JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION ------------------------------ The accompanying unaudited financial statements are of Jacobs Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "JFG"). These financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition for the periods presented have been included. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that can be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2011. For further information, refer to the Company's audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Item 8. of Form 10-K filed on September 14, 2010. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts have been reclassified in the presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of November 30, 2009 to be consistent with the presentation in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of November 30, 2010. This reclassification had no impact on previously reported net income, cash flow from operations or changes in shareholder equity. LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern. Going concern contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. The Company incurred operating losses (after accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock, including accrued dividends) of approximately $2,713,000 and $3,058,000 for the years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009 and has incurred losses of approximately $609,000 and $1,183,000 for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2010. Losses are expected to continue until the Company's insurance company subsidiary, First Surety Corporation ("FSC") develops a more substantial book of business. While improvement is anticipated as the business plan is implemented, restrictions on the use of FSC's assets (See Management's Discussion and Analysis), the Company's significant deficiency in working capital and stockholders' equity raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Expansion of FSC's business to other states is a key component of fully implementing the Company's business plan. Regulatory approval and licensing is required for each state in which FSC seeks to conduct business. In fiscal 2009, the Company was able to increase the capital of FSC, reactivate FSC's insurance license in Ohio and obtain authority to issue surety bonds in that state. However, management has found that entry into other states (as a surety) has been difficult without the benefit of more substantial capital and reserves due to FSC's status as a new entry into this market and the current financial condition of the parent company. This is the case notwithstanding the reinsurance agreement entered into by FSC with Lloyd's of London in April 2009, and the resulting increase in bonding capacity. Management believes that if FSC's capital and surplus reserves were significantly more substantial and the financial condition of the Company was stabilized, entry into other states would be less challenging. Accordingly, management continues to pursue avenues that can provide additional capital to increase the capacity of its insurance subsidiary and to fund continuing operations as the business is being fully F-7
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) developed. In addition, as an alternative means of addressing access to markets, management is seeking to establish a relationship with any one of several possible sureties that are licensed in those states in addition to West Virginia and Ohio that comprise significant markets for the bonding programs of FSC and could issue surety bonds that are underwritten and reinsured by FSC. Under such a "fronting" arrangement, the need for additional capital at FSC to facilitate entry to other state markets would become secondary, since the payment of a fronting fee to the insurance company with active licenses would provide access to the state market without formal entry. Beginning in fiscal 2008 and completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company obtained two rounds of bridge financing totaling an aggregate of $3,500,000. The financing paid expenses of operations, fees and expenses incurred in connection with a larger permanent financing which was ultimately cancelled and, in addition, to increase the capital surplus of FSC, making possible the reactivation of FSC's surety license in the state of Ohio. The terms of the bridge-financing arrangement provided for payment in full upon consummation by the Company of a qualified equity offering providing net proceeds of at least $15 million on or before September 10, 2013; and because such a qualified equity offering was not consummated by September 10, 2008, accrued interest-to-date was payable, and quarterly installments of principal and interest became payable over five years commencing in December 2008. The interest rates on such notes were fixed at 10.00%. Payments due December 2008 and March 2009 were not made by the Company as scheduled but a forbearance agreement was subsequently entered into with the bridge lenders on June 5, 2009, modifying payment terms to cure the default (including increasing the interest rate on the loans to 17%), issuing additional common stock to the loan holders and pledging the stock of the Company's subsidiary, CMW, as security for repayment of the loans. The modification required the Company to pay interest of $224,515 on June 10, 2009 and increase the quarterly payments by $67,185 (to a total of $291,700) for eight consecutive quarters beginning September 10, 2009 to satisfy the arrearage. Although the Company has failed to make the payment that was due September 10, 2009 and the payments that were due in the ensuing quarters, management has remained in close contact with the bridge lenders, providing reports regarding its efforts to refinance or otherwise repay the bridge loans. To date, none of the bridge lenders has elected to pursue legal remedies. Certain equity inducements in the form of common stock of the Company have been provided under the terms of the bridge loan documents. Upon issuance of the bridge notes, an aggregate of 7% of the outstanding common stock of the Company was issued to the bridge lenders. Upon retirement of the notes upon consummation of a qualified equity offering, the Company will issue to the bridge lenders a percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company which, when added to the stock initially issued, may equal as much as 28% of the common stock of the Company that would otherwise have been retained by the holders of the Company's common shares immediately prior to the financing. Additionally, because a qualified financing was not completed by September 10, 2008, the Company was required to issue to the bridge lenders under the terms of the loan documents a total of 2.8% of the Company's outstanding common shares at such date with an additional 2.8% of the Company's outstanding common shares issued upon each six-month anniversary date thereof until retirement of the notes. (See Note D). Given current financial market conditions and the uncertainties as to when stability will return to the financial markets, until permanent financing can be secured management will strive to reduce and then eliminate operating losses by implementing measures to control and reduce costs while maintaining and growing the Company's current revenue base. Unless permanent financing can be secured, future revenue growth can be expected to be achieved at a slower pace than has F-8
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) been projected by the Company. Until such time that the Company's operating costs can be serviced by the Company's revenue stream, management will continue to seek to raise additional funds for operations through private placements of stock, other long-term or permanent financing, or short-term borrowings. However, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to continue to obtain adequate funding in order to reasonably predict whether it will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. NOTE B - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ----------------------------------------- In October 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-26, "Financial Services - Insurance: Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts."

JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements." This FASB requires additional disclosures about the fair value measurements including transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. For the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements should be presented separately. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual financial periods beginning after December 2009, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-04, "Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section 480-10-S99". This updates Section 480-10-S99, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity", to reflect the SEC staff's views regarding the application of Accounting Series Release No. 268, "Presentation in Financial Statements of "Redeemable Preferred Stocks." The exchange for Series B Preferred shares into Series C shares as elected by those shareholders utilizes the view of the SEC in classifying the Series C Preferred shares as equity. There is no stated maturity on the Series C Preferred shares and at the time of redemption the Company will accrete changes in the redemption value at the appropriate time. These amounts will be adjusted at the end of each reporting period as applicable. In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value". This update includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall" for the fair value measurements of liabilities and provides clarification that in circumstances in which quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after August 26, 2009. The application of this update did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position. In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-08, "Earnings Per Share-Amendments to Section 260-10-S99". This update includes technical corrections to Topic 260-10-S99, "Earnings Per Share", based on EITF Topic D-53, "Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period that Includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock" and EITF Topic D-42, "The Effect of the Calculation of Earnings Per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock". The application of this update did not have an impact on the Company's results of operations, therefore not requiring additional earnings per share computation. NOTE C - INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES ----------------------------------------------- The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale, and as such, they are carried at fair value. The amortized cost of investments is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are included in net investment income. Changes in fair value are reported as a component of other comprehensive income, exclusive of other-than-temporary impairment losses, if any. For the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2010, there have been no other-than-temporary impairments. The Company intends and believes it has the ability to hold all investments in an unrealized loss position until the expected recovery in value, which may be at maturity. F-10

Management believes the Company has the ability to hold all fixed income securities to maturity. However, during fiscal year 2010, the Company determined it may dispose of securities prior to their scheduled maturity due to changes in interest rates, prepayments, tax and credit considerations, liquidity or regulatory capital requirements, or other similar factors. As a result, the Company reclassified all of its fixed income securities (bonds) and equity securities as available-for-sale. These securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, reported in stockholders' equity as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Cost of these investments totaled $5,647,133 and market value at transfer was $5,822,613 for an unrealized gain of $175,480. There are no securities classified as held to maturity at May 31, 2010 or November 30, 2010. Invested assets are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain of these invested assets and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of these assets, it is possible that changes in risks in the near term may significantly affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and Statements of Income. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable: F-11
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) O Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. O Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. O Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Fair market values are provided by the Company's independent investment custodians that utilize third-party quotation services for the valuation of the fixed-income investment securities and money-market funds held. The Company's investment custodians are large money-center banks. The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to measure different financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the instrument is generally classified. FIXED INCOME SECURITIES Securities valued using Level 1 inputs include highly liquid government bonds for which quoted market prices are available. Securities using Level 2 inputs are valued using pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions, cash flow models with yield curves and other pricing models utilizing observable inputs. Most fixed income securities are valued using Level 2 inputs. Level 2 includes corporate bonds, municipal bonds, asset-backed securities and mortgage pass-through securities. EQUITY SECURITIES Level 1 includes publicly traded securities valued using quoted market prices. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS The valuation of securities that are actively traded or have quoted prices are classified as Level 1. These securities include money market funds and U.S. Treasury bills. Level 2 includes commercial paper, for which all significant inputs are observable. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below: November 30, 2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fair Value Measurements Using Assets At Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value ---------------- ----------------- ---------------- ----------------- Assets: Fixed income securities at fair value $ - $ 6,987,603 $ - $ 6,987,603 Short-term investments at fair value 258,662 - - 258,662 ---------------- ----------------- ---------------- ----------------- Total Assets $ 258,662 $ 6,987,603 $ - $ 7,246,265 F-12

JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) In accordance with the terms of the first round bridge-financing of $2.5 million on March 10, 2008, the holders of such notes were paid accrued interest-to date and issued 5.00% of the Company's common shares. Holders of the second round of bridge-financing notes of $1.0 million received 2.00% of the Company's common shares. Upon retirement of the notes subsequent to consummation of a qualified equity offering, the Company shall issue to the holders of the bridge financing notes additional Company common stock that, when added to the stock initially issued to the holders of the notes, will equal the noteholders' pro rata share of the applicable percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company as follows: If the qualified financing consists of $50 million or more, the holders of such notes will receive 28% of the common stock of the Company that would otherwise be retained by the holders of the Company's common shares immediately prior to the financing; if the qualified financing is for an amount less than $50 million, the percentage will be reduced on a sliding scale to a fraction of 28% of the amount retained by the holders of the Company's common shares (where the numerator is the amount of financing and the denominator is $50 million). Beginning September 10, 2008, because a qualified financing had not been completed, the Company became required under the terms of the bridge financing to issue 2.80% of the Company's outstanding common shares and has issued 2.80% of the Company's outstanding common shares upon each six-month anniversary date thereof until retirement of the notes.

As the result of upheavals and dislocations in the capital markets, the Company was unable to either refinance the indebtedness evidenced by the Promissory Notes or make the Initial Amortization Payments to the Holders when due; and an Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Notes) occurred under the Promissory Notes as a result of the Company's failure to pay the Initial Amortization Payments within 14 days after same became due and payable. On June 5, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with the bridge lenders to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies arising from the Acknowledged Events of Default. As consideration for the forbearance, the Company issued 5,171,993 shares of Common stock, and pledged the stock of the Company's subsidiary, Crystal Mountain Water (CMW), as security for repayment of the loans. The original repayment schedule called for quarterly payments of $224,515. The Holders agreed that under the forbearance the Company may satisfy its obligation by increasing the quarterly payments by $67,185, (to a total of $291,700) for eight consecutive quarters beginning September 10, 2009 to satisfy the arrearage. In addition, the interest rate was increased to 17.00%. Although the Company has failed to make the payment that was due September 10, 2009 and F-14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) the payments that were due in the ensuing quarters, management has remained in close contact with the bridge lenders, providing reports regarding its efforts to refinance or otherwise repay the bridge loans. To date, none of the bridge lenders has elected to pursue legal remedies. During the three and six months ended November 30, 2010 and the year ended May 31, 2010, a company owned by a board member provided consulting services. This company provided services totaling $15,525 and $31,050 in the three and six months ended November 30, 2010 and $15,525 and $31,050 in the three and six months ended November 30, 2009.

Advances have been made to the Company by its principal shareholder and chief executive officer to fund ongoing operations under a pre-approved unsecured financing arrangement bearing interest at the rate of 12.00%. During the three months ended November 30, 2010, the principal shareholder personally assumed debt that was payable by the Company in the amount of $344,951, of which $19,951 was interest and $325,000 was principal. During the six months ended November 30, 2010, the principal shareholder personally assumed debt that was payable by the Company in the amount of $514,131, of which $39,131 was interest and $475,000 was principal.

As a means of alleviating obligations associated with the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, which by its terms matures at the end of 2010, management proposed a recapitalization to assist in stabilizing the financial position of the Company. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for two classes of capital stock, known as common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "COMMON STOCK"), and preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the "PREFERRED STOCK"). The Company's Board is authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in such series and to fix the designations, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. The Board deemed it advisable to designate a Series C Preferred Stock and fixed and determined the preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions relating to the Series C Preferred Stock as follows: 1. Designation. The shares of such series of Preferred Stock are designated "Series C Preferred Stock" (referred to herein as the "SERIES C STOCK"). The date on which the first share of Series C Stock is issued shall hereinafter be referred to as the "ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE". 2. Authorized Number. The number of shares constituting the Series C Stock are 10,000. 3. Ranking. The Series C Stock ranks, (a) as to dividends and upon Liquidation senior and prior to the Common Stock and all other equity securities to which the Series C ranks prior, with respect to dividends and upon Liquidation (collectively, "JUNIOR SECURITIES"), (b) pari passu with the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "SERIES A STOCK"), the Corporation's Series B Stock, and any other series of Preferred Stock subsequently established by the Board with equal ranking (any such other series of Preferred Stock, together with the Series C Stock, the Series B Stock and Series A Stock are collectively referred to as the "EQUAL RANKING PREFERRED") and (c) junior to any other series of Preferred Stock subsequently established by the Board with senior ranking. F-16
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 4. Dividends. (a) DIVIDEND ACCRUAL AND PAYMENT. The holders of the Series C Stock shall be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of Junior Securities, dividends ("DIVIDENDS") on each outstanding share of Series C Stock at the rate of 8% per annum of the sum of (i) the Series C Face Amount plus (ii) an amount equal to any accrued, but unpaid, dividends on such Series C Stock, including for this purpose the exchanged Series B Amount outstanding with respect to such Series C Stock. For purposes hereof, the "SERIES B AMOUNT" means an amount equal to the dividend that would have accrued on such Series C Stock held by such holder from and after the Series B Original Issue Date applicable to such share of Series C Stock, through the Original Issue Date as if such Series C Stock had been issued on such Series B Original Issue Date, less all amounts thereof distributed by the Corporation with respect to such Series C Stock. Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 following the Original Issue Date, or, if any such date is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then on the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday (each a "DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE"), as declared by the Board and, if not paid on the Dividend Payment Date, shall accrue. Amounts available for payment of Dividends (including for this purpose the Series B Amount) shall be allocated and paid with respect to the shares of Series C Preferred and any other Equal Ranking Preferred, FIRST, among the shares of Equal Ranking Preferred pro rata in accordance with the amounts of dividends accruing with respect to such shares at the current Dividend Payment Date, and, THEN, any additional amounts available for distribution in accordance with the accrued, but unpaid, dividends (and the Series B Amount then outstanding) at each prior Dividend Payment Date, in reverse chronological order, with respect to all shares of the Equal Ranking Preferred then outstanding in accordance with amounts accrued, but unpaid. For purposes hereof, the term "SERIES B ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE" shall mean, with respect to any share of Series C Stock issued by the Corporation in exchange for a share of Series B Stock, the date on which the Corporation originally issued such share of Series B Stock. The Recapitalization consisted of the exchange of Series B Shares for a combination of Series C Shares and Common Stock. For each Series B Share, the participating holder received (i) one Series C Share and (ii) 2,000 shares of JFG Common Stock (for no additional consideration). The Series B Shares have an 8.0% per annum compounding dividend preference, are convertible into Common Shares of JFG at the option of the holders at a conversion price of $1.00 per Share (as adjusted for dilution) and, to the extent not converted, must be redeemed by the Corporation at any time after December 31, 2010 at the option of the holder. Any such redemption is subject to legal constraints, such as the availability of capital or surplus out of which to pay the redemption, and to a determination by our Board of Directors that the redemption will not impair the operations of First Surety (see Note J). The Series C Shares issued in the Recapitalization have the same 8.0% per annum compounding dividend preference and carry over from the Series B Shares the same accrued but unpaid dividends. While dividends had never been declared on the Series B shares, they had been accrued, increasing the dividend preference and the redemption price and liquidity preference of such shares and increasing the liability represented thereby based upon the Series B Shares fixed maturity date. The accrued (but undeclared) dividends associated with the Series C exchange amounted to $2,295,624 and are included in the total amount exchanged for Series C Shares. Unlike the Series B Shares with their fixed maturity date, the Series C Shares are permanent equity, with accruing dividends only increasing the preference amount that must be satisfied before junior securities may participate in dividends or on liquidation. Accordingly, the effect of the F-17
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) accrual of dividends with respect to the Series C Shares on the Company's balance sheet is to increase the aggregate claim of the Series C Shares on the equity of the corporation and to increase the deficit in common equity, while having no effect on the net equity of the corporation as a whole. The entitlement of the Series C Shares to a priority in relation to junior securities with respect to dividends and on liquidation does not create an obligation by the Company and therefore no liability is recorded until the dividends are declared by the Board of the Company. The Series C Shares are pari passu with the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Shares (to the extent any remain outstanding following the Recapitalization) and no dividends or other distributions will be paid upon Common Shares or any other class of Shares that is junior in priority to the Series C Preferred while dividends are in arrears. In addition, the Series C Shares are convertible into Common Shares of JFG at the option of the holders at a conversion price of $0.10 per Share. The Series C Shares may be redeemed by the Corporation, at its option, when it is in a financial position to do so. For the year ending May 31, 2010, 6,804.936 shares of Series B Stock were surrendered and exchanged for 6,804.936 shares of Series C Stock. This exchange amounted to $6,269,051 of carrying value of Series B stock being exchanged for Series C and Common Stock. 13,609,872 shares of Common Stock were issued to the Series C Stock holders at the rate of 2,000 Common shares for each exchanged Series B Stock, with the related cost associated with the Common issuance offsetting the Series C carrying value by $265,120. The shares were valued at approximately $.01948 per share based on the average quoted closing price of the Company's stock for the 20-day period proceeding the date of the transaction. Series C stock may be redeemed by the Company but does not have a fixed maturity date and, thus, is classified as permanent equity. Holders of over 70% of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares elected to participate in the recapitalization. Those Series B Preferred Shareholders that chose not to convert at this time are listed in the Liabilities section of the Balance Sheet, and therefore the accretion and dividends associated with the Series B stock after November 30, 2009 are deductions from net income. As the redemption date on the Series B shares got closer (See Note J), it became apparent that it was unlikely that the shares would be converted to common at $1.00, and thus the classification was changed. Accretion and dividends on Series B mandatorily redeemable preferred stock deducted from net income amounted to $45,415 and $80,951 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 and $90,039 and $159,456 for the six month period ending November 30, 2010. The remaining Series B shares are continuing to be accreted from carrying value to the face amount for the 5 year period from the date of issuance. Series C stock has no accretion. There were no shares of Series B Stock surrendered or exchanged in the 3 or six month periods ending November 30, 2010. NOTE F - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND MATERIAL AGREEMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------ As of November 30, 2010, the Company had accrued and withheld approximately $136,000 in Federal payroll taxes and approximately $33,000 in West Virginia payroll withholdings, as well as penalties and interest of approximately $34,000. These amounts are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as accrued expenses.

JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE H - REINSURANCE -------------------- The Company limits the maximum net loss that can arise from large risks by reinsuring (ceding) certain levels of such risk with reinsurers. Ceded reinsurance is treated as the risk and liability of the assuming companies. The Company cedes insurance to other companies and these reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Effective April 1, 2009, FSC entered into a reinsurance agreement with various syndicates at Lloyd's of London and one Bermuda based reinsurer ("Reinsurer") for its coal reclamation surety bonding programs. The reinsurance agreement is an excess of loss contract which protects the Company against losses up to certain limits over stipulated amounts, has an initial term of 39 months and can be terminated by either party by written notice of at least 90 days prior to any July 1. The contract called for the first year of the agreement to consist of 15 months with premium due within 30 days of the end of the first Agreement Year, June 1, 2010, at a rate of 35% of gross written premium, subject to a minimum premium $490,000. Year 2 of the contract is 12 months in duration, with premium due within 30 days of the end of the second Agreement Year, June 1, 2011, at a rate of 35% of gross written premium, subject to a minimum premium $490,000. At November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2010, the Company had prepaid reinsurance premiums of $185,165 and $214,385. At November 30 2010 and May 31, 2010, the Company had ceded reinsurance deposited with the Reinsurer in excess of ceded premium written resulting in net deposits of $18,735 and $122,568. There were no ceded losses or loss adjustment expenses for the three and six months ended November 30, 2010 or 2009. The effects of reinsurance on premium written and earned for the three and six month periods ending November 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows; THREE MONTH THREE MONTH THREE MONTH THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDING PERIOD ENDING PERIOD ENDING PERIOD ENDING NOVEMBER 30, NOVEMBER 30, NOVEMBER 30, NOVEMBER 30, 2010 - 2010 - 2009 - 2009 - WRITTEN EARNED WRITTEN EARNED --------- --------- --------- --------- DIRECT $ 99,366 $ 340,421 $ 66,304 $ 255,394 CEDED $ 26,005 $ 104,563 $ 23,034 $ 51,138 --------- --------- --------- --------- NET $ 73,361 $ 235,858 $ 43,270 $ 204,256 ========= ========= ========= ========= SIX MONTH SIX MONTH SIX MONTH SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDING PERIOD ENDING PERIOD ENDING PERIOD ENDING NOVEMBER 30, NOVEMBER 30, NOVEMBER 30, NOVEMBER 30, 2010 - 2010 - 2009 - 2009 - WRITTEN EARNED WRITTEN EARNED --------- --------- --------- --------- DIRECT $ 548,290 $ 627,127 $ 379,902 $ 505,427 CEDED $ 178,293 $ 207,513 $ 128,786 $ 94,279 ---------- --------- --------- --------- NET $ 369,997 $ 419,614 $ 251,116 $ 411,148 ========== ========= ========= ========= F-20
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE I - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION --------------------------------- On June 30, 2009 the compensation committee of the board of directors awarded 10,000,000 incentive stock options to acquire common shares at an exercise price of four cents ($.04) per share, of which 4,700,000 shares vested immediately and the remaining 5,300,000 options vesting over the next three years ending in June 2011. The term of the options is five years and expires in June 2014. NOTE J - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS -------------------------- Subsequent to November 30, 2010, the Company obtained borrowings of $69,000 from individuals and business' to fund ongoing operations and made repayments of $173,000. Such borrowings were obtained under demand or short term notes bearing interest at the rate of 10.00%. These borrowings, and the renewal of previous borrowings, included the issuance of 1,245,000 shares of its common stock as additional consideration. Additionally, the Company obtained borrowings of $5,550 from its principal shareholder and chief executive officer under its pre-approved financing arrangement bearing interest at the rate of 12.00% and made repayments totaling $145,850. Subsequent to November 30, 2010 and prior to their December 30, 2010 expiration, 6,257,244 warrants were exercised for conversion into Common stock. Of these, 1,990,578 were exercised by payment of cash at the warrant price of $.001 per share and 4,266,666 (gross) were exercised under the cashless exercise option, resulting in 761,904 warrants surrendered at the market price of $.0056 to effect those holders' purchase of 3,504,762 net shares. Subsequent to November 30, 2010, 986,667 warrants expired unexercised on the fifth anniversary of their issuance and the company no longer has any warrants outstanding. On December 31, 2010, the Company elected to continue to defer payment of dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock, with such accrued and unpaid quarterly dividends amounting to $31,022, $82,583 and $198,802, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the accumulated accrued and unpaid dividend amounted to $432,967, $1,361,058, and $3,252,946, respectively Subsequent to November 30, 2010, the Company entered into a repayment plan with the West Virginia State Tax Department. Monthly installment payments of $2,874, including interest and penalties, are to be made through November 2011 to satisfy the payroll tax withholding obligation. Subsequent to November 30, 2010, the Company has remitted $92,000 in Federal payroll taxes and is in the process of establishing a monthly installment plan to satisfy the remaining obligation. The company's Series B Preferred stock matured on December 30, 2010. Under its terms, the Company's Board was required to make a good faith determination regarding (A) whether the funds of the Corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Series B Stock are sufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed on such date and (B) whether the amounts otherwise legally available for redemption would, if used to effect the redemption, not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance F-21
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) Subsidiary. If the Board determines that there is a sufficiency of legally available funds to accomplish the redemption and that the use of such funds to effect the redemption will not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, then the redemption shall occur on the Redemption Date. If, however, the Board determines either that there are not sufficient funds legally available to accomplish the redemption or that the use of such funds to effect the redemption will result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, then (X) the Corporation shall notify the holders of shares that would otherwise have been redeemed of such fact and the consequences as provided in this paragraph, (Y) the Corporation will use those funds which are legally available therefor and which would not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of Series B Stock for which Redemption Notices have been received ratably among the holders of such shares to be redeemed based upon their holdings of such shares, and (Z) thereafter, until such shares are redeemed in full, the dividends accruing and payable on such shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed shall be increased by 2% of the Series B Face Amount, with the amount of such increase (I.E., 2% of the Series B Face Amount) to be satisfied by distributions on each Dividend Payment Date of shares of Common Stock having a value (determined by reference to the average closing price of such Common Stock over the preceding 20 trading days) equal to the amount of such increase. The shares of Series B Stock not redeemed shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of Series B Stock and such redemption will not result in an impairment of operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, such funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed. No dividends or other distributions shall be declared or paid on, nor shall the Corporation redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of, the Common Stock or any other class or series of Junior Securities or Equal Ranking Preferred of the Corporation unless the Redemption Price per share of all shares for which Redemption Notices have been given shall have been paid in full, provided that the redemption price of any Equal Ranking Preferred subject of redemption shall be paid on a pari passu basis with the Redemption Price of the Series B Stock subject of redemption in accordance herewith. Until the Redemption Price for each share of Series B Stock elected to be redeemed shall have been paid in full, such share of Series B Stock shall remain outstanding for all purposes and entitle the holder thereof to all the rights and privileges provided herein, and Dividends shall continue to accrue and, if unpaid prior to the date such shares are redeemed, shall be included as part of the Redemption Price.,. The Company's Board of Directors met on December 30, 2010 and determined there were insufficient funds available for the redemption of Series B Stock. As of this report, the Company has received requests for redemption of 2,141.341 shares of Series B Preferred. F-22
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During fiscal 2010 and the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, the Company focused its primary efforts on the development and marketing of its surety business in West Virginia and Ohio, arranging for potential strategic relationships to accelerate the progression of the Company's business plan and raising additional capital to increase the capital base of its insurance subsidiary, First Surety Corporation ("FSC"), to facilitate entry into other state markets. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2010 The Company experienced a loss (after accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock, and accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and equity preferred stock) for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 of $609,303 as compared with a loss of $713,937 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. REVENUES Revenues from operations for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 were $390,281 as compared with $345,587 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. The overall increase in revenues is attributable to an increase in written premium by FSC, as well as the gain recognized on the sale of investments held by the company. INVESTMENT ADVISORY REVENUES Quarterly revenues from the Company's investment management segment (Jacobs & Company or J&C), net of advisory referral fees, were $64,427 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared with $66,963 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under management therefore some fluctuation will occur due to overall market conditions. For the most part, however, such revenues will remain relatively constant from quarter to quarter with any large fluctuations being attributable to the growth or decline of assets under management. -3-
INSURANCE AND INVESTMENT REVENUES Quarterly revenues from the Company's surety insurance segment, consisting of FSC and Triangle Surety Agency, Inc ("TSA"), were $319,666 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared with $279,777 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. Revenues attributable to premium earned, net investment income and commissions earned are as follows: Three-month Period Ended November 30, ---------------------------------- 2010 2009 ----------------- ---------------- Premium earned $ 235,858 $ 204,255 Net investment income 79,873 71,260 Commissions earned 3,935 4,262 ----------------- ---------------- Total $ 319,666 $ 279,777 ================= ================ Premium revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the policy period and thus is relatively stable from period to period with fluctuations for comparable periods generally reflecting the overall growth or loss of business. Whereas commission revenue, which is dependent on the timing of issuance or renewal of bonds, is expected to be somewhat more "seasonable" from quarter-to-quarter with fluctuations for comparable periods largely reflecting the overall growth or loss of business. The increase in premiums earned for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 in comparison to the corresponding period from the prior year is a result of increased premiums written for new and existing clients despite having 12 months covered by reinsurance and thus reduced by 12 months of ceded premiums, versus only 8 months of reinsurance in the prior year. Investment income should remain relatively consistent, but can fluctuate based on interest rates and market conditions as well as the average assets held for investment. The increase in corresponding periods reflects growth in average assets held for investment in FSC's investment portfolio from $6.430 million for the three-month period ended November 30, 2009 to $7.058 million for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010, offset by a decline in investment yield from approximately 4.68% for the three-month period ended November 30, 2009 to approximately 3.29% for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010. In addition, the sale of investments resulted in a realized gain. EXPENSES INCURRED POLICY LOSSES The Company has experienced no claims for losses as of November 30, 2010. However, "incurred but not reported" (IBNR) policy losses for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $50,384 and $49,501 respectively. Such amounts represent the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense attributable to surety bonds issued by FSC. Such estimates are based on industry averages adjusted for factors that are unique to FSC's underwriting approach and are constantly reviewed for adequacy based on current market conditions and other factors unique to FSC's business. For each of these periods, IBNR policy losses were approximately 21% and 24% of earned premium, respectively. -4-
POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS Insurance policy acquisition costs of $77,353 and $67,567 for the three-month periods ended November 30, 20010 and 2009, respectively, represent charges to operations for policy acquisition expense and premium tax attributable to surety polices issued by FSC and are recognized ratably over the period in which premiums are earned. Such cost as a percentage of earned premium was approximately 33% and 33% for the periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 were $314,204 and $327,712 respectively, representing a decrease of $13,508, and were comprised of the following: Three-month Period Ended November 30, ------------------ ------------------ 2010 2009 Difference ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Salaries and related costs $ 154,118 $ 184,627 $ (30,509) General office expense 31,914 29,566 2,348 Legal and other professional fees and costs 43,035 30,786 12,249 Audit, accounting and related services 31,812 24,508 7,304 Travel, meals and entertainment 15,356 12,617 2,739 Other general and administrative 37,969 45,608 (7,639) ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Total general and administrative $ 314,204 $ 327,712 $ (13,508) ================== ================== =================== Salaries and related costs, net of deferred internal policy acquisition costs, decreased approximately $31,000 and are comprised of the following: Three-month Period Ended November 30, ------------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Salaries and taxes $ 129,685 $ 125,377 $ 4,308 Commissions 27,714 3,937 23,777 Stock option expense 1,110 34,105 (32,995) Fringe benefits 18,538 14,824 3,714 Key-man insurance 19,832 19,038 794 Deferred payroll costs (42,761) (12,654) (30,107) ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Total salaries and related costs $ 154,118 $ 184,627 $ (30,509) ================== ================== =================== The decrease in stock option expense is attributable to the award of stock options on June 30, 2009. The increase in commissions is attributable to the Company's commission structure that pays a larger commission on the origination of a policy but reduced for subsequent policy renewals. -5-
Legal and other professional fees and costs were comprised of the following: Three-month Period Ended November 30, -------------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference -------------------- ----------------- ---------------- General corporate services $ 919 $ 18,060 $ (17,141) SEC related costs 29,594 - 29,594 Coal reclamation consulting 5,463 344 5,119 Acquisition and financing related costs 7,059 12,382 (5,323) -------------------- ----------------- ---------------- Total legal and other professional fees $ 43,035 $ 30,786 $ 12,249 ==================== ================= ================ In the three month period ending November 30, 2010, the Company incurred costs in response to a triennial SEC examination of its investment advisory subsidiary. The decrease in general corporate services results primarily from legal fees incurred in the recapitalization and exchange of Series B Preferred shares for Series C Preferred shares, as well as timing differences related to review and assistance provided in connection with the filing of the Company's annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the three-month period ended November 30, 2010, the Company incurred expense of $5,463 related to a coal reclamation consulting services agreement between FSC and an unrelated individual. Legal and other professional services and costs related to the Company's pending acquisitions and on-going efforts to obtain financing necessary to expand the Company's business and penetrate new markets amounted to $7,059 and $12,382 for the three-month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in travel, meals and entertainment expense for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding 2009 period related primarily to additional efforts made by management to pursue financing and strategic partnerships. Other general and administrative expense decreased approximately $7,500 for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding 2009 period. MUTUAL FUND COSTS J&C was the investment advisor to the Jacobs & Company Mutual Fund (the "Fund") until its liquidation and distribution to its shareholders on December 1, 2009. While the Fund was responsible for its own operating expenses, J&C, as the investment advisor, had agreed to limit the Fund's aggregate annual operating expenses to 2% of the average net assets. The cumulative reimbursement due the Fund by J&C as of November 30, 2010 was $54,866. J&C had no revenue or expenses attributable to the Fund for the three month period ending November 30, 2010; it had absorbed $36,587 of the Fund's operating expenses during the corresponding period from the previous year. -6-
INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 was $196,890 as compared with $181,815 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. Components of interest expense are comprised of the following: Three-month Period Ended November 30, ----------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Interest expense on bridge-financing $ 148,343 $ 142,301 $ 6,042 Expense of common shares issued or to be issued in connection with bridge financing and other arrangements 39,228 12,222 27,006 Interest expense on demand and term notes 4,747 24,858 (20,111) Other finance charges 4,572 2,434 2,138 ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Total interest expense $ 196,890 $ 181,815 $ 15,075 ================= ================= ================= The increase in the expense of common shares issued (or to be issued) for the three-month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year was attributable to the increase in borrowings. Interest expense on bridge financing increased due to increasing the interest rate to 17% as part of the forbearance agreement terms. Interest expense on demand and term notes decreased despite increased borrowings, due to an adjustment of accrued interest on a line of credit. ACCRETION AND DIVIDENDS Accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock issued at a discount and accrued dividends for three-month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows: Three-month Period Ended November 30, -------------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- Accretion of discount $ 4,686 $ 116,007 $ (111,321) Accrued dividends - mandatorily redeemable preferred stock 30,713 277,686 (246,973) Accrued dividends - equity preferred stock 194,873 - 194,873 -------------------- ----------------- ----------------- Total accretion and dividends $ 230,272 $ 393,693 $ (163,521) ==================== ================= ================= The Series B class of stock is treated as a liability as of November 30, 2009 after the majority was exchanged for Series C equity stock. Therefore, accretion of $45,415 and dividends of $80,951 associated with the Series B remaining after that date are deductions from net income and not included in the table above. The decrease in the accretion of discount and the accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock results from this exclusion of Series B subsequent to November 30, 2009, as well as the application of the interest or constant yield method to the initial discount recorded with respect to the -7-
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock over a period of five years from the date of issuance of the stock. Series C equity stock accrues dividends at the same rate as the Series B it was exchanged for, however it is separated in the table above due to Series C not being mandatorily redeemable. Series C does not accrete. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2010 The Company experienced a loss (after accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock, and accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and equity preferred stock) for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 of $1,182,525 as compared with a loss of $1,656,879 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. REVENUES Revenues from operations for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 were $729,343 as compared with $701,310 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. Overall revenue increased due to the continued growth of the surety business of FSC and the recognition of gains on the sale of investments held by the company. However, investment advisory services and net investment income decreased due to the removal of mutual fund fees upon the liquidation of the Jacobs & Company Mutual Fund, and the receipt of large principal payments on mortgage backed securities, which resulted in large amortization of premiums recognized in the six-month period. INVESTMENT ADVISORY REVENUES Quarterly revenues from the Company's investment management segment (Jacobs & Company or J&C), net of advisory referral fees, were $118,597 for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared with $131,288 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. As investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under management, some fluctuation will occur due to overall market conditions. For the most part, however, such revenues will remain relatively constant from quarter to quarter with any large fluctuations being attributable to the growth or loss of assets under management. The decrease in revenues is attributable to the liquidation of the Jacobs & Company Mutual Fund in November 2009, as summarized below. (See "Expenses, Mutual Fund Costs,") Six-month Period Ended November 30, 2010 2009 ----------------- ---------------- Individually managed accounts $ 118,597 $ 119,517 Mutual fund - 11,771 ----------------- ---------------- Total $ 118,597 $ 131,288 ================= ================ -8-
INSURANCE AND INVESTMENT REVENUES Quarterly revenues from the Company's surety insurance segment, consisting of FSC and Triangle Surety Agency, Inc ("TSA"), were $602,925 for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared with $566,353 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. Revenues attributable to premium earned, net investment income and commissions earned are as follows: Six-month Period Ended November 30, 2010 2009 ----------------- ---------------- Premium earned $ 419,614 $ 411,148 Net investment income 164,142 143,503 Commissions earned 19,169 11,702 ----------------- ---------------- Total $ 602,925 $ 566,353 ================= ================ Revenues for this segment of the business are expected to be somewhat more "seasonable" from quarter-to-quarter as commission revenue is dependent on the timing of issuance or renewal of bonds placed by the Company, whereas premium revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the policy period and thus is more stable from period to period. Fluctuations in premium revenue for comparable periods largely reflect the overall growth or loss of business. The increase in premium earned for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 in comparison to the corresponding period from the prior year is a result of increased premiums written for new and existing clients despite having 12 months covered by reinsurance, and thus reduced by 12 months of ceded premiums versus only 8 months of reinsurance in the prior year. Investment income should remain relatively consistent, but can fluctuate based on interest rates and market conditions. The increase in corresponding periods reflects growth in average assets held for investment in FSC's investment portfolio from approximately $6.441 million for the six-month period ended November 30, 2009 to approximately $ 7.016 million for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, offset by a decrease in investment yield from approximately 4.75% for the six-month period ended November 30, 2009 to approximately 3.50% for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010. In addition, the sale of investments resulted in a realized gain, which was offset by the amortization of premium for larger than usual principal payments on mortgage backed securities. EXPENSES INCURRED POLICY LOSSES The Company has experienced no claims for losses as of November 30, 2010. However, "incurred but not reported" (IBNR) policy losses for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $92,711 and $97,686 respectively. Such amounts represent the provision for loss and loss adjustment expense attributable to surety bonds issued by FSC. Such estimates are based on industry averages adjusted for factors that are unique to the FSC's underwriting approach and are constantly reviewed for adequacy based on current market -9-
conditions and other factors unique to FSC's business. IBNR policy losses were approximately 22% and 24% of earned premium for the six-month periods ending November 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS Insurance policy acquisition costs of $137,334 and $130,168 for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, represent charges to operations for policy acquisition expense and premium tax attributable to surety polices issued by FSC and are recognized ratably over the period in which premiums are earned. Such cost as a percentage of earned premium was approximately 32.73% and 31.66% for the periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 respectively. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE General and administrative expenses for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 were $569,601 and $728,325 respectively, representing a decrease of $158,724, and were comprised of the following: Six-month Period Ended November 30, ------------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Salaries and related costs $ 264,576 $ 417,845 $ (153,269) General office expense 60,292 57,407 2,885 Legal and other professional fees and costs 68,361 97,861 (29,500) Audit, accounting and related services 57,355 48,526 8,829 Travel, meals and entertainment 27,106 28,236 (1,130) Other general and administrative 91,911 78,450 13,461 ------------------ ------------------ ------------------- Total general and administrative $ 569,601 $ 728,325 $ (158,724) ================== ================== =================== Salaries and related costs, net of deferred internal policy acquisition costs, decreased approximately $153,000 and are comprised of the following: Six-month Period Ended November 30, -------------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference ------------------- ----------------- ------------------ Salaries and taxes $ 258,232 $ 252,137 $ 6,095 Commissions 35,345 15,269 20,076 Stock option expense 14,562 172,995 (158,433) Fringe benefits 32,400 27,386 5,414 Key-man life insurance 30,820 30,257 563 Deferred policy acquisition costs (107,183) (80,199) (26,984) ------------------- ----------------- ------------------ Total salaries and related costs $ 264,576 $ 417,845 $ (153,269) =================== ================= ================== The increase in commissions is attributable to the Company's commission structure that pays a larger commission on the origination of a policy but reduced for subsequent policy renewals. The decrease in stock option expense is attributable to the award of stock options on June 30, 2009. -10-
Legal and other professional fees and costs were comprised of the following: Six-month Period Ended November 30, -------------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference --------------------- ---------------- ----------------- General corporate services $ 9,508 $ 37,165 $ (27,657) SEC related costs 29,594 - 29,594 Coal reclamation consulting 11,883 344 11,539 Acquisition and financing related costs 17,376 60,352 (42,976) --------------------- ---------------- ----------------- Total legal and other professional fees $ 68,361 $ 97,861 $ (29,500) ===================== ================ ================= In the six month period ending November 30, 2010, the Company incurred costs in response to a triennial SEC examination of its investment advisor subsidiary. The decrease in general corporate services results primarily from legal fees incurred in the recapitalization and exchange of Series B Preferred shares for Series C Preferred shares, as well as timing differences related to review and assistance provided in connection with the filing of the Company's annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the six-month period ended November 30, 2010, the Company incurred expense of $11,883 related to a coal reclamation consulting services agreement between FSC and an unrelated individual. Legal and other professional services and costs related to the Company's pending acquisitions and on-going efforts to obtain financing necessary to expand the Company's business and penetrate new markets amounted to $17,376 and $60,352 for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. MUTUAL FUND COSTS J&C was the investment advisor to the Jacobs & Company Mutual Fund (the "Fund") until its liquidation and distribution to its shareholders on December 1, 2009. While the Fund was responsible for its own operating expenses, J&C, as the investment advisor, had agreed to limit the Fund's aggregate annual operating expenses to 2% of the average net assets. The cumulative reimbursement due the Fund by J&C as of November 30, 2010 was $54,866. J&C had no revenue or expenses attributable to the Fund for the six month period ending November 30, 2010; it had absorbed $74,913 of the Fund's operating expenses during the corresponding period from the previous year. -11-
INTEREST EXPENSE Interest expense for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 was $401,258 as compared with $509,099 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2009. Components of interest expense are comprised of the following: Six-month Period Ended November 30, ----------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Interest expense on bridge financing $ 298,316 $ 226,212 $ 72,104 Expense of common shares issued or to be issued in connection with bridge financing and other arrangements 63,586 238,192 (174,606) Interest expense on demand and term notes 33,195 41,057 (7,862) Other finance charges 6,161 3,638 2,523 ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- Total interest expense $ 401,258 $ 509,099 $ (107,841) ================= ================= ================= The increase in interest expense on bridge financing is due to increasing the interest rate on the bridge loans from 10% to 17% as of September 10, 2009. The decrease in the expense of common shares issued (or to be issued) for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year was largely attributable to the issuance of common stock on June 5, 2009 in relation to the agreement with the bridge loan holders. Interest expense on demand and term notes decreased despite increased borrowings, due to an adjustment of accrued interest on a line of credit. ACCRETION AND DIVIDENDS Accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock issued at a discount and accrued dividends for six-month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows: Six-month Period Ended November 30, -------------------------------------- 2010 2009 Difference --------------------- ----------------- ---------------- Accretion of discount $ 9,312 $ 264,308 $ (254,996) Accrued dividends - mandatorily redeemable preferred stock 60,792 548,245 (487,453) Accrued dividends - equity preferred stock 383,858 - 383,858 --------------------- ----------------- ---------------- Total accretion and dividends $ 453,962 $ 812,553 $ (358,591) ===================== ================= ================ The Series B class of stock is treated as a liability as of November 30, 2009 after the majority was exchanged for Series C equity stock. Therefore, accretion of $90,390 and dividends of $159,456 associated with the remaining Series B are deductions from net income and not included in the table above. The decrease in the accretion of discount and the accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock results from this exclusion of Series B subsequent to November 30, 2009 as well as the application of the interest or constant yield method to the initial discount recorded over a period of five years from the date of -12-
issuance of the stock. Series C equity stock accrues dividends at the same rate as the Series B for which it was exchanged; however, it is separated in the table above due to Series C not being mandatorily redeemable. Series C does not accrete. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES INTANGIBLE ASSETS In exchange for the purchase price of $2.9 million for the 2005 acquisition of FSC, the Company received cash and investments held by FSC totaling $2.75 million, with the difference being attributed to the multi-line property and casualty licenses of FSC in the states of West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. Such licenses have indefinite lives and are evaluated annually for recoverability and impairment loss. Impairment loss, if any, is measured by estimating future cash flows attributable to such assets based on forecasts and projections and comparing such discounted cash flow amounts to the carrying value of the asset. Should actual results differ from such forecasts and projections, such assets may be subject to future impairment charges. RESERVE FOR LOSSES AND LOSS EXPENSES Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses of the insurance subsidiary are estimated using individual case-basis valuations in conjunction with estimates derived from industry and company experience. FSC has experienced no claims for losses as of November 30, 2010. FSC is licensed to write surety in West Virginia and Ohio and has focused its efforts primarily on coal permit bonds. Reclamation of land that has been disturbed by mining operations is highly regulated by federal and state jurisdictions, and the surety bonds posted to assure that reclamation is accomplished are generally long-term in nature, with mining operations and reclamation work conducted in unison as the property is being mined. Additionally, no two principals or properties are alike due to varied company structures and unique geography and geology of each site. In underwriting coal reclamation bonds, management obtains estimates of costs to reclaim the relevant properties in accordance with the specifications of the mining permit prepared by independent outside professionals experienced in this field of work. Such estimates are then periodically updated and compared with marketable securities pledged by the principal and held in an account in which FSC has a security interest as collateral for the surety bond to mitigate FSC's exposure to loss. Should the principal default in its obligation to reclaim the property as specified in the mining permit, FSC would then use the funds in the collateral account to reclaim the property or as an offset in forfeiting the face amount of the surety bond. Losses can occur if the costs of reclamation exceed the estimates obtained at the time the bond was underwritten or upon subsequent re-evaluations unless sufficient collateral is obtained, or if the collateral has experienced significant deterioration in value and FSC is not otherwise able to recover under its contractual rights to indemnification. -13-
Miscellaneous fixed-liability surety bonds generally are fully collateralized by the principal's cash investment into a collateral account managed by the Company's investment advisory subsidiary (Jacobs & Co.) that mitigates FSC's exposure to loss. Losses can occur should the principal default on the performance required by the bond and the collateral held in the investment account experiences deterioration in value. In establishing its reserves for losses and loss adjustment expense, management continually reviews its exposure to loss based on reports provided after periodic monitoring and inspections, along with industry averages and historical experience. Management has estimated such losses based on industry experience, adjusted for factors that are unique to the Company's approach, and in consultation with actuaries experienced in the surety field. ANALYSIS OF LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE DIRECTION OF COMPANY The Company has experienced significant losses (after accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock and accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock and equity preferred stock) of approximately $2,713,000 and $3,058,000 for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and a loss of approximately $1,183,000 for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010. The Company had positive cash flow of approximately $47,000 from operating activities for the six-month period ended November 30, 2010. A substantial portion of the Company's cash flow is generated by its insurance subsidiary and is subject to certain withdrawal restrictions. Despite the continued reduction of operating expenses, the Company has not been able to pay certain amounts due to professionals and others, continues to be unable to pay its preferred stock dividend obligation, certain payroll taxes and withholdings from 2009 or to cure its default in certain quarterly payments due its bridge-financing lenders. While management expects revenue growth and cash flow to increase significantly as its business plan is fully implemented, it is anticipated that losses will continue and the Company will be cash constrained until FSC is able to develop a substantial book of business. The Company is restricted in its ability to withdraw monies from FSC without the prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner. Of the Company's investments and cash of $7,291,823 as of November 30, 2010, $7,290,601 is restricted to FSC. Furthermore, capital raised pursuant to the sale of Series A Preferred stock of the Company in connection with the issuance of partially-collateralized surety bonds must be contributed by the Company into the surplus accounts of FSC. Effective April 1, 2009, FSC entered into a reinsurance agreement with Lloyd's of London for its coal reclamation surety bonding programs. This agreement has provided additional bonding capacity and has enabled FSC to write more bonds and of greater size for its coal reclamation bonding clients. Management expects this reinsurance arrangement to allow FSC to expand its market share and to result in increased cash flow for each of the Company's operating subsidiaries. The reinsurance agreement was renewed effective July 1, 2010 for an additional one year period. -14-
Expansion of FSC's business to other states is a key component to fully implementing the Company's business plan. In fiscal 2009, the Company was able to increase the capital of FSC, reactivate FSC's insurance license in Ohio and obtain authority to issue surety bonds in that state. However, management has found that entry into other states has been difficult without the benefit of more substantial capital and reserves due to FSC's status as a comparatively recent entry into this market and the financial condition of the Company. This is the case notwithstanding the reinsurance agreement entered into by FSC with Lloyd's of London and the resulting increase in bonding capacity. Management believes that if FSC's capital and surplus reserves were significantly more substantial and the financial condition of the Company became stabilized, entry into other states would be less challenging. Accordingly, management continues to pursue avenues that can provide additional capital to its insurance subsidiary and to fund continuing operations as the business fully develops. In addition, as an alternative means of addressing access to markets, management is seeking to establish a relationship with any one of several possible sureties that are licensed in states other than West Virginia and Ohio that comprise significant markets for the bonding programs of FSC and could issue surety bonds that are underwritten and reinsured by FSC. Under such a "fronting" arrangement, the need for additional capital at the level of FSC to facilitate entry to other state markets would become secondary since the payment of a fronting fee to the insurance company with active licenses would provide access to the state market without formal entry. As a means of alleviating obligations associated with the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, which by its terms matured at the end of 2010, management proposed a recapitalization to assist in stabilizing the financial position of the Company. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock were offered the opportunity to exchange their Series B Shares for an equal number of shares of a new series of JFG preferred stock designated as Series C Preferred Stock plus 2,000 shares of JFG Common Stock. Series C Preferred Stock is equal in priority to the Series B Preferred Stock, is entitled to dividends at the same rate as Series B Preferred Stock, is entitled to convert to common stock of the Company at a conversion rate of $.10 per common share (in contrast to $1.00 per share for Series B Preferred) and may be redeemed by the Company but does not have a fixed maturity date and, thus, is classified as permanent equity. Holders of over 70% of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares elected to participate in the recapitalization. Management believes the recapitalization will improve the Company's prospects for engaging in a larger financing, will assist FSC as it applies to enter other state markets, and will be an impetus to the growth of the Company's business. Through the sharing of resources (primarily personnel) to minimize operating costs, the Company and its subsidiaries attempt to minimize operating expenses and preserve resources. Although FSC is cash flow positive, the use of its assets and profits are restricted to its stand-alone operation by regulatory authority until its capital and surplus reserves reach levels that are more substantial. While growth of the FSC business continues to provide additional cash flow to the Company's other subsidiaries, Jacobs and Triangle Surety, it is anticipated that working capital deficiencies will continue and will need to be met either through the raising of additional capital or borrowings. However, there can be no assurance that additional capital (or debt financing) will be available when and to the extent required or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. Accordingly, concerns as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern are substantial. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. -15-
The Company's exposure to the subprime mortgage risk is minimal due to its investment in mortgage-backed securities having been limited to only those securities backed by the United States government (i.e. Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA securities). The Company also holds municipal obligations that have been fully defeased through the purchase of Resolution Funding Corporation ("REFCORP") strips that were placed in escrow and provide the means for the bond repayment. REFCORP was created by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") to provide funds to the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") in order to help resolve the Savings and Loan failures. REFCORP operates as a United States Treasury agency under the direction of the RTC Oversight Board, whose chair is the secretary of the United States Treasury, and its obligations are ultimately backed by the United States government. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ------------------------------------------------------------------ As the Registrant qualifies as a small reporting company as defined by ss.229.10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Registrant is not required to provide the information required by this item. ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES -------------------------------- We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of November 30, 2010. As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2010, control deficiencies were identified that constitute a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Such control deficiencies relate to the use of internally developed non-integrated accounting systems, lack of internal review of account reconciliations, and lack of internal review of general journal entries, elimination entries and the financial statement consolidation process. Based upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of November 30, 2010, were ineffective. Changes will be considered as additional financial resources and accounting staff become available. Notwithstanding the above, management believes the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition as of November 30, 2010 and May 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2010 and 2009 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP). -16-
