NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------
1. Ownership and Organization
--------------------------
Cumberland Technologies, Inc. ("CTI" or "the Company") f/k/a Cumberland
Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation, was formed on November 18, 1991, to
be a Holding company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimmins Corp. ("KC").
Effective October 1, 1992, KC contributed all of the outstanding common
stock of two of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cumberland Casualty &
Surety Company ("CCS") and Surety Specialists, Inc. ("SSI") to CTI. KC then
distributed to its stockholders CTI's common stock on the basis of one
share of common stock of CTI for each five shares of KC common stock and
Class B common stock owned (the "Distribution".) Effective January 30,
1997, Cumberland Holdings, Inc. changed its name to Cumberland
Technologies, Inc. CTI conducts its business through five wholly-owned
subsidiaries. CCS, a Florida corporation formed in May 1988, provides
underwriting for specialty surety and performance and payment bonds for
contractors. The surety services provided include direct surety and to a
lesser extent, assumed reinsurance. SSI, a Florida corporation formed in
August 1988, is a general lines agency which operates as an independent
agent. Surety Group ("SG"), a Georgia corporation, and Associates
Acquisition Corp. d/b/a Surety Associates ("SA"), a South Carolina
corporation, purchased in February and July 1995, respectively, are general
lines agencies which operate as independent agencies. Qualex Consulting
Group, Inc. ("Qualex"), a Florida corporation formed in November 1994,
provides claim and contracting consulting services.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTI and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future
quarters or the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information,
refer to consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2002, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2003.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
------------------------------------------------------
Investments
-----------
The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities."
Debt securities that the Company has both the positive intent and ability
to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" securities and are
reported at amortized cost. The amortized cost of debt securities is
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts from the
date of purchase to maturity. Such amortization and accretion, which is
calculated under the interest method, is included in investment income.
Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as
"held-to-maturity" or "trading" are classified as "available-for-sale."
Available-for-sale securities are reported at estimated fair value, with
the unrealized gains and losses, net of any related income taxes, reported
as a separate component of equity and of other comprehensive income (loss).
Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary are included in income. The cost of securities sold is
based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on
securities are included in investment income.
Short-term investments primarily include certificates of deposit having
maturities of more than three months when purchased. These investments are
reported at cost, which approximates fair value.
Investments in which the Company has a 20% - 50% ownership interest are
accounted for using the equity method.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments having a maturity of
twelve months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
---------------------------------
To the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, the costs of
acquiring new surety business, principally commissions, are deferred and
amortized in a manner which charges each year's operations in direct
proportion to the premium revenue recognized.
Intangibles
-----------
Intangible assets are stated at cost and principally represent purchased
customer accounts and the excess of costs over the fair value of
identifiable net assets acquired ("Goodwill").
CUMBERLAND TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
------------------------------------------------------
Intangibles (continued)
-----------------------
Purchased customer accounts, noncompete agreements, and purchased contract
agreements are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the related
estimated lives and contract periods, which range from 3 to 15 years.
Purchased customer accounts are records and files obtained from acquired
businesses that contain information on insurance policies and the related
insured parties that is essential to policy renewals.
In accordance with SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", the
Company discontinued the amortization of goodwill effective January 1,
2002. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, goodwill, net of accumulated
amortization, was $152,780.
In accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", which became effective for the Company as of January 1,
2002, the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived
assets to determine if impairment has occurred. Impairment losses, if any,
are recorded in the period identified. Significant judgment is required to
determine whether or not impairment has occurred. The determination is made
by evaluating expected future undiscounted cash flows or the anticipated
recoverability of costs incurred and, if necessary, determining the amount
of the loss, if any, by evaluating the fair value of the assets.
At December 31, 2001, Goodwill and other long-lived assets that were
capitalized in conjunction with the purchase of Associates Acquisition
Corp., d/b/a Surety Associates were deemed impaired as such an impairment
charge of $437,418 was recorded in the consolidated statement of
operations.
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses
---------------------------------
The liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses including incurred but
not reported losses is based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling the
claim using traditional paid and incurred loss development methods. These
estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and
frequency. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates,
management believes that the liabilities for loss and loss adjustment
expenses are adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted
as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known. Such
adjustments are included in current operations. A liability for all costs
expected to be incurred in connection with the settlement of unpaid loss
and loss adjustment expenses is accrued when the related liability for
unpaid losses is accrued. Loss adjustment expenses include costs associated
directly with specific claims paid or in the process of settlement, such as
legal and adjusters' fees. Loss adjustment expenses also include other
costs that cannot be associated with specific claims but are related to
losses paid or in the process of settlement, such as internal costs of the
claims function.

MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
------------------------------------------------------
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses (continued)
---------------------------------------------
The Company does not discount its reserves for losses and loss adjustment
expenses. The Company writes primarily surety contracts which are of short
duration.
The Company does not consider investment income in determining if a premium
deficiency relating to short duration contracts exists.
Derivative Instruments
----------------------
The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" effective January 1, 2001. The Company identified one
product that meets the definition of a derivative instrument as defined in
SFAS No. 133. The policy is issued to registered investment advisors
("Advisors"), and insures losses suffered by the Advisors as a result of
market declines on covered investment principal, provided that the Advisors
have followed the investment guidelines required by the policy. The
identified derivative was formerly accounted for as an insurance contract
within the policy liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses account
in the consolidated balance sheet for periods prior to January 1, 2001 and
on January 1, 2001 there was no cumulative effect of change in accounting
principal due to the fact that the policy liability recorded for this
policy at December 31, 2000 approximated the fair value of the derivative
instrument at January 1, 2001. The fair value of the derivative instrument
at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 is $4,381,888 and $4,346,285,
respectively. At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 the fair value of the
derivative instrument was determined by using a financial model that
incorporates market data and other assumptions. Due to the volatility in
the marketplace, the Company suspended marketing of this product effective
September 2001. The Company is not involved in any hedging activities.
Unearned Premiums
-----------------
Unearned premiums are deferred and amortized on a pro-rata basis.
Reinsurance
-----------
The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance and participates in various
pools. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect premiums,
benefits and settlement expenses, and deferred policy acquisition costs,
net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers for unpaid
losses are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability
associated with the reinsured policies.

--------------------------
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
------------------------------------------------------
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
Premiums earned on direct insurance and assumed reinsurance are recognized
on a pro-rata basis over the period of risk. Commission income, which is
earned on ceded premiums and premiums written for other third party
insurance carriers, is recognized at the effective date of the bonds
issued. Other income, consisting primarily of consulting fees, is
recognized when the negotiated services are provided.
Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
The Company has adopted only the pro forma disclosure provisions of
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No.
123"). SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require companies to record at
fair value compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans.
The Company accounts for equity-based compensation arrangements in
accordance with the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and related interpretations. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the
market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the
stock option or award on the measurement date, generally the date of grant.
Income Taxes
------------
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The Company has recorded a deferred income tax asset of $472,100 and
$401,738 at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. Realization
of the asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future
years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more
likely than not that all of the deferred income tax asset will be realized.
The Company files a consolidated tax return that includes all of its
subsidiaries.

MARCH 31, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
------------------------------------------------------
Earnings Per Share
------------------
The Company computes and discloses earnings (loss) per share in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. The 39,500 and 54,700 outstanding stock options at
March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, had an immaterial effect on the
results of the calculations of earnings per share.
Business Concentration
----------------------
The majority of the Company's business relates to surety bonds, which
provide performance and payment bonds for individual and commercial
contractors, and market performance products, which provide specific
liability coverage for professional services rendered by registered
investment advisors. Accordingly, the occurrence of adverse economic
conditions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
although for surety bonds, no such conditions have been encountered in the
Company's past experience. For surety bonding, the Company requires
collateral from surety bond customers if the customer fails to meet between
80 percent to 99 percent of the Company's underwriting criteria. Customers
that fail to meet at least 80 percent of the requirements are denied surety
bonding.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more
information becomes known which would affect the amounts reported and
disclosed herein.
New Accounting Standards
------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") recently issued the
following SFAS's, and the Company is currently determining the impact that
these standards will have on its financial statements.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations". SFAS 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a
liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it
occurred. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2002.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
------------------------------------------------------
New Accounting Standards (continued)
------------------------------------
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting
and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and
nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS No. 146 requires costs associated
with exit or disposal activities to be recognized when the costs are
incurred, rather than at a date of commitment to an exit or disposal.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain amounts in the 2002 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2003 consolidated financial statement
presentation.
3. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------
In 1988, CCS issued a surplus debenture to KC in exchange for $3,000,000
which bore interest at 10 percent per annum. Interest and principal
payments were subject to approval by the Florida Department of Insurance.
On April 1, 1997, CTI forgave $375,000 of its $3,000,000 surplus debenture
due to CCS. As a result, CCS increased paid in capital by $375,000. On June
30, 1999, CTI forgave $576,266 of its $2,625,000 surplus debenture due from
CCS. As a result, CCS increased paid-in capital to $1,000,000. At January
1, 2003, CTI forgave the $2,048,734 balance of the surplus note increasing
CCS's paid in capital to $3,048,734.
On March 8, 2002, Cumberland purchased a residential mortgage from Francis
M. Williams. Mr. Williams is Chairman of the Board of the Company. The
principal balance on the loan was $36,906. Interest accrued through the
date of acquisition was $129 at an annual interest rate of 7.5%. No prior
liens exist related to taxes, assessments or other similar charges.
4. Investments

5. Income Taxes
------------
The Company has recorded a deferred income tax asset of $472,100 and
$401,738 at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

6. Debt
----
Affiliate
---------
Effective November 10, 1998, CTI entered into a $1,000,000 convertible term
note agreement with TransCor Waste Services, Inc., a subsidiary of KC. The
note is due November 10, 2003 and bears interest equal to one half of one
percent per annum in excess of the stated interest rate established by the
Bank of America. On December 26, 2001, the Company made a principal note
payment of $395,495 reducing the outstanding balance on the note to
$604,055. The lender may convert the principal amount of the note or a
portion thereof into common stock at $3.00 per share subsequent to a
six-month anniversary and prior to the maturity date.
Nonaffiliate
------------
In connection with the acquisition of certain agencies during 1995, the
Company entered into two notes payable with the agencies' previous owners.
One note was due March 1, 2002 bearing interest at 8% through February 28,
2001 and 10% thereafter. Principal payments of $125,000 are due annually
beginning March 1, 2000. On March 1, 2002, a final payment of $125,000 was
made on the note due March 1, 2002. The other note is due June 30, 2010 and
bears interest at 9%. Principal payments of $40,000 were due annually for
three years beginning January 5, 1996. Payments of $11,104 including
principal and interest were paid monthly from April 1, 1997 through June
30, 2001. On December 3, 2001, SA reached an agreement with the holder on
this note payable, whereby the terms of the note were modified, such that
the effective interest rate was 6%, and principal payments became payable
at $6,000 per month.
7. Reinsurance
-----------
The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance and participates in various
pools. The financial statements reflect premiums, benefits and settlement
expenses, and deferred policy acquisition costs, net of reinsurance ceded.
Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent
with the future policy benefit and claim liability associated with the
reinsured policies.
Accounts recoverable from reinsurers for unpaid losses are presented as an
asset in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

8. Statutory Accounting Practices
------------------------------
CCS is domiciled in Florida and prepares its statutory-basis financial
statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted
by the Florida Insurance Department. "Prescribed" statutory accounting
practices include state laws, regulations, and general administrative
rules, as well as a variety of publications of the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). "Permitted" statutory accounting
practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such
practices may differ from state to state, may differ from company to
company within a state, and may change in the future. In 1998, the NAIC
adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles
("Codification") for insurance companies. Codification, which is intended
to standardize regulatory accounting and reporting for the insurance
industry, is effective January 1, 2001. The Company implemented
codification at January 1, 2001. On a statutory accounting basis, CCS
reported losses net of income taxes of ($379,485) for the three months
ended March 31, 2003. Statutory surplus (shareholders' equity) of these
operations was $4,355,414 and $4,734,899 as of March 31, 2003 and December
31, 2002, respectively.
9. Comprehensive Loss
------------------
Comprehensive loss is defined as any change in equity from transactions and
other events originating from nonowner sources. The Company's comprehensive
income is comprised of reported net loss and changes in the unrealized
appreciation of available-for-sale securities. The following summarizes the
components of comprehensive loss:

historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on
certain assumptions and analysis made by the Company in light of its experience
and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments as well as factors it believes are appropriate in the
circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform
with the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ significantly and
materially from past results and from the Company's expectations. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in the market value
of the Company's investments, increases in the Company's liability under
derivative securities, losses on claims in excess of the Company's liability for
loss and loss adjustment expenses, competition in the insurance industry,
inability to recover from reinsurers for unpaid losses, unanticipated losses
from litigation, the effects of new or existing government regulations, and the
impact of new accounting pronouncements. All of the forward-looking statements
made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there
can be no assurance that the actual results or development anticipated by the
Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized that they will have
the expected consequences to or effects on the Company or its business or
operations.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- ------ FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
The capacity of a surety company to underwrite insurance and reinsurance is
based on maintaining liquidity and capital resources sufficient to pay claims
and expenses as they become due. Based on standards established by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") and promulgated by the Florida
Department of Financial Services, the Company is permitted to write net premiums
up to an amount equal to three times its statutory surplus, or approximately
$14,200,000 at December 31, 2003. Statutory guidelines impose an additional
limitation on increasing net written premiums to no more than 33% of prior
year's net written premiums. Under these guidelines, the Company could increase
net written premiums by approximately $4,114,000 in the year 2003 subject to
risk-based capital limitations.
At March 31, 2003, $217,133 of the Company's total assets calculated based
on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America were
comprised as follows: 30 percent in cash and investments (including accrued
investment income), 53 percent in receivables and reinsurance recoverables, 6
percent in income tax recoverable and deferred income tax asset, 8 percent in
intangibles and deferred policy acquisition costs and 3 percent in other assets.
The Company follows investment guidelines that are intended to provide an
acceptable return on investment while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet
its obligations.
Net cash used in operating activities was $2,080,368 and $617,515 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net cash used in
operating activities for the period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 is primarily
attributed to a decrease in policy liabilities and accruals, taxes recoverable
and is a result of claim payments.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $1,505,109 and
($1,911,583) for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Investing activities consist of purchases, sales, and maturities of investments.
Net cash used in financing activities was $18,000 and $125,033 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Financing activities
consist primarily of payments on long-term debt.
It is anticipated that the liquidity requirements of the Company will be
met primarily by funds generated from operations. The principal sources of
operating cash flows are premiums, investment income, and sales and maturities
of investments. The Company believes that total invested assets, including cash
and short-term investments, are sufficient in the aggregate and have suitably
scheduled maturities to satisfy all policy claims and other operating
liabilities.
As of March 31, 2003, the Company believes that it has sufficient capital
resources to fund its present capital requirements.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- ------ FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------------
Management of the Company is considering a possible "going private"
transaction, which might involve a reverse stock split or a stock repurchase
program. Any such transaction would be reviewed and approved by the Board of
Directors of the Company prior to completion, and may require shareholder
approval. The actual amount of funds needed to implement a transaction is not
known, but management believes that it would not have a material impact on the
financial condition of the Company. However, any such transaction may have the
effect of enabling the Company to terminate the registration of its common
stock, and its reporting obligations, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the
Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and 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. These estimates and assumptions are based
on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most
critical since these policies require significant judgment or involve complex
estimations that are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition and operating results:
Asset Impairment
----------------
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including certain identifiable
intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon determination
that the carrying value of the asset is impaired, the Company would record an
impairment charge or loss. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor
operating results of the underlying investment could result in losses or an
inability to recover the carrying value of the investment that may not be
reflected therein; and therefore, might require the Company to record an
impairment charge in the future.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- ------ FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies (continued)
----------------------------------------
Derivatives
-----------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No.133") is effective for
all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts that were not formerly
considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. The Company identified one
product that meets the definition of a derivative instrument as defined in SFAS
No. 133. The identified derivative was formerly accounted for as an insurance
contract within the policy liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses
account in the consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2003 and December 31,
2002 the fair value of the derivative instrument has been determined by using a
financial model that incorporates market data and other assumptions. Due to the
volatility in the marketplace, the Company has suspended marketing of this
product effective September 2001.
Reserves for Unpaid Losses and Adjustment Expenses
--------------------------------------------------
The liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses including incurred but
not reported losses is based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling the
claim using traditional paid and incurred loss development methods. These
estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency.
Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management
believes that the liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses are
adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as
experience develops or new information becomes known. Such adjustments are
included in current operations. A liability for all costs expected to be
incurred in connection with the settlement of unpaid loss and loss adjustment
expenses is accrued. Loss adjustment expenses include costs associated directly
with specific claims paid or in the process of settlement, such as legal and
adjusters' fees. Loss adjustment expenses also include other costs that cannot
be associated with specific claims but are related to losses paid or in the
process of settlement, such as internal costs of the claims function. The
Company does not discount its liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses.
The Company writes primarily surety contracts which are of short duration. The
Company does not consider investment income in determining if a premium
deficiency relating to short duration contracts exists.
Reinsurance
-----------
The Company assumes and cedes insurance with other insurers and reinsurers
to limit maximum loss, provide greater diversification of risk and minimize
exposure on larger risks. Premiums and loss and loss adjustment expenses that
are ceded under reinsurance arrangements reduce the respective revenues and
expenses. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner
consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy and are
reported as reinsurance recoverable.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
- ------ FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies (continued)
----------------------------------------
Income Taxes
------------
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under the
liability method, deferred income taxes are established for the future tax
effects of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases
of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates. Such temporary
differences primarily relate to certain insurance liabilities, deferred policy
acquisition costs and intangible assets. The effect on deferred income taxes of
a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment. A
valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets is established when
deemed appropriate.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002
--------------------------------------------------------
Direct, assumed and ceded premiums for the first quarter of 2003 decreased
$848,853 or 28% when compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease is
attributed to the Company's marketing decision to write small to medium size
bonds and the discontinuance of assuming premiums under a former reinsurance
program. Net premium income for the period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, was
$2,236,308 and $3,085,161, respectively.
Net investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased
by $41,560 when compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease is attributed
to a decrease in bond holdings and an overall decrease in interest rates earned
on the bond and money market portfolio. Other income decreased by $44,688 or 7%
when compared to the same period of 2002 and is attributed to the Company's
claims consulting subsidiary loss of revenue ($21,278), and subsidiary agencies
loss of commission income ($20,410).
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, loss and loss adjustment
expenses decreased by $695,108 when compared to the same period in 2002. The
decrease is attributed to a decline in incurred losses and loss adjustment
expenses on direct and assumed business.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, derivative expense increased
by $220,901 when compared to the same period in 2002. The change is attributed
to an increase in the liability for derivative valuation as a result of market
value fluctuations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, amortization of deferred
policy acquisition costs was $630,621 as compared to $1,010,653 for the same
period in 2002. The amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs is 28% and
33% of earned premiums for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively.
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003 when compared
to the same period in 2002 decreased by $221,411 or 15%. The decrease is
attributed to downsizing operations based on the revised marketing plan.
The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003
is due to a decrease in the interest rate on the long-term debt.
Income taxes in the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were
calculated using an effective rate of 37.6% and 34%, respectively.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- ------ ----------------------------------------------------------
The Company had approximately $7.8 million of investments as of March 31,
2003. These investments largely consist of government obligations and have
either variable rates of interest or stated interest rates ranging from 3.5% to
8.5%. The Company's investments are exposed to certain market risks inherent
with such assets. The risk of defaults is mitigated by the Company's policy of
investing in securities with high credit ratings and investing through major
financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Company has notes payable
of approximately $1.1 million at an average interest rate of 8.6%.
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133,
as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts
that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a
derivative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. The
Company identified one product that meets the definition of a derivative
instrument as defined in SFAS No. 133. The policy is issued to registered
investment advisors ("Advisors"), and insures losses suffered by the Advisors as
a result of market declines on covered investment principal, provided that the
Advisors have followed the investment guidelines required by the policy. The
identified derivative was formerly accounted for as an insurance contract within
the policy liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses account in the
consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2001. There was no cumulative
effect of change in accounting principal due to the fact that the policy
liability recorded for this policy at December 31, 2000 approximated the fair
value of the derivative instrument at January 1, 2001. The fair value of the
derivative instrument at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 is $4,381,888 and
$4,346,285, respectively. The Company is not involved in any hedging activities.
At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 the fair value of the derivative
instrument has been determined by using a financial model that incorporates
market data and other assumptions. Due to the volatility in the marketplace, the
Company suspended marketing of this product effective September 2001. The value
of the derivative liability increases in proportion to the volatility in the
marketplace.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
- ------ -----------------------
With the participation of management, the Company's chief executive officer
