PART I

     
ITEM 1.   Business.
Midland hereby incorporates by reference the inside cover and pages 2 through 13, 16 through 27 and 41 and 42 (Note 17) of its 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders. Midland was incorporated in Ohio in 1968 with its original predecessor company dating back to 1938. The number of persons employed by Midland was 1,011 at December 31, 2002.
     
    Property and Casualty Loss Reserves
Midland’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.
     
    Midland establishes reserves for losses that have been reported and certain legal expenses on the “case basis” method. Claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) and other adjustment expenses are estimated using statistical procedures. Salvage and subrogation recoveries are accrued using the “case basis” method for large claims and statistical procedures for smaller claims.
     
    Midland’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 property and casualty divisions’ 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.

 


Table of Contents

     
  Management reviews the 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. Management 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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.
     
    Changes in Loss and LAE Reserves:
Midland’s table outlining changes in loss and LAE expenses was set forth in footnote 11 on page 38 of the 2002 Annual Report and is hereby incorporated by reference herein. This table is further discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 24 and 25 of the 2002 Annual Report and is incorporated by reference herein.
     
    Analysis of Loss and LAE Reserve Development
The following table presents the development of Midland’s property and casualty insurance subsidiaries estimated liability for the ten years prior to 2002. 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.
     
    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 developed with respect to the previously recorded liability for all years as of the end of 2002. For example, the 1994 reserve of $37,481,000 has been re-estimated as of year-end 2002 to be $31,228,000, indicating a redundancy of $6,253,000.
     
    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, 2002, the Company had paid $31,014,000 of the currently estimated $31,228,000 of losses and LAE that had been incurred as of the end of 1994; thus an estimated $214,000 of losses incurred as of the end of 1994 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 1994 column include amounts related to 1994 and all prior years.
     
    The reserve development is unfavorable for 1995 and 1996 due to unfavorable loss development in our commercial liability line products. Midland decided to exit the commercial liability line in September 2001.

  Seasonality and Reinsurance
Incurred losses, and thus the results of operations, for Midland are dependent in some respect on seasonal weather patterns. In addition, during 2002, growth in our motorcycle product was more significant in respect to the growth in our premium volume, as motorcycle gross written premium increased 52.5% from 2001 levels to $60.4 million. The growth in motorcycle increases the seasonality of our product mix as non-catastrophe losses are expected to be higher in the second and third quarters due to more frequent use of motorcycles.
     
    Midland attempts to mitigate its risk to such unpredictable weather patterns by diversifying the geographic areas covered and by reinsuring certain levels of risk with other insurance companies. By reinsuring certain levels and types of insurable risk with other insurance companies, Midland limits its exposure to losses to that portion of the insurable risk it retains. However, failure of the reinsurer to honor their obligation could result in losses to Midland, as the reinsurance contracts do not relieve Midland of its obligations to policyholders. Midland continually evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers to minimize its exposure to losses from reinsurer insolvencies and does not believe it holds any significant concentration of credit risk arising from any single reinsurer or any similar geographic region, activity or economic characteristic associated with its reinsurers. Midland fully expects its reinsurers to honor their obligations. As of December 31, 2002 Midland is owed $4.9 million from reinsurers for claims that have been paid and for which a contractual obligation to collect from a reinsurer exists. Midland has not experienced any significant uncollectible reinsurance amounts or coverage disputes with its reinsurers historically and the composition of its reinsurers has not changed significantly in recent years.
     
    Significant Customer
As indicated in Industry Segments, Note 17 to Midland’s 2002 consolidated financial statements, in 2002 and 2001, revenues (earned premiums net of amounts ultimately ceded to reinsurers) received for sales through one customer, Conseco Agency, Inc., amounted to $78,643,000 and $80,674,000, respectively. The receivable balance for American Modern Insurance Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Midland, from its largest customer, Conseco Agency, Inc., decreased from $20.7 million as of December 31, 2001 to $11.1 million as of December 31, 2002. Conseco Agency filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on January 31, 2003, following the Chapter 11 filing of its’ parent company on December 18, 2002. The Conseco Agency receivable is current at December 31, 2002. While we anticipate collection of the entire amount that is owed, it is possible that American Modern might not collect the full amount. If that happened, it could negatively impact our financial condition and results.
     
    American Modern’s receivable balance from Conseco Agency is secured by a pledge of the Agency’s expirations and renewals on American Modern’s in-force policies written through Conseco Agency. On February 3, 2003, the bankruptcy judge in the Conseco Agency Chapter 11 proceedings approved a motion filed by Conseco Agency seeking authority to continue doing business with American Modern, and with Conseco’s other insurance partners, on a business as usual basis.
     
    Various suitors have expressed an interest in Conseco. As of February 28, 2003, the most likely scenarios involved either a sale of Conseco Agency as a going concern under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or a recapitalization of the Agency’s parent under a Plan of Reorganization. Since we do not yet know what will transpire, we cannot be certain of the future course of American Modern’s business relationship with Conseco Agency. However, American Modern’s management believes that the company is well positioned to continue its business relationship with Conseco Agency, and/or its successors, regardless of what may happen in Conseco’s Chapter 11 proceedings.

  Controls and Procedures.
As of a date within 90 days of the date of this report (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
     
    Additionally, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer determined, as of the evaluation date, that there were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
