FIRST AMERICAN CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of First American
Capital Corporation and its Subsidiaries (the "Company") for the three month and
six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are unaudited. However, in the
opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected
therein.
Certain financial information which is normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, but which is not required for interim reporting
purposes, has been omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2002. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period financial
statements to conform with the current period presentation.
2. INVESTMENTS IN RELATED PARTIES
The Company owns a 50% interest in First Computer Services, LLC ("FCS"). FCS
owns the computer hardware and software that operates a Company policy
administration, underwriting, claim processing, and accounting system. The
company uses the equity method to account for this investment, which is owned
jointly by the Company and First Alliance Corporation ("FAC") of Lexington,
Kentucky. At June 30, 2003, the carrying value of the FCS investment was
$76,713. This amount represents total capital contributions of $135,000 reduced
by the Company's $58,287 share of the cumulative net operating losses to date.
Selected financial data for FCS at June 30, 2003 and for the period ended June
30, 2003 is listed below.
<Table>
Total Assets: $ 153,425
Total Liabilities: 0
Total Liabilities and Equity: 153,425
Loss from Operations: (46,073)
</Table>
3. NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Net income per common share for basic and diluted earnings per share is based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each
period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 4,687,078
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding was 5,273,985 for the three and six months ended June
30, 2002.
4. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Current taxes are provided based on estimates of the projected effective annual
tax rate. Deferred taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Effective June 30, 2003, the Company commenced calculating deferred taxes based
on a consolidated income tax return approach. In conjunction therewith, the
Company reduced the tax rate used to calculate deferred taxes from 35% to 20%.
The impact of this change in accounting estimate is reflected in the current
quarter summary of operations. Income tax expense was reduced by $532,546, or
$.11 per share, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003,
resulting in an income tax benefit of $500,668 for the three months ended June
30, 2003 and $356,535 for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 8, 2003, the Company settled a claim that it had breached various
marketing agreements with AF&L, Inc.("AF&L"), a long-term care insurance
company, and certain of its affiliates through the payment to AF&L of $150,000
plus $15,000 in attorney fees. The AF&L initially claimed that its damages were
approximately $560,000. The Company denies any liability in connection with the
claim.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company makes forward-looking statements from time to time and desires to
take advantage of the "safe harbor" which is afforded such statements under the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 when they are accompanied by
meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements.
The statements contained in this report, which are not historical facts, are
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking
statements. Any projections of financial performances or statements concerning
expectations as to future developments should not be construed in any manner as
a guarantee that such results or developments will, in fact, occur. There can be
no assurance that any forward-looking statement will be realized or that actual
results will not be significantly different from that set forth in such
forward-looking statement. In addition to the risks and uncertainties of
ordinary business operations, the forward-looking statements of the Company
referred to above are also subject to risks and uncertainties.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto.
Financial Condition
Significant changes in the condensed consolidated balance sheets from December
31, 2002 to June 30, 2003 are highlighted below.
Total assets increased from $18,746,516 at December 31, 2002 to $20,087,514 at
June 30, 2003. The Company's available-for-sale fixed maturities had a fair
value of $11,587,529 and $10,760,529 at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002,
respectively. This investment portfolio is reported at market value with
unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred taxes, reflected as a
separate component in Shareholders' Equity.
Short-term investments decreased from $416,801 at December 31, 2002 to $90,000
at June 30, 2003. The reduction of short-term investments held by the Company is
attributable to bonds maturing during the six months ended June 30, 2003, and
the proceeds being used to purchase available-for-sale securities. This resulted
in a $326,801 or 78% decrease in short-term investments.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $176,013 from $400,062 at December 31, 2002
to $576,075 at June 30, 2003. Refer to the statement of cash flows for sources
and uses of cash.
Accounts receivable increased 22% from $322,421 at December 31, 2002 to $392,442
at June 30, 2003. The increase is due to a $29,183 increase in amounts due from
agents, a $59,159 increase in due premiums, and a $18,321 decrease in other
receivables. These amounts are expected to be fully recoverable.
Deferred policy acquisition costs, net of amortization, increased 20% from
$3,186,587 at December 31, 2002 to $3,823,447 at June 30, 2003 resulting from
the capitalization of acquisition expenses related to the increasing sales of
life insurance. These acquisition expenses include commissions and other fees
incurred in the first policy year.
Liabilities increased to $9,935,253 at June 30, 2003 from $8,851,559 at December
31, 2002. A significant portion of this increase is due to life insurance
related policy liabilities. Policy reserves established due to the sale of life
insurance increased $477,891 or 21% from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003.
These reserves are actuarially determined based on such factors as insured age,
life expectancy, mortality and interest assumptions. Liabilities for policy
claims are recorded based on reported death.
There was a 34% increase in the amount of $985,900 for annuity contract
liabilities from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003. According to the design of
FLAC's primary life insurance product, first year premium payments are allocated
100% to life insurance and renewal payments are split 50% to life and 50% to
annuity. In the first six months of 2003, annuity contract liabilities increased
as additional policies reached the second policy year.
11
Deposits on pending policy applications decreased from $197,013 at December 31,
2002 to $22,414 at June 30, 2003 because of the timing issues associated with
receipt and application of premium payments.
There was a decrease of $32,536 in commissions, salaries, wages and benefits
payable from the December 31, 2002 balance of $55,230 to the June 30, 2003
balance of $22,694. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in the number of
employees and the timing factors associated with payroll and commission run
dates.
Other liabilities increased $295,596 from $108,075 at December 31, 2002 to
$403,671 at June 30, 2003. The increase in other liabilities is primarily
attributable to a pending legal settlement to AF&L, Inc. in the amount of
$165,000. Additionally, there was an increase of $108,794 in accounts payable.
The increase results from the timing of the receipt of significant invoices for
legal and annual meeting expenses. The significance of the invoices is directly
related to the Company's proxy contest and litigation surrounding such contest.
Federal income taxes payable have decreased 40% from $1,066,390 at December 31,
2002 to $644,343 at June 30, 2003. Federal income taxes payable represent
deferred taxes established based on timing differences between income recognized
for financial statement purposes and taxable income for the Internal Revenue
Service. These deferred taxes are based on the operations of the Company and on
unrealized gains of fixed maturities. The decrease in deferred income taxes
payable is primarily attributable to the reduction in the tax rate used to
calculate deferred taxes under a consolidated tax return approach from 35% to
20%.
Results of Operations
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $2,431,828 as compared
to $1,991,920 for the same period of 2002. The increase is primarily due to a
26% increase in net premium income of $415,934 resulting from the growth in the
policyholder base. The increase in net premium income has been driven by
increased sales of the Company's Final Expense product and renewal year premiums
collected on the Company's FA2000 product. First year premiums collected on the
FA2000 product have decreased from prior year as a result of the disruptive
affect of the Company's 2003 proxy contest on its customers, shareholders and
its marketing agents used to market the Company's FA2000 product.
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 totaled $1,074,262 as compared
to $931,536 for the same period of 2002. The increase is primarily due to a 16%
increase in net premium income of $120,231 resulting from the growth in the
policyholder base. The increase in net premium income has been driven by
increased sales of the Company's Final Expense product and renewal year premiums
collected on the Company's FA2000 product. First year premiums collected on the
FA2000 product have decreased from prior year as a result of the disruptive
affect of the Company's 2003 proxy contest on its customers, shareholders and
its marketing agents used to market the Company's FA2000 product.
Benefits and expenses totaled $2,767,244 and $2,055,669 for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In total, benefits and expenses increased
$711,575, or 35%. Other operating costs accounted for $423,765 of the total
increase resulting from significant increases in legal fees ($194,273), annual
meeting expense ($128,869), audit fees ($27,126) and board fees ($26,425). The
increases in legal fees, annual meeting expense and board fees are directly
related to the Company's 2003 proxy contest and the litigation surrounding such
contest. See "Submission of Matters to a Vote of the Security Holders." The
increase in audit fees is a result of additional work being required due to the
growth of the Company and the audit now being performed on a stand-alone basis.
The increase in other operating costs is also attributable to $165,000 in legal
settlement fees due to AF&L. See "Other Information." These increases were
offset by decreases in agency related expenses ($78,044) and travel, meals and
entertainment expenses ($30,070). The decreases in agency related expenses and
travel, meals and entertainment expenses are the result of management
implementing tighter control of these expense areas during the current quarter.
As a result of the growth in the policyholder base, the increase in policy
reserves was $46,497 greater than the same period in 2002. Commissions increased
$165,059 due to the increase in premium income and increased sales of the Final
Expense product. Commission rates paid on first year premiums received on the
Final Expense product are typically higher than those paid on the other products
being
12
marketed by FLAC. Administration fees decreased $66,142 when compared to the
same period in 2002 due to the termination of the management agreement with
First Alliance Corporation. Death claims for the six months ended June 30, 2003
totaled $133,470 as compared to $1,074 at June 30, 2002. The increase is due to
the maturation of policies. Interest credited on annuities and premium deposits
increased $63,598 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to June 30,
2002. The increase is due to the design of FLAC's primary life insurance product
whereby first year premium payments are allocated 100% to life insurance and
renewal payments are split 50% to life and 50% to annuity. In the first six
months of 2003, interest credited on annuities increased as additional policies
reached the second policy year.
Benefits and expenses totaled $1,496,532 and $1,106,850 for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In total, benefits and expenses
increased $389,682, or 20%. Other operating costs accounted for $351,818 of the
total increase resulting from significant increases in legal fees ($157,961) and
annual meeting expense ($128,869). The increases in legal fees and annual
meeting expense are directly related to the Company's 2003 proxy contest and the
litigation surrounding such contest. The increase in other operating costs is
also attributable to $165,000 in legal settlement fees due to AF&L. These
increases were offset by decreases in agency related expenses ($57,172) and
travel, meals and entertainment expenses ($26,890). The decreases in agency
related expenses and travel, meals and entertainment expenses are the result of
management implementing tighter control of these expense areas during the
current quarter. The increase in policy reserves was $43,855 less than the same
period in 2002. Salaries and wages decreased $48,666 as a result of a decrease
in the number of employees. Commissions increased $57,861 due to the increase in
premium income and increased sales of the Final Expense product. Commission
rates paid on first year premiums received on the Final Expense product are
typically higher than those paid on the other products being marketed by FLAC.
Administration fees decreased $23,293 when compared to the same period in 2002
due to the termination of the management agreement with First Alliance
Corporation. Death claims for the three months ended June 30, 2003 totaled
$64,387 as compared to $1,074 at June 30, 2002. The increase is due to the
maturation of policies. Interest credited on annuities and premium deposits
increased $33,489 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to June 30,
2002. The increase is due to the design of FLAC's primary life insurance product
whereby first year premium payments are allocated 100% to life insurance and
renewal payments are split 50% to life and 50% to annuity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the quarters ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, the Company maintained liquid
assets sufficient to meet operating demands, while continuing to utilize excess
liquidity for fixed maturity investments. Net cash used in operating activities
during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 totaled $356,944 and
$138,348, respectively. The increase in net cash used in operating activities
during the six months ended June 30, 2003 is directly related to the Company's
2003 proxy contest and the litigation surrounding such contest.
FLAC's insurance operations generally receive adequate cash flows from premium
collections and investment income to meet their obligations. Insurance policy
liabilities are primarily long-term and generally are paid from future cash
flows. Cash collected from deposits on annuity contracts and policyholder
premium deposits are recorded as cash flows from financing activities. A
significant portion of the Company's invested assets are readily marketable and
highly liquid.
The Company's former president has made a demand on the Company for the payment
of $250,000 in severance benefits under his employment agreement. The Company
denies the allegation. If this claim is found to be meritorious, the Company's
liquidity could be adversely affected.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously reported, the Company recently settled litigation arising from the
proxy contest for the election of directors at the Company's 2003 annual
meeting.
On May 30, 2003, Rickie D. Meyer and Michael M. Fink, shareholders, directors
and former officers of the Company, initiated a lawsuit in the District Court of
Shawnee County, Kansas (the "District Court") seeking a declaratory judgment
determining that the Company was then engaging in conduct which violated and
interfered with the voting rights of the Company's shareholders in connection
with the Company's 2003 annual meeting. The action sought a temporary
restraining order, temporary injunction and a permanent injunction restraining
the Company from holding its June 2, 2003 annual meeting of shareholders pending
a final disposition of a regulatory application filed by Harold E. Riley, Mark
A. Oliver and Citizens, Inc. ("Citizens") with the Kansas Insurance Department
(the "Department") for permission to change the control of the Company.
Initiation of the lawsuit by Fink and Meyer followed a May 23, 2003
determination by the Department that voting of the proxy cards solicited by the
First American Committee for the Protection of Shareholder Value (the
"Committee"), a group formed by Meyer, Fink and others to nominate and elect an
alternate slate of directors, would violate the Kansas Insurance Holding
Companies Act.
On May 31, 2003, the District Court issued a temporary restraining order (the
"Restraining Order") permitting the Company to hold its annual meeting of
shareholders on June 2, 2003, as scheduled, but prohibiting the Company from
certifying any final results of the election of the board of directors at the
meeting or seating any new members of the board until further order of the
District Court. In the Restraining Order, the District Court directed Meyer and
Fink to deliver to the District Court (and not the annual meeting) any proxies
which they claimed should be eligible to be voted and counted at the annual
meeting, including the white proxy cards solicited by the Committee, to be held
by the District Court until their validity under Kansas insurance laws could be
determined.
The Company subsequently responded by filing its answer in the action generally
denying Meyer's and Fink's allegations and asserting certain counterclaims
against these individuals.
The settlement of the litigation was part of a global settlement contained in a
settlement agreement dated August 8, 2003 (the "Agreement") among the Company,
the Committee, Citizens, Riley, Oliver, Fink and Meyer. Under the settlement,
Fink and Meyer agreed to dismiss the lawsuit and to dissolve the Restraining
Order. Citizens, Riley and Oliver agreed, as part of the settlement, to withdraw
the pending application seeking the Department's approval to a change of control
of the Company. Other material terms of the Agreement include: (i) the Company's
agreement to dismiss its counterclaims in the lawsuit; (ii) the Committee
members' agreement to dissolve the Committee; (iii) Citizens' agreement not to
acquire, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company for a period of
two years; (iv) Riley's and Oliver's agreements to revoke the irrevocable
proxies granted to them by Fink, Meyer and others; and (v) the parties' release
of certain claims against the others. On August 8, 2003, the lawsuit was
dismissed and the Restraining Order was dissolved.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
As previously reported, the Company recently announced that the slate of
nominees proposed by management of the Company to serve as directors of the
Company until its 2004 annual meeting has been certified as the winner in the
proxy contest initiated in April 2003 by a shareholder group financed by
Citizens. Certification of the final results of the June 2, 2003 election had
been delayed due to the Restraining Order. See "Legal Proceedings."
15
As a result of the Restraining Order being dissolved, the Company certified the
results of the election based upon the blue proxy cards delivered to its
election inspector prior to the Annual Meeting and the ballots voted at the
Annual Meeting. Pursuant to the certification, all management's nominees were
elected to the Board of Directors for a term of one year as follows:

The election results, as certified, do not take into account the white proxy
cards solicited by the Committee and delivered to the District Court pursuant to
the Restraining Order. However, a recent court-ordered tabulation of all ballots
and blue and white proxy cards by representatives of the Company and the
Committee demonstrates that the outcome of the election of directors would not
have changed had the white proxy cards been counted in the election.
Based upon this court-ordered tabulation, which is contained in a report filed
with the District Court, the results of the election of directors would have
been as follows had the white proxy cards been counted:
