Stoneville Insurance Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Quarters Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 (Unaudited)

1.          Basis of Presentation

            These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
            instructions to Form 10Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by
            generally accepted accounting principles and must be read in conjunction with the 1999 annual
            statement.  The accompanying financial statements have not been audited by independent
            accountants in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of
            management, the accompanying interim unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
            necessary to summarize fairly the statement of financial position and results of operations of the
            Company for the interim periods.


2.          Consolidation of Subsidiaries

            In January, 1999, the Company formed Stoneville Service Company, Inc., a Mississippi corporation
            owned entirely by Stoneville Insurance Company.  Stoneville Service Company, Inc. provides claims
            and risk control services primarily to Arkansas groups that are self-funded for workers'
            compensation purposes.

            In May, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of American Colonial Insurance
            Company, an Arkansas property and casualty insurance company.  Immediately after the
            acquisition, the name was changed to Stoneville Insurance Company of Arkansas.  The  Company
            has begun to write small premium workers' compensation insurance in Arkansas and will reinsure
            other workers' compensation carriers on a limited risk basis.  The Company also plans to provide
            claims administration and program management services for these insurance programs through its
            Arkansas subsidiary.

            The accompanying financial statements present the  Company and its subsidiaries, Stoneville
            Service Company, Inc. and Stoneville Insurance Company of Arkansas, on a consolidated basis.
            All material inter-company profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated.

3.          Operations of the Company

            The Company was formed to become the successor to the Delta Agricultural and Industrial Trust,
            a Mississippi self-funded workers compensation trust.  The Company entered the workers
            compensation market in the first quarter of 1998 as a reinsurer and began direct writing of workers'
            compensation insurance in the fourth quarter of 1998. In July, 1998, the Company began providing
            claims and risk control services as well as program management services to the insurance
            programs being reinsured by the Company.  In January, 1999,  the Company began providing
            claims and risk control services to Arkansas self-funded workers' compensation groups through its
            newly formed subsidiary, Stoneville Service Company, Inc.

            The Company also began duplicating its Mississippi workers' compensation programs in Arkansas
            through Stoneville Insurance Company of Arkansas in the third quarter of 1999.

4.          Assets Pledged

            All of the $948,818 in securities available-for-sale and approximately $500,000 in cash is pledged
            collateral for letters of credit issued to an insurance carrier that the Company reinsures on a quota
            share basis.  A claim may be made against the letter of credit if the ceding insurer is unable to pay
            claims from premiums collected by it.

5.          Reserve for Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses

            The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses ("LAE") is based upon case reserve reports
            received from ceding insurance companies and the company's own estimates.  Loss and LAE
            reserves also include estimates of incurred but not reported losses based on past experience
            modified for current trends and estimates of  expenses for investigating and settling claims.  It is the
            company's policy not to discount such reserves.   Management believes that the reserve for loss
            and LAE as of March 31, 2000 is adequate to cover ultimate gross cost of losses and LAE incurred
            through March 31, 2000.  The reserve is based on estimates of losses and LAE incurred and,
            therefore, the amount ultimately paid may be more or less than such estimates.


6.          Earnings (Loss) Per Share

            Earnings (loss) per common share is based on net income or (loss) and the weighted average
            number of shares outstanding during each interim period.  The number of shares used in computing
            earnings per share is 503,384 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition - March 31, 2000 Compared to December 31, 1999

        Total shareholders’ equity decreased by $12,839 or .7% from $1,785,078 at December 31, 1999 to $1,772,239 at March 31, 2000. This decrease was caused by a net loss from operations of $8,479 for the first three months of 2000 and an increase in unrealized loss on securities available-for-sale of $4,360.

Total assets decreased minimally by $2,105 or .05% at March 31, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999. Cash and investments increased a total of $88,533 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 as a result of the receipt of funds related to the assumption by the Company of certain insurance obligations of another Mississippi property and casualty company which surrendered its charter during the first quarter of 2000.

        Total liabilities increased by $10,734 or .4% at March 31, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999. This increase was due primarily to an increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $123, 939 related to the Company’s assumption of certain insurance liabilities of another Mississippi property and casualty carrier which surrendered its license in the first quarter of 2000. This was offset by a decrease of $80,545 in unearned premiums and a reduction of $124, 622 in funds advanced under certain reinsurance contracts. Reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses increase by $92,515 as a result of the Company’s continuing analysis of the adequacy of insurance loss reserves.

Results of Operations - First Quarter, 2000 Compared to first Quarter, 1999

        The Company experienced a net loss of $8,479 during the first quarter of 2000 compared to net loss of $12,791 during the first quarter of 1999. This loss is due primarily to losses in the Company’s Arkansas claims administration subsidiary which began operations in early 1999. Stoneville Service Company provides claims services to third party self-funded workers’ compensation programs. The Company has recently acquired and continues to acquire additional customers which will significantly improve the net operating income of the Company. It is anticipated that this subsidiary will begin generating an operating profit during the second quarter of 2000.

        As a result of increased workers’ compensation premium written and assumed, earned premium during the first quarter of 1999 was $492,171 compared to $305,537 in 1998. Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $408,132 during the first quarter of 2000 compared to $222,769 in the same period in 1999. Other expenses directly associated with the Company’s insurance programs totaled $135,867 during the first quarter of 2000 compared to $84,383 in the first quarter of 1999. The increase in expenses directly related to insurance programs was due to increased business written in 2000.

The Company continues to concentrate on increasing administrative and claims servicing revenues. Revenue in the administrative and management service areas increase by $139,145 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Investment income of the Company increased slightly from $25,407 in the first quarter of 1999 to $26,204 in the first quarter of 2000. This was expected due to the consistency of the amount of funds available for investment during the periods.

9


        General expenses increased $80,999 during the first quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. This increase is a result of the Company’s efforts to improve its ability to handle an increased volume of administrative services and to legal fees associated with the Company’s assumption of certain insurance obligations of another Mississippi property and casualty insurance company which surrendered its license in early 2000. The Company believes that significant additional administrative fee revenue will be generated as a result of this assumption

        The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 in the amount of $4,360 compared to a tax benefit for the same quarter in 1999 of $6,372.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Due to the fact that workers’ compensation claims are paid over a long period of time, it is anticipated that cash flows from premiums collected will be sufficient to pay any insurance claims that arise during the remainder of 2000 and in the foreseeable future.

        As a workers’ compensation insurance carrier licensed in the State of Mississippi, the Company is subject to certain minimum capital and surplus requirements. In order to stay in compliance with these minimum requirements, the Company will be required to generate operating profits in 2000 or raise additional capital from other sources. The Company anticipates that its increased customer base will generate sufficient operating profits in 2000 to satisfy regulatory capital and surplus requirements. However, if such operating results are not attained, the Company will have to seek other sources of capital to allow it to maintain an adequate capital structure. The Company is not assured that such capital alternatives will be available if and when they are needed.
