the operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; 3) changes in the
business tactics or strategies of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
4) acquisition(s) of assets or of new or complementary operations, or

materially affect the operations of the Company and/or its subsidiaries.
PART I
ITEM 1. Business.
Incorporated by reference from the inside cover and pages 2 through 17
and 37 and 38 (Note 17) of the Registrant's 1999 Annual Report to
Shareholders. The number of persons employed by the Registrant was
approximately 980 at December 31, 1999.
Property and Casualty Loss Reserves
The Company's consolidated financial statements include the estimated
liability (reserves) for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses
(LAE) of its property and casualty insurance subsidiaries. The
liability is presented net of amounts recoverable from salvage and
subrogation and includes amounts recoverable from reinsurance for which
receivables are recognized.
The Company establishes reserves for losses that have been reported to
the Company and certain legal expenses on the "case basis" method. The
Company estimates claims incurred but not reported ("IBNR") and other
adjustment expenses using statistical procedures. The Company accrues
salvage and subrogation recoveries using the "case basis" method for
large claims and statistical procedures for smaller claims.
The Company's objective is to set reserves that are adequate; that is,
the amounts originally recorded as reserves should at least equal the
amounts ultimately expected to be required to settle losses. The
Company's reserves aggregate its best estimates of the total ultimate
cost of claims that have been incurred but have not yet been paid. The
estimates are based on past claims experience and reflect current claims
trends as well as social, legal and economic conditions, including
inflation. The reserves are not discounted.
The Company reviews its loss and loss adjustment expense reserve
development on a regular basis to determine whether the reserving
assumptions and methods are appropriate. Reserves initially determined
are compared to the amounts ultimately paid. The Company regularly
makes statistical estimates of the projected amounts necessary to settle
outstanding claims, compares these estimates to the recorded reserves
and adjusts the reserves as necessary. The adjustments are reflected in
current operations.
The principle reason for differences between the loss and LAE liability
reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and
that reported in the annual statements filed with state insurance
departments in accordance with statutory accounting practices ("SAP")
relates to the reporting of reinsurance recoverables as receivables for
GAAP purposes and as a reduction in reserves for SAP purposes.
The following table provides an analysis of changes in loss and LAE
reserves for 1999, 1998 and 1997 (net of reinsurance amounts) for the
Company. Based on the information available during and at the end of
1999 and 1998, operations were credited $10,178,000 in 1999 and
$2,120,000 in 1998, respectively, as a result of a decrease in the
estimated amounts needed to settle prior years' claims. Based on
information available during and at the end of 1997, operations were
charged $5,230,000 in 1997 as a result of increases in such estimates.
Such reserve adjustments, which affected reported results of current
operations during each of the years, resulted from developed losses from
prior years being different than were anticipated when the liability for
losses and loss adjustment expense were originally estimated. These
development trends have been considered in establishing the current year
liabilities.

===================================
Analysis of Loss and LAE Reserve Development
The next table presents the development of the estimated liability for
the ten years prior to 1999. The top line of the table illustrates the
estimated liability for unpaid losses and LAE recorded at the balance
sheet date at the end of each of the indicated years. This liability
represents the estimated amount of losses and LAE for claims arising in
all prior years that were unpaid at the balance sheet date, including
losses that had been incurred but not yet reported to the Company.
The upper portion of the table shows the re-estimated amount of the
previously recorded liability based on experience as of the end of each
succeeding year. The estimate was increased or decreased as more
information became known about the frequency and severity of claims for
individual years. Conditions and trends that have affected development
of the liability in the past may not necessarily occur in the future.
Accordingly, it may not be appropriate to extrapolate future
redundancies or deficiencies based on this table.
The table shows the cumulative redundancy (deficiency) developed with
respect to the previously recorded liability for all years as of the
end of 1999. For example, the Company's 1992 reserve of $20,405,000 has
been re-estimated as of year-end 1999 to be $16,441,000, indicating a
redundancy of $3,964,000.
The lower section of the table shows the cumulative amount paid with
respect to the previously recorded liability as of the end of each
succeeding year. For example, as of December 31, 1999, the Company had
paid $16,435,000 of the currently estimated $16,441,000 of losses and
LAE that had been incurred as of the end of 1992; thus an estimated
$6,000 of losses incurred as of the end of 1992 remain unpaid as of the
current financial statement date.
In using this information, it should be noted that this table does not
present accident or policy year development data which readers may be
more accustomed to analyzing. Each amount in each column includes
amounts applicable to the year over the column and all prior years. For
example, the amounts included in the 1993 column include amounts related
to 1993 and all prior years.
The Company's reserve development is unfavorable for 1995 and 1996 due
to the Company's expansion into certain areas of commercial lines
insurance. However, reserve development is favorable for 1997 and 1998
due to a reduction in the aforementioned commercial lines business
combined with an overall strengthening of reserves.

=============================================================
Reinsurance
The Company reinsures certain levels of risk with other insurance
companies and cedes varying portions of its written premiums to such
reinsurers. In addition, the Company pays a percentage of earned
premiums to reinsurers in return for coverage against catastrophic
losses. To the Company's knowledge, none of its reinsurers are
experiencing financial difficulties. Furthermore, the Company monitors
concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions,
activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize
its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. The
composition of its reinsurers has not changed significantly in recent
years. The Company has not experienced any uncollectible reinsurance
amounts or coverage disputes with its reinsurers in over ten years. For
1999, the Company decided to cede less business to it reinsurers than in
prior years. This was significantly accomplished by a change in a quota
share reinsurance contract for manufacturing housing insurance. The
related terms were changed, applicable with business written in 1999,
from 12.5% of written premium with a maximum of $25 million to 8.0% with
the same maximum. At year end, the Company terminated the quota share
reinsurance agreement.
Significant Customer
As indicated in Note 17 to the Company's 1999 consolidated financial
statements, in 1999 and 1998, respectively, revenues (including amounts
that are ultimately ceded to reinsurers) from one customer amounted to
$64,621,000 and $61,865,000. That customer is Conseco Inc. which merged
with Greentree Financial Corporation during 1999.
ITEM 2. Properties.
The Company owns its 275,000 square foot principal offices located in
Amelia, Ohio. The Company's insurance subsidiaries lease office space
in Montgomery, Alabama, St. Louis, Missouri, Auburn Hills, Michigan and
Grand Rapids, Michigan. The Company's transportation subsidiaries lease
offices in Metairie, Louisiana.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings.
Reference is made to Item 3 of the December 31, 1995 Registrant's Form
10-K concerning criminal litigation against M/G Transport Services, Inc.
(M/G), a subsidiary of Registrant. On April 22, 1999, a three judge
panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion reversing
the earlier ruling of the trial court that dismissed six of the eight
counts against M/G and several counts against individual defendants
formerly employed by M/G. All of the verdicts against M/G on the six
counts that had been dismissed by the trial court were reinstated by
the Court of Appeals. On January 20, 2000, M/G was sentenced to a fine
of $150,000 and two years probation concerning the 6 reinstated counts.
The January 20, 2000 sentencing concluded the case against M/G.
Registrant had established and maintained adequate accruals relating to
the fines connected with the M/G litigation and such fines did not have
a material adverse effect on the financial condition or the results of
Registrant's operations.
