1998 includes $28,393 in fees paid to
the Company for management of certain insurance programs for a ceding
carrier. For the quarter ended March 31,1997, other income represented a
loss on the sale of trading securities.
8. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per common share is based on net income or (loss) and the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during each interim period.
The number of shares used in computing earnings per share is 503,384 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998. No shares were issued until December
31, 1997, therefore no earnings per share amounts are presented for the
quarter ended March 31,1997.
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Financial Condition - March 31, 1998 Compared to December 31, 1997
Total shareholders' equity decreased by $24,005 or 1% from $2,013,537
at December 31, 1997 to 1,989,532 at March 31, 1998. This decrease was caused
by a net loss from operations of $20,123 for the first three months of 1998 and
a decrease in unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale of $3,882.
Total assets decreased by $40,352 or 1.9% at March 31, 1998 compared to
December 31, 1997. Cash and investments decreased a total of $128,300 during
the three months ended March 31, 1998 due primarily to limited revenue
producing activities in the first quarter of 1998 coupled with the payment of
certain costs associated with the Plan of Reorganization and Conversion of the
Delta Agricultural and Industrial Trust that became effective December 31, 1997.
Total liabilities decreased by $16,347 or 1.4% at March 31, 1998
compared to December 31, 1997. This decrease was due primarily to the payment of
liabilities incurred in 1997 associated with the Plan of Reorganization and
Conversion of the Delta Agricultural and Industrial Trust that became effective
December 31, 1997.
Results of Operations - First Quarter 1998 Compared to First Quarter 1997
The Company experienced a net loss of $20,123 during the first quarter
of 1998 compared to a net loss of $43,600 during the first quarter of 1997.
During the first quarter of 1998 the Company entered into a quota share
reinsurance arrangement with another insurance carrier in which the Company
shares in 25% of the income and is obligated to pay 25% of the expenses
associated with the business written within this program. As a result of this
arrangement, the Company's portion of earned premium during the first quarter of
1998 was $112,296 compared to $0 in 1997. Losses and loss adjustment expenses
related to this program were $64,750 during the first three months of 1998
compared to $0 in the same period in 1997. Other expenses associated with this
program totaled $30,320 during the first quarter of 1998 compared to $0 in the
first quarter of 1997.The Company's share of net income associated with this
program during the first quarter of 1998 was $17,226 compared to $0 in the first
quarter of 1997.
Investment income of the Company decreased from $51,678 in the first
quarter of 1997 to $17,563 in the first quarter of 1998. This decrease was a
result of having less cash to invest due to the funding of an Assumption
Reinsurance Agreement in December, 1997 in which the Company was relieved of all
of its insurance liabilities. In conjunction with this agreement, the Company
paid a premium of $1,586,463 to the carrier that assumed the Company's insurance
liabilities. The payment of this premium resulted in less cash being available
for investment during the first quarter of 1998.
The Company realized capital losses in the first quarter of 1997
totaling $9,959. No capital gains or losses were realized during the first
quarter of 1998.
General expenses increased from $84,870 in the first quarter of 1997 to
$108,671 in 1998. This increase is due primarily to the costs involved in
re-entering the commercial insurance market in the first quarter of 1998
including the costs associated with the execution of certain reinsurance
agreements.
The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the quarter ended March
31, 1998 in the amount of $10,366 compared to a tax benefit for the same quarter
in 1997 of $8,551.
