MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)  Description of Business

    MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") is the holding company for MEEMIC Insurance Company and Subsidiary ("MEEMIC" or the "Company"), a Michigan-licensed property and casualty insurance company that operates as a single segment writing full coverage private passenger automobile protection and homeowner insurance products for educational employees and their immediate families exclusively in the State of Michigan. MEEMIC sells its insurance contracts through its wholly-owned subsidiary, MEEMIC Insurance Services Corp., d/b/a MEIA Insurance Agency, which is the exclusive distributor of the Company's products. On July 1, 1999 MEEMIC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings as a result of the conversion described in Note (6).

    In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and revenues and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

    The most significant estimates that are susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the losses and loss adjustment expense reserves. Although considerable variability is inherent in these estimates, management believes that the reserves are adequate. The estimates are reviewed regularly and adjusted as necessary. Such adjustments are reflected in current operations.

(2)  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X financial information. Accordingly, they have not been audited and they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations have been included. The operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

7

(3)  Stock Options

    The Company established a Stock Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan") under which 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock are available to grant incentive stock options. All terms and conditions of any grants under the Incentive Plan are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. As of July 1, 1999, options to purchase 280,000 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share, the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, were awarded to the directors and executive officers of MEEMIC.

(4)  Net Income Per Share

    Earnings per share were calculated by dividing net income per share by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted-average common shares used for determining basic income per common share were 6,599,500 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. The effect of dilutive stock options added 280,000 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 for the computation of diluted income per common share. The number of shares used to calculate earnings per share is based upon the assumption that the initial public offering took place on January 1, 1998. Earnings per share for periods prior to July 1, 1999 are provided for informational purposes only and should not be used or relied upon for any other purpose.

(5)  Related Party Transactions

    Effective April 7, 1997, Professionals Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: PICM) ("Professionals"), which is the parent of ProNational Insurance Company ("ProNational") signed a definitive agreement with the Company whereby:


    Professionals also provided MEEMIC with information system services and certain consulting services under a management services agreement. Fees for such services were $0 and $554,247 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Fees for such services were $1,065,534 and $1,547,300 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

8

    MEEMIC completed its conversion on July 1, 1999 and the $21.5 million surplus note of MEEMIC owned by Professionals was converted into shares of Holdings. After the conversion, Professionals now owns approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding shares of Holdings. In conjunction with the plan of conversion MEEMIC terminated its management services agreement and coinsurance treaty with Professionals on July 1, 1999. The registration statement of Holdings (Registration No. 333-66671) should be consulted for additional information concerning the conversion of MEEMIC and the role of Professionals.

    From July 1, 1997 to July 1, 1999 the Company had a coinsurance treaty with ProNational to cede 40 percent of its net retained premiums on a quota share basis. Ceding commissions were $468,402 and $3,225,601 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Ceding commissions were $7,222,340 and $9,491,276 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. A summary of reinsurance amounts that were ceded to ProNational for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 follows:

 
  Three months ended

  Nine months ended

Losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred   $ 501,259   $ 8,092,642   $ 16,097,418   $ 19,613,481

(6)  Conversion

    On June 24, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a plan of conversion for changing the corporate form of the Company from the mutual form to the stock form. Under the plan, eligible policyholders, officers and directors had the opportunity to acquire stock in Holdings, which would acquire all of the newly issued stock of the Company upon conversion. Prior to the conversion, Holdings did not engage in any significant operations and did not have assets or liabilities. On September 2, 1998, The Michigan Insurance Bureau concluded that MEEMIC's plan of conversion complied with applicable laws and approved such plan. On April 20, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by Holdings. The Company has also received a tax opinion regarding the tax treatment of the conversion as a tax-free reorganization.

    At a special policyholder meeting held on May 25, 1999, MEEMIC's plan of conversion was approved by policyholder vote. On July 1, 1999 MEEMIC converted to a stock insurance company and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. MEEMIC policyholders subscribed for 1,533,983 shares of common stock in MEEMIC Holdings. Also pursuant to the plan of conversion, Professionals converted the $21.5 million surplus note (plus accrued interest) of MEEMIC owned by Professionals into 2,302,209 shares of MEEMIC Holdings; and, Professionals has fulfilled its obligations as standby purchaser by purchasing an additional 2,763,308 shares in the subscription offering.

9

As a result, Professionals owns approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding shares of MEEMIC Holdings. Since July 2, 1999 MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. has been trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MEMH".

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

    Holdings was formed to be the holding company for MEEMIC after the conversion. Before the conversion, Holdings did not engage in any significant operations and is therefore not included in the following discussion. On July 1, 1999 the effective date of the conversion, MEEMIC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.

    The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this document and in Holdings' Form S-1 registration statement (Registration No. 333-66671).

Forward-Looking Statements

    This document contains forward-looking statements (as the term is defined in the federal securities laws) which involve risks and uncertainties. We have identified several important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from any such results discussed in the forward-looking information. All these factors are difficult to predict and many are beyond our control. These important factors include:


Overview

    MEEMIC provides private passenger automobile and homeowners insurance primarily to educational employees and their immediate families in the State of Michigan. MEEMIC sells its insurance contracts through over 90 sales representatives associated with the sales agency, which is the exclusive distributor of MEEMIC's products. As of September 30, 1999, we had 119,355 policies in force, representing 162,741 insured vehicles and 34,040 homeowner units.

Financial Condition—September 30, 1999 Compared to December 31, 1998

    Our total assets increased 13% to $270.3 million at September 30, 1999 from $239.3 million at December 31, 1998. The 13%, or $31 million, increase in total assets is primarily a result of the July 1, 1999 initial public offering and conversion of MEEMIC into a stock company. Net proceeds of the offering were $42,972,910 before offering costs of $700,000 and a donation to the MEEMIC Foundation of $500,000. After repayment of debt, the remaining net proceeds of $29.3 million were invested and used to support additional premium writings and business expansion.

    The majority of our assets consist of bonds, some preferred stocks, cash and short-term investments, that in total were $161.5 million at September 30, 1999 and $128.9 million at December 31, 1998. We primarily invest in high quality bonds with the objective of providing stable income while maintaining liquidity at appropriate levels for our current and long-term requirements. The portfolio consists primarily of government bonds, municipal bonds, collateralized mortgage obligations, and investment grade corporate bonds. The modified duration of investments was 3.78 years at September 30, 1999 compared to 2.7 years at December 31, 1998. At September 30, 1999, the portfolio had an average Standard & Poor's security quality rating of AA (Excellent), and there were no securities in default concerning the timely payment of interest and principal. Our gross unrealized gains and gross unrealized losses in investments in securities were $854,668 and $1,786,575, respectively, at September 30, 1999 and $2,870,316 and $69,568, respectively, at December 31, 1998. These changes in our gross unrealized gains and losses are a result of fluctuating bond market values due to volatility of interest rates in the marketplace.

    Our recorded estimates of losses and loss adjustment expense reserves were $96.1 million at September 30, 1999 compared to $92.3 million at December 31, 1998. The $3.8 million increase in reserves at September 30, 1999 was due to general allowances for growth in the number of insured vehicles and homeowner policies in force.

11

    Unearned premiums were $34.0 million at September 30, 1999 and $31.6 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in unearned premiums at September 30, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998 of 7.6% is attributable to the growth in premiums written.

    Other liabilities were $16.9 million at September 30, 1999 and $63.2 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in 1999 is due to repayments of liabilities related to the agency acquisition, the conversion of a $21.5 million surplus note with Professionals into MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. common stock, and repayment of liabilities for management and reinsurance agreements with Professionals that were terminated on July 1, 1999.

    Our shareholders' equity increased $71.1 million to $123.3 million at September 30, 1999 from $52.2 million at December 31, 1998. This increase was due to $42,272,910 received in net proceeds from MEEMIC's initial public offering, the conversion of the $21.5 million surplus note plus accrued interest of $1,522,090 into common stock, and net income of $8.2 million, which was offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income that consisted of unrealized losses on the investment portfolio of $2.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Description of Ratios Analyzed

    In the analysis of our results that follows, we refer to various financial ratios that investors use to analyze and compare the results of insurance companies. These ratios include:


Results of Operations—Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 1998

    Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $5.0 million compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Overall, our income from

12


operations before taxes and extraordinary item was $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The primary reason for the increase in income from operations before taxes and extraordinary item for the three month period ended September 30, 1999 over 1998 was the termination of the quota share agreement between MEEMIC and ProNational. Effective July 1, 1999 MEEMIC now retains approximately $45 million of annual premiums that had been ceded to ProNational on the quota share basis.

    Two significant items impacted net income for the three month period ended September 30, 1999. These items were anticipated as a result of MEEMIC's conversion and were also discussed in the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by Holdings. The first item was a donation to the MEEMIC Foundation of $500,000 in accordance with the plan of conversion. The second was an extraordinary item for early extinguishment of debt related to retirement of payable to former agency shareholders of $2,003,267.

    Our direct premiums written were $31.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $2.7 million, or 9.4%, compared to direct premiums written of $28.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Direct premiums written for automobile coverage were $27.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 6.6% compared to $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in auto premiums reflects policyholder growth and an increase in the value of autos being insured. The number of insured vehicles increased 4.6% to 162,741 at September 30, 1999 from 155,651 at September 30, 1998. Our homeowners business also continued to increase. Direct premiums written for homeowners were $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 34.5%, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in homeowners premiums was due to policyholder growth, a 7.6% rate increase that went into effect October 1, 1998 and an increase in the value of homes being insured. The number of homeowner policies in force increased 19.7% to 34,040 at September 30, 1999 from 28,435 at September 30, 1998.

    Net premiums written were $30.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 77.8% compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in net premiums written was primarily due to the cancellation of a 40% quota share reinsurance agreement with ProNational, in addition to the increase in direct premiums written. Net premiums earned were $29.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 79.9%, compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in net premiums earned was also a result of the cancellation of ProNational's reinsurance agreement, in addition to the business growth.

    Total losses and loss adjustment expenses were $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Overall, our loss ratio for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was 59.5% compared to 61.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The higher loss ratio for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to 1999 was due to the homeowner losses resulting from a July 1998 Michigan wind storm. The homeowner loss ratio for the third quarter 1999 was 50.0% and for the third quarter 1998 was 79.2%. The loss experience from auto business has remained stable. The auto liability loss ratio for the third quarter 1999 was 64.9% and for the third quarter 1998 was 62.8%. The auto physical damage loss ratio for the third quarter 1999 was 58.4% and for the third quarter 1998 was 58.5%. Our overall combined ratio was 86.9%

13

for three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 98.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

    Policy acquisition and underwriting expenses were $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $3.9 million for the same period of 1998. The underwriting expenses ratio decreased to 20.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1999, from 23.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease was due to the cancellation of the management services agreement on July 1, 1999. Previously, Professionals provided MEEMIC with consulting and information system management services at a fee of approximately $0.5 million each quarter.

    Net investment income, before interest expense and excluding realized investment gains, was $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. As a result of the surplus note conversion to common stock on July 1, 1999, there was no interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999. Interest expense on the surplus note was $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Gross realized gains were $0 and $34,948 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gross realized losses were $17,843 and $9,757 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The annualized total rate of return, which includes both income and changes in market value of securities, was 3.92% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and was 13.13% for the three months ended September 30, 1998. The reduction of the return in the third quarter 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 was due to a reduction in security market values resulting from higher interest rates.

Results of Operations—Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998

    Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $8.2 million compared to $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Overall, our income from operations before taxes and extraordinary item was $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The primary reason for the increase in income from operations before taxes and extraordinary item for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 over 1998 was the termination of the quota share agreement between MEEMIC and ProNational. Effective July 1, 1999, MEEMIC now retains approximately $45 million in annual premiums that had been ceded to ProNational on a quota share basis.

    Two significant items impacted net income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999. These were anticipated as a result of MEEMIC's conversion and were also discussed in the registration statement on Form S-1 filed by Holdings. The first item was a donation to the MEEMIC Foundation of $500,000 in accordance with the plan of conversion. The second was an extraordinary item for early extinguishment of debt related to retirement of payable to former agency shareholders of $2,196,124.

    Our direct premiums written were $91.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $7.1 million, or 8.4%, compared to direct premiums written of $84.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Direct premiums written for automobile coverage were $81.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 6.1% compared to $77.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in auto

14

premiums reflects policyholder growth and an increase in the value of autos being insured. The number of insured vehicles increased 4.6% to 162,741 at September 30, 1999 from 155,651 at September 30, 1998. Our homeowners business also continued to increase. Direct premiums written for homeowners were $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 34.7%, compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in homeowners premiums was due to policyholder growth, a 7.6% rate increase that went into effect October 1, 1998 and an increase in the value of homes being insured. The number of homeowner policies in force increased 19.7% to 34,040 at September 30, 1999 from 28,435 at September 30, 1998.

    Net premiums written were $65.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 32.2% compared to $49.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in net premiums written was primarily due to the cancellation of a 40% quota share reinsurance agreement with ProNational, in addition to the increase in direct premiums written. Net premiums earned were $63.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 32.1%, compared to $47.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in net premiums earned was also a result of the cancellation of ProNational's reinsurance agreement, in addition to the business growth.

    Total losses and loss adjustment expenses were $43.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $33.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Overall, our loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 59.8% compared to 59.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The higher loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to 1998 was due to the homeowner losses resulting from a January 1999 Michigan winter storm. The homeowner loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 89.0% compared to 86.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The loss experience from auto business has remained stable. The auto liability loss ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 54.4% compared to 55.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The auto physical damage loss ratio was 58.2% for both the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. Our overall combined ratio was 89.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 93.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

    Policy acquisition and underwriting expenses were $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The underwriting expenses ratio decreased to 20.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, from 22.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The reduction in 1999 was due primarily to higher deferred acquisition costs in 1997 that were expensed in 1998, compared to lower deferred acquisition costs in 1998 that were expensed in 1999. The decrease was also due to the cancellation on July 1, 1999 of the management services agreement with Professionals following MEEMIC's conversion to a stock company. Management fees were $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

    Net investment income, before interest expense and excluding realized investment gains, was $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Interest expense on the surplus note was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. As a result of the surplus note conversion to common stock on July 1, 1999 there was no interest expense for the third quarter of 1999. Gross realized gains

15

were $18,940 and $35,425 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Gross realized losses were $39,341 and $9,873 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The annualized total rate of return, which includes both income and changes in market value of securities, was 1.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and was 8.37% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The reduction of the return in the third quarter 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 was due to a reduction in security market values resulting from higher interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Our primary sources of cash are from premiums, investment income and proceeds from maturities of portfolio investments. The principal uses of cash are for payments of claims, commissions, taxes, operating expenses and purchases of investments. Cash flow and liquidity are managed in order to meet anticipated short-term payment obligations, and to maximize opportunities to earn interest on those funds not immediately required.

    The net increase in cash was $4,443,517 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $2,585,356 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The $1.9 million increase in cash reflects additional working capital retained after the completion of MEEMIC's conversion, Holdings' initial public offering and the repayment of substantially all debt related to the 1997 acquisition of MEEMIC's sales force agency. Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $7,018,850 compared to $11,600,282 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The $4.6 million difference in cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was primarily due to more loss and loss adjustment expenses being paid in 1999 compared to 1998 as a result of the January 1999 winter storm and the timing of payments for accrued expenses.

    MEEMIC completed its conversion to a stock company on July 1, 1999 to provide a source of capital for growth and expansion of its current auto and homeowner products, as well as provide capacity for new product lines. Pursuant to the plan of conversion, Professionals Group (Nasdaq: PICM) converted a surplus note into stock and fulfilled its obligations as a standby purchaser in MEEMIC Holdings, Inc.'s subscription offering. As a result, Professionals Group owns approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding shares of MEEMIC Holdings, Inc.

    Net proceeds of the offering were $42,972,910 before offering costs of $700,000 and a donation to the MEEMIC Foundation of $500,000. Of the proceeds received, $12.5 million was used to repay liabilities related to the 1997 acquisition of MEEMIC's sales force, and the remaining net proceeds of $29.3 million was invested in a portfolio of fixed maturities that are available for sale and that are expected to be used to support additional premium writings and business expansion. In addition, pursuant to the plan of conversion, Professionals Group converted the $21.5 million surplus note (plus accrued interest) into 2,302,209 shares at $10 per share of MEEMIC Holdings, and various agreements between Professionals Group, its wholly-owned subsidiary—ProNational Insurance Company (ProNational) and MEEMIC were terminated. The changes were as follows:


Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

    The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which is effective for fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 (as amended by SFAS No. 137). SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, the type of hedge transaction. As MEEMIC does not use derivative instruments, we anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not affect the results of operations or financial position of MEEMIC.

Year 2000 Compliance

    MEEMIC has completed an assessment of its computer programs and personal computer software and has determined that all significant systems are Year 2000 compliant. MEEMIC has incurred approximately $2 million for the purchase of a new computer system for business processing, enhancement of its telephone system, installation of new forms processing software and equipment and upgrading its financial reporting systems, and does not anticipate incurring additional remediation or assessment costs. MEEMIC has received written assurances from the third party vendors of such measures, equipment and software, that such items are Year 2000 compliant. The purchase of these new systems, which are expected to improve operating efficiencies, enabled MEEMIC to avoid incurring specific Year 2000 remediation expenses. Additionally, MEEMIC has conducted Year 2000 investigation and testing with its major third party vendors' software and hardware and has determined that all significant hardware and software is Year 2000 compliant. MEEMIC has completed its process of assessing Year 2000 readiness of the leased office space that MEEMIC occupies. While the office space has been represented as being Year 2000 compliant, no assurance can be given to that assessment. In the event that the office space is not Year 2000 compliant, MEEMIC will activate its offsite disaster recovery location, which has been determined to be Year 2000 compliant. While MEEMIC believes that Year 2000 compliance issues have been reasonably addressed, both internally and externally, no assurances can be given that all entities with whom MEEMIC does business will be Year 2000 compliant. The foregoing disclosure contains information regarding Year 2000 readiness which constitutes a "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" as defined in the Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure Act.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Management of Market Risk

    Market risk is the risk of loss due to adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates. The active management of interest rate risk is essential to our operations.

    We manage market risk through an investment committee consisting of senior officers of MEEMIC, consultants and a professional investment advisor. The committee periodically measures the impact that an instantaneous rise in interest rates would have on the fair value of securities. The committee also measures the duration, or interest rate sensitivity, of a fixed income security or portfolio. Our investment policy limits the duration of our portfolio to a maximum of 300% of the duration of our liabilities.

    We are vulnerable to interest rate risk because, like other insurance companies, we invest primarily in fixed maturity securities, which are interest-sensitive assets. The Company does not invest in fixed maturity securities for trading purposes. Mortgage-backed securities, which make up approximately 20% of our investment portfolio, are particularly susceptible to interest rate changes. We invest primarily in classes of mortgage-backed securities that are less subject to prepayment risk and, as a result, somewhat less susceptible to interest rate risk than other mortgage-backed securities.

    Our investment portfolio was valued at $151 million at September 30, 1999 and had a duration of 3.78 years. The following table shows the effects of a change in interest rate on the fair value and duration of our portfolio. We have assumed an immediate increase or decrease of 1% or 2% in interest rate. You should not consider this assumption or the values shown in the table to be a prediction of actual future results.

Change in Rates

-1%   $ 156,337   $ 5,206   3.41
-2%   $ 161,648   $ 10,517   3.23

    The other financial instruments, which include cash, premiums due from reinsurers and accrued investment income, do not produce a significant difference in fair value when included in the market risk analysis due to their short-term nature. The payable related to acquisition is not significantly affected by market risk as the discount rate for early extinguishment is fixed.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

    On July 1, 1999 MEEMIC converted to a stock insurance company and completed the offering of shares in MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MEMH), as contemplated by MEEMIC Holdings' registration statement on Form S-1 (registration no. 333-66671). Pursuant to that registration statement, which was declared effective on April 20, 1999, MEEMIC Holdings registered 4,297,791 shares of its common stock for sale under the Securities Act of 1933. MEEMIC Holdings sold 1,533,983 of these shares to MEEMIC policyholders for $15,339,830. It also sold 2,763,308 of these shares to Professionals Group, in its capacity as standby underwriter, for $27,633,080. In addition, pursuant to the plan of conversion, Professional Group converted the $21.5 million surplus note (plus accrued interest) of MEEMIC owned by Professionals Group into 2,302,209 shares of MEEMIC Holdings. As a result, Professionals Group purchased 5,065,517, or approximately 77%, of the 6,599,500 issued and outstanding shares of MEEMIC Holdings.

    The proceeds of the offering were $42,972,910, before offering costs of $700,000 and a donation to the MEEMIC Foundation of $500,000. Holdings' net proceeds from this offering, except $3 million, were exchanged for all of the capital stock of MEEMIC. The net proceeds retained by Holdings will be available for a variety of corporate purposes, including additional capital contributions, future acquisitions and diversification of business. MEEMIC used the $38.8 million of the net proceeds as follows: $12.5 million was used to repay debt related to the 1997 acquisition of MEEMIC's sales force agency and $26.3 million was invested in a portfolio of fixed maturities that are available for sale and that are expected to be used to support additional premium writings.
