PART I

Item 1. Business

General

    MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") was incorporated in Michigan in October 1998 and is the holding company for MEEMIC Insurance Company ("MEEMIC")(formerly "Michigan Educational Employees Mutual Insurance Company") and MEEMIC Insurance Services Corporation ("MEIA Agency"). Holdings conducts all of its operations through MEEMIC and its other subsidiary. On July 1, 1999, MEEMIC completed its conversion to a stock company and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Holdings common stock began trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MEMH" following the completion of the conversion. The principal office is located at 691 North Squirrel Road, Auburn Hills, Michigan 48321, and the telephone number is (888) 463-3642. Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to collectively in this report as the Company.

    MEEMIC, which began operations in 1950, is a Michigan-licensed property and casualty insurance company that provides personal lines insurance primarily to educational employees and their immediate families in the State of Michigan. Private passenger automobile protection is MEEMIC's primary line of business representing approximately 90% of all business written. As an accommodation to the auto business, MEEMIC also provides homeowners protection policies representing the remainder of the direct writings. As of December 31, 1999, MEEMIC had in excess of 120,000 policies in force, consisting of 161,133 insured vehicles and 35,309 homes.

Products

    MEEMIC offers private passenger automobile and homeowners insurance primarily to educational employees and their immediate families in Michigan, and has applied for licenses to begin operating in three additional states. We anticipate receiving a license from the state of Ohio during the second quarter of 2000, though there can be no assurance that any of the new licenses will be granted. MEEMIC operates as a single segment where private passenger automobile is the primary line, and homeowners coverages are offered as an accommodation product. The following table sets forth the direct premiums written, net premiums earned and net loss ratios by product for the periods indicated. The ratios are explained in "Item 7—Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

    Personal Automobile.  MEEMIC's personal automobile policy provides policyholders with protection against claims resulting from bodily injury and property liability and automobile physical damage. When sold in conjunction with a homeowners policy, MEEMIC provides a multi-policy discount. As of December 31, 1999, MEEMIC had 85,545 personal automobile policies in force.

    Homeowners.  MEEMIC entered the homeowners market in Michigan in 1992 with a multi-peril policy for homeowners, condominium owners and renters. The homeowners policy, in addition to insuring the policyholders' primary residence, provides optional coverage for seasonal homes and dwellings under construction. As of December 31, 1999, MEEMIC had 35,309 homeowner policies in force.

    New Products.  On March 1, 2000, MEEMIC began offering a personal line umbrella policy covering excess liability up to $5 million and a boat policy.

Marketing

    MEEMIC markets its products through over 90 sales representatives associated with our sales agency, MEIA Agency, which is the exclusive distributor of our products. The representatives are unique in that most of them also belong to the educational community and are engaged in peer selling.

    Although we underwrite approximately 90% of the business produced by our sales agency, the agency represents and receives sales commissions from other insurance carriers which do business in Michigan. In general, these carriers offer products that MEEMIC does not currently offer, or insure a class of business that does not meet MEEMIC's underwriting guidelines. By offering complementary insurance products through other companies, MEEMIC's policyholders have the convenience of being able to purchase a full range of insurance products through a single agent. We benefit by having a base of potential customers for products we may intend to offer in the future.

    The agency conducts quarterly meetings with its sales representatives, establishes benchmarks and goals, conducts technical training and sponsors continuing education programs. The agency representatives provide important information to us about the marketplace and needs of our customers. This information is used to develop new products and new product features. The agency recruits and trains new sales representatives to work in underserviced areas of the state. MEEMIC pays a fixed commission to the agency, which in turn pays its sales representatives a fixed base commission with some opportunity for a contingent bonus, based upon the agent's production.

    During 1999, one sales representative accounted for over 5.1% of direct premiums written by MEEMIC. No other sales representative accounted for more than 5% of direct premiums written. The top 10 representatives accounted for 35% of direct premiums written during the year.

    MEEMIC provides personal computer software that allows sales representatives to quote rates for homeowners and personal auto insurance. In addition, we have a home page on the internet for the public that is periodically updated with pertinent information on MEEMIC, its products, and how to locate a sales representative.

Underwriting

    We rely to a significant degree on information provided by our sales representatives in underwriting risks. Agency representatives have the authority to bind coverage for a thirty-day period. The majority of the representatives are involved with the educational community in a teaching capacity. This enhances the representatives' ability to act as field underwriters and pre-screen applicants.

    We evaluate and accept applications for insurance based on consistently applied underwriting guidelines. MEEMIC's processing system provides modifications for some of these guidelines and underwriting supervisors regularly audit the work of individual underwriters to ensure adherence to our

4


guidelines. Our 26 underwriters monitor policyholder deviations from the underwriting guidelines to assist in decisions related to cancellation and non-renewal.

Claims

    In responding to claims, we emphasize timely investigation, evaluation and fair settlement while controlling claims expense and maintaining adequate reserves. A staff of 61 experienced individuals provide prompt service with a caring attitude to policyholders and other claimants. Their commitment to quality service has proven to be a strong marketing tool for agency sales representatives.

    While the claims operation is centralized in Auburn Hills, Michigan, several multi-line resident adjusters are located in cities throughout Michigan. We have also established a network of automobile glass and body shops that provide damage appraisals and repairs according to established company guidelines. Independent adjusters are used when claim volume rises. A reinspection audit program ensures that repairs are completed timely, economically and to the satisfaction of the policyholder.

    Audits of liability claim files are conducted regularly by claims department managers and reinsurers. Less than 1% of all claims result in litigation. The majority of litigation is handled by MEEMIC's in-house legal counsel and monitored by the claims department.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

    MEEMIC is required by applicable insurance laws and regulations to maintain reserves for payment of losses and loss adjustment expenses for reported claims and for claims incurred but not reported, arising from policies that have been issued. These laws and regulations require that we provide for the ultimate cost of those claims without regard to how long it takes to settle them or the time value of money. The determination of reserves involves actuarial and statistical projections of what we expect to be the cost of the ultimate settlement and administration of such claims based on facts and circumstances then known, estimates of future trends in claims severity, and other variable factors such as inflation and changing judicial theories of liability.

    The estimation of ultimate liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses is an inherently uncertain process and does not represent an exact calculation of that liability. Our current reserve policy recognizes this uncertainty by maintaining reserves at a level providing for the possibility of adverse development relative to the estimation process. We do not discount our reserves to recognize the time value of money.

    When a claim is reported to MEEMIC, claims personnel establish a "case reserve" for the estimated amount of the ultimate payment. This estimate reflects an informed judgment based upon general insurance reserving practices and on the experience and knowledge of the estimator regarding the nature and value of the specific claim, the severity of injury or damage, and the policy provisions relating to the type of loss. Case reserves are periodically adjusted by the claims staff as more information becomes available.

    We maintain reserves for claims incurred but not reported to provide for future reporting of already incurred claims and developments on reported claims. The reserve for claims incurred but not reported is determined by estimating our ultimate liability for both reported and non-reported claims and then subtracting the case reserves for reported claims.

    Each quarter, we compute our estimated liability using principles and procedures applicable to the lines of business written. The establishment of loss reserves is an inherently uncertain process, there can be no assurance that losses will not exceed our loss reserves. Adjustments in aggregate reserves, if any, are reflected in the operating results of the period during which such adjustments are made. As required by insurance regulatory authorities, we receive a statement of opinion by our appointed

5


actuary concerning the adequacy of statutory reserves. The results of these actuarial studies have consistently indicated that our reserves are adequate.

    The following table provides a reconciliation of beginning and ending loss and loss adjustment expenses reserve balances of MEEMIC for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, as prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

    Management has reduced reserves for prior accident years at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 by $6,964,000 $3,622,000 and $6,752,000, respectively. In 1994, the State of Michigan enacted legislative tort reform effective in 1996. These tort reform measures resulted in a significant increase in the number of claims reported to us in 1996 from attorneys attempting to file claims prior to the effective date of the new tort reform act. This changed the reporting pattern of claims and made it difficult for management to analyze data for reserves. The difficulty in analyzing the data along with the uncertainties of the effects of the new laws required management to establish higher reserves than it ordinarily would. As time has passed, the data and effects of the tort reform act have stabilized and management has reduced reserves related to prior accident years accordingly.

    The following table shows the development of the net liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses from 1990 through 1999 for MEEMIC. The top line of the table shows the original estimated liabilities at the balance sheet date, including losses incurred but not yet reported. The upper portion of the table shows the cumulative amounts subsequently paid as of successive years with respect to the liability. The lower portion of the table shows the re-estimated amount of the previously recorded liability based on experience as of the end of each succeeding year. The estimates change as claims settle and more information becomes known about the ultimate frequency and severity of claims for individual years. The redundancy (deficiency) exists when the re-estimated liability at each December 31 is less (greater) than the prior liability estimate. The "cumulative redundancy"

6


(deficiency) depicted in the table, for any particular calendar year represents the aggregate change in the initial estimates over all subsequent calendar years.

    In evaluating the information in the table above, it should be noted that each column includes the effects of changes in amounts for prior periods. The table does not present accident year or policy year development data. Conditions and trends that have affected the development of liabilities in the past may not necessarily occur in the future. Accordingly, it may not be appropriate to extrapolate future redundancies or deficiencies based on this table.

    As shown in the reserve development table, reserves established at year end 1994 through 1998 developed positively, or lower than expected. In 1990 to 1993, we reserved at the low end of the recommended actuarial range of estimates. During 1994, we began to state reserves on a more conservative basis by reserving above the midpoint of the actuarial range of reserve estimates. The change in reserving philosophy was necessary as the reserves established at the low end of the range for 1990 through 1993 had proven to be deficient. The change, which added $3.6 million to overall reserve levels, was not a change in actuarial methods, but rather a change in management estimates. The reserves estimated in both the earlier years and current years were stated within actuarially determined

7


ranges. Statutory accounting principles require reserves to be reported on a net basis—i.e. after reinsurance. Generally accepted accounting principles require reserves to be reported on a gross basis—i.e. before reinsurance, with a corresponding asset established for the reinsurance recoverable. When compared on either a gross or net basis, the statutory and GAAP reserves are identical.

Reinsurance Ceded

    In accordance with industry practice, we transfer, or cede, to other insurance companies some of our potential liability under insurance policies we have underwritten. This practice helps us


    As payment for sharing a portion of our risk, we are also required to share a part of the premium we receive on the related policies. Transferring or ceding insurance liability to another insurance company is called "reinsurance."

    MEEMIC determines the amount and scope of reinsurance coverage to purchase each year based upon an evaluation of the risks accepted, consultations with reinsurance brokers and a review of market conditions, including the availability and pricing of reinsurance. For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, MEEMIC ceded to reinsurers $26.8 million and $47.1 million of earned premiums, respectively. The decrease of $20.3 million in amounts ceded to reinsurers for the year ended December 31, 1999 over 1998 was due to the termination of a quota share agreement between MEEMIC and ProNational Insurance Company, or ProNational, which owns 77% of Holdings' common stock, effective July 1, 1999.

    MEEMIC's reinsurance arrangements are generally renegotiated annually. Coverages described herein were in place for 1999.

    MEEMIC's largest net insured amount on any risk is $150,000. Individual property risks in excess of $150,000 are covered on an excess of loss basis up to $1,000,000 per risk. Casualty risks that are in excess of $150,000 are covered on an excess of loss basis, up to $3,000,000 per occurrence. Additionally, the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association, or MCCA, provides wage loss and unlimited lifetime medical coverage in excess of $250,000 per occurrence for personal injury losses.

    Catastrophic reinsurance protects the ceding insurer from significant aggregate loss exposure arising from a single event such as windstorm, hail, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, riot, blizzard, freezing temperatures or other extraordinary events. We have purchased catastrophe reinsurance for automobile physical damage and homeowners property damage in four layers up to $13,500,000 in excess of $500,000 with each layer subject to a retention of 5%.

    From July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1999, we had a quota share reinsurance arrangement with ProNational under which we retained 60% and ceded 40% of our liability remaining after the effects of our other reinsurance contracts. This arrangement increased our underwriting capacity and protected us from high frequency and low severity type losses. We paid ProNational a reinsurance premium equal to 40% of premiums collected net of other reinsurance costs. Reinsurance premiums due ProNational were reduced by an amount equal to our actual expenses, or approximately 30% of the reinsurance premium. Although quota share reinsurance reduces our risk of loss, it also reduces our potential underwriting profits. The quota share agreement with ProNational was cancelled, effective July 1, 1999 as a result of the increase in MEEMIC's underwriting capacity due to the conversion.

    The following table identifies our principal reinsurers, their percentage participation in our aggregate reinsured risk based upon premiums paid by MEEMIC during 1999 and their respective A. M. Best ratings as of December 31, 1999. A.M. Best classifies "A" and "A-" ratings as "Excellent" and "A++" ratings as "Superior". Continental Casualty Company was rated "A" by A.M. Best in 1999 and was recently changed by A.M. Best to an "NR-3" rating, or not rated, due to changes in the reinsurer's business lines. For 2000 we have replaced the Continental Casualty Company with Gerling Global Reins Corp (rated "A") as one of MEEMIC's principal reinsurers. Other than the entities listed below, no single reinsurer's percentage participation in 1999 exceeded 3% of total ceded reinsurance premiums:

    We annually review the financial stability of all of our reinsurers. This review includes a ratings analysis of each reinsurer participating in a reinsurance contract. On the basis of this review, as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, we concluded that there was no material risk of not being paid by our reinsurers. No material difficulties have been experienced by us in collecting amounts due from reinsurers. We believe that our reinsurance is maintained with financially stable reinsurers and that any reinsurance security we have is adequate to protect our interests. However, our inability to collect on our reinsurance, or the inability of our reinsurers to make payments under the terms of reinsurance, due to insolvency or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations and financial condition.

    The MCCA is an unincorporated nonprofit association created by Michigan law. Every insurer engaged in writing personal protection insurance coverage in Michigan is required to be a member of the MCCA. Although the MCCA acts in the same manner as a reinsurer, it is not an insurance company and hence is not rated by A.M. Best.

    Michigan law provides that the MCCA assessments charged to member companies for the reinsurance protection can be recognized in the rate-making process and passed on to policyholders. MCCA covers all personal injury losses incurred by MEEMIC and all other member companies in excess of $250,000. Member companies of the MCCA are charged an annual assessment, based on the number of vehicles for which coverage is written, to cover the losses reported by all member companies. Accordingly, there is no direct relationship between the annual premiums and losses ceded to MCCA. The MCCA requires large reserves to cover Michigan's lifetime medical benefits, which are paid out over many years. We review the actuarial projections provided by the MCCA to monitor its solvency. It is estimated that the MCCA currently has in excess of a $1 billion surplus.

Investments

    All of our investment securities are classified as available-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115.

    An important component of our operating results has been the return on invested assets. Our investment objective is to maximize current returns while maintaining safety of capital together with adequate liquidity for our insurance operations. As of December 31, 1999, 100% of our investment portfolio consisted of investment grade fixed income securities and short-term investments. Approximately 68.7% of our fixed income portfolio was rated AAA by Standard & Poor's as of December 31, 1999, and the portfolio had an average credit quality rating of AA. Our investments are managed by an outside investment advisor.

    The following table sets forth information concerning our investments. In our financial statements, investments are carried at fair value as established by quoted market prices on secondary markets. The cost column in the table represents the original cost of preferred stock and the original cost of fixed income securities as adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount.

    The average duration of our fixed maturity investments, including collateralized and asset backed securities which are subject to paydown, as of December 31, 1999, was 3.97 years. As a result, the market value of our investments may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates. In addition, we may experience investment losses to the extent our liquidity needs require the disposition of fixed maturity securities in unfavorable interest rate environments.

    Our net investment income, the annualized and tax equivalent total rates of return which include both income and changes in the market value of securities, and the weighted average tax equivalent book yield for the three years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:

Weighted average tax equivalent book yield     6.93 %   6.83 %   7.08 %

    The reduced returns in 1999 compared to 1998 and 1997 were due to a reduction in security market values resulting from higher interest rates.

A. M. Best Rating

    A. M. Best Company, which rates insurance companies, currently assigns an "A-" (Excellent) rating (its fourth highest rating category out of 15 categories) to MEEMIC. A. M. Best assigns "A" or "A-" ratings to companies which, in its opinion, have demonstrated excellent overall performance when compared to the standards established by A. M. Best. Companies rated "A" and "A-" have a strong ability to meet their obligations to policyholders over a long period of time. In evaluating our financial and operating performance, A. M. Best reviews our profitability, leverage and liquidity, as well as our book of business, the adequacy and soundness of our reinsurance, the quality and estimated market value of our assets, the adequacy of our loss reserves, the adequacy of our surplus, our capital structure, the experience and competency of our management and our market presence. A.M. Best ratings are based on factors of concern to policyholders and are not directed toward the protection of investors. No assurance can be given that A. M. Best will not reduce our current rating in the future.

Competition

    The property and casualty insurance business is highly competitive. We have many Michigan-based competitors, as well as competitors from other states, for our insurance products. Some of these competitors are larger and have much greater financial, technical and operating resources than we have. We compete primarily based on the following factors:

11


    Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, many of which are out of our control, such as market conditions, A.M. Best and other ratings, and regulatory conditions.

Insurance Regulatory Matters

    General.  Insurance companies are subject to supervision and regulation in the states in which they transact business relating to numerous aspects of their business and financial condition. The primary purpose of this supervision and regulation is to protect policyholders. The extent of such regulation varies, but generally derives from state statutes which delegate regulatory, supervisory and administrative authority to state insurance departments.

    Michigan insurance companies such as MEEMIC are subject to supervision and regulation by the Michigan Insurance Bureau. The authority of the Bureau includes:


    The Bureau also requires the filing of annual and other reports relating to the financial condition of insurance companies doing business in Michigan. Additionally, Holdings is subject to regulation as an insurance holding company because of its ownership of MEEMIC.

    Examinations are regularly conducted by the Bureau every three to five years. The Bureau's last examination of MEEMIC was as of December 31, 1997. This examination did not result in any adjustments to the financial position of MEEMIC. In addition, there were no substantive qualitative matters indicated in the examination report that had a material adverse impact on the operations of MEEMIC.

    Risk-Based Capital Requirements.  In addition to state-imposed insurance laws and regulations, the Bureau administers the requirements adopted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, or NAIC, that require insurance companies to calculate and report information under a risk-based formula that attempts to measure capital and surplus needs based on the risks in a company's mix of products and investment portfolio. Under the formula, we first determine our risk-based capital base level by taking into account risks with respect to our assets and underwriting risks relating to our liabilities and obligations. We then compare our "total adjusted capital" to the base level. Our "total adjusted capital" is determined by subtracting our liabilities from our assets in accordance with rules established by the Bureau.

12


    The following table highlights the ramifications of the various ranges of non-compliance. The ratios represent the relationship of a company's total adjusted capital to its risk-based capital base level.

Ratio and Category

  Action
 
2.0 or more
 
 
 
None—in compliance
1.5-1.99: Company Action   Company must submit a comprehensive plan to regulatory authority discussing proposed corrective actions to improve the capital position
1.0-1.49: Regulatory Action   Regulatory authority will perform a special examination of the company and issue an order specifying corrective actions that must be taken
0.7-0.99: Authorized Control   Regulatory authority may take any action it deems necessary, including placing the company under regulatory control
Less than 0.7: Mandatory Control   Regulatory authority is required to place the company under regulatory control

    MEEMIC's ratio has always exceeded 2.0 in the past, but there can be no assurance that the requirements applicable to MEEMIC will not increase in the future. As of December 31, 1999, MEEMIC's risk-based capital base level was $6.1 million and its total adjusted capital was $74.6 million yielding a ratio of 12.2.

    IRIS Requirements.  The NAIC has also developed a set of financial ratios, referred to as the Insurance Regulatory Information System, or IRIS, for use by state insurance regulators in monitoring the financial condition of insurance companies. The NAIC has established an acceptable range of values for each of the IRIS financial ratios. Generally, an insurance company will become the subject of increased scrutiny when four or more of its IRIS ratio results fall outside the range deemed acceptable by the NAIC. The nature of increased regulatory scrutiny resulting from IRIS ratio results outside the acceptable range is subject to the judgment of the applicable state insurance department, but generally will result in accelerated review of annual and quarterly filings. Depending on the nature and severity of the underlying cause of the IRIS ratio results being outside the acceptable range, increased regulatory scrutiny could range from increased but informal regulatory oversight to placing a company under regulatory control.

    For 1997, all of our results were within the acceptable range for any IRIS tests. For 1998, MEEMIC's investment yield was marginally outside the acceptable range. Under statutory accounting, interest expense on the surplus note was treated as a reduction in investment income, causing the low value.

    For 1999, MEEMIC had two items outside the acceptable range. The two "unusual values" resulted from a large increase in both net writings and surplus. The change in net writings was outside the acceptable range as a result of the quota share agreement with ProNational being cancelled on July 1, 1999, which allowed MEEMIC to retain a greater portion of its own business. The change in

13


surplus was outside the acceptable range as a result of the increase in surplus which resulted from the proceeds from the conversion on July 1, 1999. For 1999, our IRIS ratios were as follows:

11   Estimated Current Reserve Deficiency to Surplus   25       -4.5

    Guaranty Fund.  We participate in the Property and Casualty Guaranty Association of the State of Michigan ("Association"), which protects policyholders and claimants against losses due to insolvency of insurers. When an insolvency occurs, the Association is authorized to assess member companies up to the amount of the shortfall of funds, including expenses. Member companies are assessed based on the type and amount of insurance written during the previous calendar year. MEEMIC makes accruals for its portion of assessments when notified of assessments by the Association.

    Holding Company Regulation.  Most states, including Michigan, have enacted legislation that regulates insurance holding company systems. Each insurance company in a holding company system is required to register with the insurance supervisory agency of its state of domicile and furnish information concerning the operations of companies within the holding company system that may materially affect the operations, management or financial condition of the insurers within the system. These laws permit the Bureau and any other relevant insurance departments to examine MEEMIC, Holdings and their respective insurance subsidiaries at any time, to require disclosure of material transactions between MEEMIC, Holdings and Professionals Group, Inc. (the parent company of ProNational), or Professionals, and to require prior approval of transactions, such as extraordinary dividends from MEEMIC to Holdings. All transactions within the holding company system between MEEMIC, Holdings, Professionals and their respective subsidiaries must be fair and equitable. Under Michigan law, the maximum dividend that may be paid by MEEMIC to Holdings during any twelve-month period without prior regulatory approval of the Bureau is the greater of 10% of MEEMIC's statutory surplus as reported on the most recent annual statement filed with the Bureau, and the net income of MEEMIC for the period covered by such annual statement. As of December 31, 1999, the amount available for payment of dividends in year 2000 without prior regulatory approval of the Bureau is approximately $8.7 million.

    Change in Control.  The Insurance Code requires that the Insurance Commissioner receive prior notice of and approve a change of control for either MEEMIC or Holdings. The Insurance Code contains a complete definition of "control." In simplified terms, a person, corporation, or other entity would obtain "control" of MEEMIC or Holdings if they possessed, had a right to acquire possession, or had the power to direct any other person acquiring possession, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting securities of either company. To obtain approval for a change of control, the proposed acquirer must file an application with the Insurance Commissioner containing detailed information such

14


as the identity and background of the acquirer and its affiliates, the sources of and amount of funds to be used to effect the acquisition, and financial information regarding the proposed acquirer. The Insurance Commissioner has approved Professionals' acquisition of control over MEEMIC and Holdings.

    Michigan No-Fault Automobile Insurance.  Under a pure no-fault automobile insurance system, responsibility for an automobile accident is not at issue. Each policyholder's own insurance company pays for his or her medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident, and the individuals relinquish the right to sue to recover damages. The objective of such a system is to eliminate the delays and costs of court disputes associated with the tort system, encourage prompt payment of compensation and return a larger percentage of insurance premium dollars to accident victims. No state has yet adopted a pure no-fault system.

    Michigan's modified no-fault system, originally enacted in 1973, limits lawsuits relating to automobile accidents. For example, a suit for damages is permitted under Michigan's no-fault law when an injured person has suffered death, permanent serious disfigurement or serious impairment of bodily function. Damages are assessed on the basis of comparative fault, except that damages will not be assessed in favor of a party who is more than 50% at fault.

    Michigan's no-fault law also requires insurers to provide unlimited medical coverage to automobile accident victims. The cost of providing such unlimited medical coverage has somewhat offset the savings typically associated with a non-monetary threshold. In response, the MCCA was established to spread the costs of medical coverage to all policyholders. The MCCA essentially acts as a reinsurer for all Michigan automobile insurers, reimbursing for amounts paid on personal injury protection claims in excess of $250,000. Participation is required for all Michigan-licensed automobile and motorcycle insurers.

    The Michigan Essential Insurance Act.  The Essential Insurance Act requires an insurer to insure every applicant for automobile insurance who meets the minimum requirements and the insurer's underwriting rules. The underwriting rules must be applied uniformly to all applicants and policyholders. Each insurer must file its underwriting rules with the Insurance Commissioner. In addition, the Essential Insurance Act also limits rating criteria that insurers may employ, requires insurers to develop a "secondary" or merit rating plan under which premium surcharges are levied on poor drivers, establishes a joint underwriting association to provide insurance to individuals who cannot obtain coverage in the insurance market and regulates other types of coverages and informational requirements.

    According to the provisions of the Essential Insurance Act, insurers whose statutory surplus as of December 31, 1979 was $4,000,000 or less could file for an exemption. MEEMIC filed and received an exemption from the provisions of the Essential Insurance Act. We cannot predict whether MEEMIC's exemption from the Essential Insurance Act will be continued.

Employees

    As of December 31, 1999, we had 205 employees. None of the employees are covered by a collective bargaining unit and we believe that employee relations are good.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

    The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company contains certain forward-looking statements relating to anticipated future financial conditions and operating results of the Company and its current business plans. In the future, the financial condition and operating results of the Company could differ materially from those discussed herein and its current business plans could be altered in response to market conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences or changes include those discussed elsewhere in this report. See the disclosures under "Item 1—Business—Forward Looking Statements".

Overview

    MEEMIC provides private passenger automobile and homeowners insurance primarily to educational employees and their immediate families in the State of Michigan. On July 1, 1999 MEEMIC completed its conversion to a stock company, changed its name to MEEMIC Insurance Company and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Pursuant to the plan of conversion, Professionals converted the $21.5 million surplus note of MEEMIC owned by ProNational into stock and fulfilled its obligations as a standby purchaser in the conversion. After the conversion, Professionals, through ProNational, owns approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding shares of Holdings.

    MEEMIC sells its insurance contracts through over 90 sales representatives associated with MEIA Agency, which is the exclusive distributor of MEEMIC's products. On September 22, 1997, MEEMIC purchased the operations of its exclusive sales agency, including the exclusive right to sell and market MEEMIC products, and formed MEIA Agency. On December 30, 1999 upon approval from the Michigan Insurance Bureau, MEEMIC paid a dividend consisting of MEIA Agency to Holdings. This dividend rearranged the organizational structure of Holdings, such that MEEMIC and MEIA Agency are sister corporations as opposed to a parent/subsidiary relationship. As of December 31, 1999, we had over 120,000 policies in force, representing 161,133 insured vehicles and 35,309 homeowner units.

Financial Condition

    Our total assets increased to $274.6 million at December 31, 1999 from $239.3 million at December 31, 1998. The 14.8% increase in total assets is primarily a result of the conversion and related subscription offering. See the discussion under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for further details.

    The majority of our assets consist of bonds, real estate, some preferred stocks, cash and short-term investments that in total were $168.4 million at December 31, 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 3.97 years at December 31, 1999 compared to 2.7 years at December 31, 1998. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 $488,000 and $3.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 1999 and $2.9 million and $70,000, 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 loss and loss adjustment expense reserves were $96.0 million at December 31, 1999 compared to $92.3 million at December 31, 1998. The $3.7 million increase in reserves for 1999 and the $7.4 million increase in reserves for 1998 are attributable to general

22


allowances for growth in the number of insured vehicles and homeowner policies in force. Reserves for losses incurred prior to 1999 were reduced by $7.0 million during 1999 as a result of favorable development in estimates of prior years' reserves on auto liability. Reserves for losses incurred prior to 1998 were reduced by $3.6 million during 1998. This was caused by the unanticipated reduction in the frequency of claims. We believe this reduction resulted from the 1994 legislative tort reforms in the State of Michigan which reduced the frequency and shortened the reporting pattern of claims. As additional data subsequent to the tort reform emerges, we anticipate greater stability and accuracy in the reserve estimates. Uncertainties inherent in the loss estimation process will invariably cause differences in actual ultimate liabilities from estimates. Aggregate loss reserves at December 31, 1999 and 1998 have been certified by an independent actuarial firm and are believed to be a reasonable provision for all unpaid loss and loss expense obligations under the terms of MEEMIC's policies and agreements.

    At December 31, 1999 and 1998 unearned premiums were $34.1 million and $31.6 million, respectively. The increase of 7.9% in unearned premiums at December 31, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998 was comparable to the growth in premiums written.

    Other liabilities at December 31, 1999 were $17.3 million, compared to $63.2 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in 1999 was primarily due to repayments of liabilities related to the agency acquisition of $17.1 million, the conversion of the $21.5 million surplus note with Professionals into Holdings common stock, and the cancellation of the quota share reinsurance agreement with ProNational effective July 1, 1999. Additionally, the liabilities at December 31, 1998 included $1.8 million for interest on the $21.5 million surplus note that was repaid on July 1, 1999 in conjunction with MEEMIC's conversion to a stock company.

    Shareholders' equity increased by 244% to $127.2 million at December 31, 1999, compared to $52.2 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily due to the $65.3 million capital infusion as a result of the conversion and related subscription offering. The Company also had net income of $13.3 million in 1999 which contributed to the increase, but the increase was offset in part by a $3.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, consisting of net unrealized losses on the investment portfolio during the year ended December 31, 1999. See "Results of Operations—Year Ended December 31, 1999 compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998." We expect to use retained earnings to increase the Company's capital base and finance future growth and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

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:

23


Results of Operations—Year Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998

    Net income for 1999 was $13.3 million compared to $8.4 million for 1998. The primary reasons for the increase in net income for 1999 compared to 1998 were the termination of the quota share agreement between MEEMIC and ProNational, the repayment of the $21.5 million surplus note and the $17.1 million agency acquisition debt, and the cancellation of the management agreement with Professionals, all of which occurred in July 1999 in connection with the conversion. Effective July 1, 1999, MEEMIC now retains approximately $45 million in additional annual premiums that had been ceded to ProNational. Expenses relating to interest on the surplus note and management fees to Professionals decreased to $2.3 million in 1999 compared to $3.9 million in 1998. The cancellation of the management services agreement is expected to increase our after tax earnings by approximately $1 million annually. As a result of repaying debt related to the agency acquisition, the Company had a net extraordinary gain on early extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million in 1999 and $200,000 in 1998.

    Our combined ratio was 88.1% for 1999 compared to 87.6% for 1998. Our income from operations was $17.3 million for 1999 compared to $12.2 million for 1998, and the after-tax return on equity was 25.5% in 1999 compared to 19.3% in 1998. This increase in income for 1999 over 1998 was primarily due to the changes noted above in connection with the conversion. Overall, our loss ratio for 1999 was 58.4%, compared to 56.6% for 1998. The auto liability loss ratio for 1999 was 52.4%, compared to 47.5% for 1998, and the auto physical damage loss ratio for 1999 and 1998 remained constant at 58.5%. The homeowner loss ratio was 77.4% for 1999, compared to 79.1% for 1998. The mild weather conditions for both 1999 and 1998 have resulted in fewer reported claims.

    Our other underwriting expenses ratio increased slightly to 20.5% for 1999, compared to 19.8% for 1998. During 1999 and the beginning of 2000, MEEMIC has increased its investments in technology to support future growth. MEEMIC purchased a new computer system and a large-scale mailer machine, developed a new automatic deposit payment system for billing and has started to implement a voice response unit for routine billing calls.

    Net investment income before interest expense was $8.3 million for 1999 compared to $7.0 million for 1998. The increase in net investment income before interest expense was due to increases in invested assets from proceeds of the conversion and related subscription offering and positive cash flow from operations. Interest expense on the surplus note was $906,000 for 1999 and $1.8 million for 1998. As a result of the surplus note conversion to common stock on July 1, 1999, there was no interest expense for the second half of 1999. Consistent with 1998, investment income for 1999 was earned primarily from interest income and not from realized capital gains and losses. The tax equivalent total rate of return, which includes both income and changes in market value of securities, was 2.72% for 1999 and was 7.49% for 1998. The reduced return in 1999 compared to 1998 was due to a reduction in security market values resulting from higher interest rates. The weighted average tax equivalent book yield of the fixed maturity portfolio was 6.93% for 1999, compared to 6.83% for 1998.

    Total direct premiums written increased to $122.4 million in 1999 from $113.3 million in 1998. Our direct written premiums have increased 8.0% in 1999 due to policyholder growth and a 7.6% homeowner rate increase that went into effect October 1, 1998. With the continued growth in our homeowners business, our product mix in terms of exposures by line is now 18% homeowners and 82% personal automobile. Net premiums written in 1999 increased to $95.6 million, or 44.4% from 1998. The increase in net premiums written for 1999 was primarily attributable to the cancellation of a 40% quota share reinsurance agreement with ProNational and the increase in direct premiums written. Net premiums earned for 1999 were $93.0 million compared to $64.0 million for 1998. The 45.3% increase in net premiums earned in 1999 is also a result of the quota share cancellation whereby fewer premiums were ceded in 1999 than in 1998.

    Direct premiums written during 1999 for automobile coverage increased 5.9% to $109.6 million, from $103.5 million in 1998. The number of insured vehicles increased 3.8% to 161,133 at December 31, 1999 from 155,211 at December 31, 1998.

24


    Our homeowners premiums written also continued to increase. Direct premiums written during 1999 for homeowners increased 31.2% to $12.8 million, from $9.8 million in 1998. The number of homeowner policies in force increased 18.9% to 35,309 at December 31, 1999 from 29,699 at December 31, 1998.

Results of Operations—Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997

    Net income for 1998 was $8.4 million compared to $6.6 million for 1997. MEEMIC's surplus increased by over 20% to $52.2 million at December 31, 1998. In 1997 MEEMIC's policyholder surplus also increased by over 20% to $43.3 million at December 31, 1997. Expenses relating to interest on the surplus note and management fees to Professionals amounted to $3.9 million in 1998 compared to $2.3 million in 1997.

    Our combined ratio improved for the fourth consecutive year and was 87.6% for 1998 compared to 94.3% for 1997. Our income from operations was $12.2 million for 1998 compared to $9.3 million for 1997, and the after-tax return on equity was 19.3% in 1998 compared to 18.4% in 1997. Overall, our loss ratio for 1998 was 56.6% compared to 58.7% for 1997. The auto liability loss ratio for 1998 improved to 47.5% from 52.4% for 1997, and the auto physical damage loss ratio for 1998 improved to 58.5% from 59.8% for 1997. The homeowner loss ratio for 1998 also improved to 79.1% from 83.7% for 1997. These positive results are despite two severe Michigan storms occurring on May 31 and July 21, 1998 that resulted in $1.7 million in direct losses, $1 million in net losses after reinsurance and 2,020 reported claims. The favorable combined ratio in 1998 is attributable to: (i) continued overall favorable claims experience with reductions in claim frequency that more than offset increases in claim severity for 1998 compared to 1997, and (ii) reduced reinsurance rates from the 1997 contracts. Our underwriting gain for 1997 is primarily the result of more favorable claims experience and reduced rates from the 1997 reinsurance contracts.

    We continued to reduce expenses and improve operational efficiencies in 1998. For the seventh consecutive year, our other underwriting expenses ratio has declined, and was 19.8% in 1998 compared to 24.6% in 1997. The significant decrease in 1998 was primarily due to the reduction in commission expense as a result of our acquisition of the agency.

    Net investment income before interest expense was $7.0 million for 1998 compared to $6.7 million for 1997. Interest expense on the surplus note was $1.8 million for 1998 and $1.3 million for 1997. The net increase in net investment income was due principally to increases in invested assets because of positive cash flows from operations. The tax equivalent total rate of return, which includes both income and changes in market value of securities, was 7.49% for 1998 and was 7.74% for 1997. The weighted average tax equivalent book yield of the fixed maturity portfolio was 6.83% for 1998 compared to 7.08% for 1997.

    Total direct premiums written increased to $113.3 million in 1998 from $106.3 million in 1997. Our direct written premiums have increased 6.5% in 1998 due to policyholder growth and a 7.6% homeowner rate increase that went into effect October 1, 1998. With the continued growth in our homeowners business, our product mix in terms of exposures at December 31, 1998 was 16% homeowners and 84% personal automobile. Net premiums written in 1998 decreased to $66.2 million, or 11.7% from 1997. The decrease in net premiums written for 1998 was due to the change in quota share reinsurance contracts whereby we ceded more premiums in 1998 than in 1997. Net premiums earned for 1998 were $64.0 million compared to $67.8 million for 1997. The 5.6% decrease in net premiums earned in 1998 is also as a result of changes in the terms and timing of our reinsurance contracts which resulted in more premiums being ceded in 1998 than in 1997.

    Direct premiums written during 1998 for automobile coverage increased 5.1% to $103.5 million, from $98.5 million in 1997. The number of insured vehicles increased 5.6% to 155,211 at December 31, 1998 from 146,994 at December 31, 1997.

25


    Our homeowners business also continued to increase. Direct premiums written during 1998 for homeowners increased 24% to $9.8 million, from $7.9 million in 1997. The number of homeowner policies in force increased 18.3% to 29,699 at December 31, 1998 from 25,114 at December 31, 1997.

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 and long-term payment obligations, and to maximize opportunities to earn interest on those funds not immediately required.

    The net increase in cash was $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The $3.0 million additional increase in 1999 cash reflects additional working capital retained after the completion of the conversion and related subscription offering and the repayment of substantially all debt related to the 1997 acquisition of our sales agency. Cash provided by operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $19.9 million, compared to $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998. The $2.8 million increase in cash provided by operations during 1999 compared to 1998 was primarily due to increased income from operations as a result of the cancellation of the quota share agreement with ProNational, whereby MEEMIC retained 40% more of its operating income during the second half of 1999.

    Net proceeds from the conversion and related subscription offering were $43.0 million, before offering costs of $700,000 and a donation to the MEEMIC Foundation of $500,000. MEEMIC policyholders subscribed for 1.5 million shares of common stock in Holdings. Also pursuant to the conversion, Professionals converted the $21.5 million surplus note plus accrued interest of $1.5 million into 2.3 million shares at $10 per share of Holdings common stock, and purchased an additional 2.8 million shares in the subscription offering as standby underwriter. After repayment of debt related to the agency acquisition, the remaining net proceeds of approximately $30 million were invested and are expected to be used to support additional premium writings and business expansion.

    The resources from the conversion allowed us to retire liabilities under the terms of the acquisition of the sales agency, and improved operational flexibility and financial capabilities for business and regulatory purposes. The conversion to a stock company and net proceeds from the related subscription offering provides us with a source of capital for growth and expansion capacity for our current and potential new product lines.

    With the continued growth in our homeowner policies, we have entered into a homeowners quota share reinsurance arrangement with American Re effective January 1, 2000. As a result of this change, we will cede approximately $5 million in annual homeowner premiums and 40% of the related claims during 2000.

    Cash provided by operations and deemed available for investment was employed in full compliance with our investment policy. Likewise, proceeds of $16.4 million for 1999 and $13.9 million for 1998, substantially from matured and called investments, were reinvested in similar high quality investments. During 1999, 1998 and 1997, we did not have any significant voluntary sales of our long-term fixed maturity securities.

    Insurance regulations limit our ability to transfer cash from MEEMIC to Holdings. See "Item 1—Business—Insurance Regulatory Matters."

Effects of Inflation

    The effects of inflation on the Company are considered in estimating reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, and in the premium rate-making process. The actual effects of inflation on the Company's results of operations cannot be accurately known until the ultimate settlement of claims. However, based upon the actual results reported to date, we believe that the Company's loss

26


reserves, including reserves for losses that have been incurred but not yet reported, make adequate provision for the effects of inflation.

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 the Company 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 the Company.

Year 2000 Compliance

    The Company has completed an assessment of its computer programs and personal computer software and has determined that all significant systems are Year 2000 compliant. To date, the Company spent a total of approximately $3 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. We have received written assurances from the third party vendors of such systems, equipment and software, that such items are Year 2000 compliant. The purchase of these new systems, which are expected to improve operating efficiencies, did not require the Company to incur specific Year 2000 remediation expenses. Additionally, we have conducted Year 2000 investigation and testing with our major third party vendors' software and hardware and determined that all significant hardware and software is Year 2000 compliant. While the Company believes that Year 2000 compliance issues have been reasonably addressed, both internally and externally, no assurances can be given that all entities with whom we do 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.

    While we have experienced no Year 2000 related problems during the transition to the Year 2000, we are maintaining our normal disaster recovery plan in the event that any problems arise going forward.

27


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 the Company, 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. We do 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 fixed maturity investment portfolio was valued at $157 million at December 31, 1999 and had a duration of 3.97 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.

 -1%   $ 163,639   $ 6,286   3.64
 -2%   $ 169,503   $ 12,150   3.36

    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.

MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Description of Business

    MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") is an insurance holding company incorporated under Michigan law in October 1998. The Company owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of MEEMIC Insurance Services Corp. and MEEMIC Insurance Company, a stock insurance company incorporated under Michigan law. MEEMIC Insurance Company ("MEEMIC") (formerly "Michigan Educational Employees Mutual Insurance Company") is a 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. In September 1997, MEEMIC began selling its insurance contracts through its sister company, MEEMIC Insurance Services Corp., d/b/a MEIA Insurance Agency, which is the exclusive distributor of the Company's products. Prior to that, the Company's products were sold by Michigan Educators Insurance Agency, Inc. (see Note 3).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which vary in certain respects from statutory accounting practices followed in reporting to insurance regulatory authorities (see Note 16 for the effect of such differences). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The financial information for periods prior to the formation of MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. relates to MEEMIC and its subsidiary.

    At December 31, 1999 and 1998, all of the Company's securities are classified as available-for-sale and are those securities that would be available to be sold in response to the Company's liquidity needs, changes in market interest rates and asset-liability management strategies, among others.

    Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of the related income tax effect, excluded from income and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

    A decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to income, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. All declines in fair values of the Company's investment securities in 1999 or 1998 were deemed to be temporary.

    Short-term investments, which consist principally of U. S. government securities, are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

    Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted, respectively, over the life of the related debt security as an adjustment to yield using the yield-to-maturity method. Dividends and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses are included in earnings and are derived using the specific-identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.

    Real estate, which consists of vacant land available for sale, is stated at cost.

33


    Insurance premium income is recognized on a monthly pro rata basis over the respective terms of the policies in-force and unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written which is applicable to the unexpired terms of the policies in-force.

    Reinsurance arrangements are prospective contracts for which prepaid reinsurance premiums are amortized ratably over the related policy terms based on the estimated ultimate amounts to be paid. Changes in estimated outcomes are recognized currently.

    Losses and loss adjustment expense reserves represent the accumulation of individual case estimates for reported losses and loss adjustment expenses, bulk adjustments to case estimates and actuarial estimates for incurred but not reported losses and loss adjustment expenses, based upon the Company's actual experience, assumptions and projections as to claims frequency, severity, inflationary trends and settlement payments. The reserve for losses and loss adjustment expenses is intended to cover the ultimate net cost of all losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred but unsettled through the balance sheet date reduced for anticipated salvage and subrogation. Anticipated salvage and subrogation approximated $1,285,000 and $985,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The reserve is stated gross of reinsurance ceded.

    Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed either on the straight-line or accelerated methods over periods ranging from three to seven years. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense as incurred.

    Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of are removed from the accounts; any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.

    Policy acquisition costs, specifically commissions, are deferred, subject to ultimate recoverability from future income, including investment income, and amortized to expense over the period in which the related premiums are earned.

    Deferred federal income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

34


    Intangibles primarily consist of the excess of cost over fair market value of net tangible assets of an acquired business. Intangible assets, including noncompete agreements, are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 5 to 15 years. Accumulated amortization totaled $6,580,000 and $3,655,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

    The carrying value of intangibles is periodically reviewed to determine if any impairment has occurred. The Company measures the potential impairment of recorded goodwill based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period.

    The Company records compensation expense for stock options only if the market price of the Company's stock, on the date of grant, exceeds the amount an individual must pay to acquire the stock.

    Net income per share is 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 year ended December 31, 1999. The effect of dilutive stock options added 280,000 shares for the year ended December 31, 1999 for the computation of diluted income per common share. Earnings per share are computed on a pro forma basis assuming the conversion took place on January 1, 1999 (Note 3).

    Accumulated other comprehensive income consists solely of unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available for sale securities. Realized investment (losses) gains on securities held as of the beginning of the year totaling ($20,203), $31,012, and $32,214 in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively, had unrealized appreciation of $30,904, $56,570, and $43,949 at the beginning of 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    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.

3. Conversion

    On June 24, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a plan of conversion for changing the corporate form of MEEMIC from the mutual form to the stock form. Under the plan, eligible policyholders, officers and directors had the opportunity to acquire stock in the Company, which would

35


acquire all of the newly issued stock of MEEMIC upon conversion. Prior to the conversion, the Company 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 the Company. MEEMIC 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 the Company. Net proceeds of the initial public offering of the Company were $42,973,000, before offering costs of $700,000 and a donation to the MEEMIC Foundation of $500,000. MEEMIC policyholders subscribed for 1,533,983 shares of common stock in the Company. Also pursuant to the plan of conversion, Professionals Group, Inc. converted a $21.5 million surplus note (plus accrued interest) of MEEMIC owned by ProNational Insurance Company ("ProNational"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Professional Group into 2,302,209 shares of the Company; and, Professionals Group, Inc. fulfilled its obligations as standby purchaser by purchasing an additional 2,763,308 shares in the subscription offering. As a result, Professionals Group owns approximately 77% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Since July 2, 1999, the Company has been trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "MEMH".

    On September 22, 1997, MEEMIC acquired the operations of its exclusive sales agency. The unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997, of the sales agency as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1997 would have been $76.6 million in total revenues and other income and $6.2 million in net income. This pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of what results would have been had the acquisition been made as of that date or of results which may occur in the future.

    As contemplated in the conversion plan, the amount payable relating to the agency acquisition was substantially repaid. At the request of certain former Agency shareholders, management approved an acceleration of individual amounts due to them related to the agency acquisition. The settlement of this early extinguishment of debt resulted in an extraordinary gain of $1,524,000 and $214,000, net of $785,000 and $110,000 of federal income taxes for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate the value. In situations where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are to be based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain insurance-related assets and liabilities and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.

    Due to the short-term nature of other financial instruments such as cash, the premiums due from policyholders, amounts due from reinsurers and accrued investment income, the fair value of these items approximate their carrying value. Additionally, the carrying value approximates fair value of the payable related to acquisition due to the accelerated payment option available to the Company and the interest rate on the surplus note approximates current rates available to the Company.

6. Related Party Transactions

    Professionals Group provided MEEMIC with information system services and certain consulting services under a Management Services Agreement. Fees for such services were $1,066,000 for 1999, $2,073,000 for 1998 and $1,005,000 for 1997 and were included in other underwriting expenses. The Management Services Agreement was terminated effective July 1, 1999. As of July 1, 1999 MEEMIC entered into an Expense Allocation Agreement with ProNational covering indirect expenses and salaries of key company personnel. Expenses related to this agreement were $304,000 for 1999. Also effective July 1, 1999, MEEMIC canceled its quota share reinsurance contract with ProNational (Note 7).

7. Reinsurance

    In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce the loss that may arise from events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by reinsuring certain levels of risk in various areas of exposure with other insurance enterprises or reinsurers. Amounts receivable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy. Although reinsurance agreements contractually obligate the Company's reinsurers to reimburse the Company for their proportionate share of losses, they do not discharge the primary liability of the Company. The Company remains liable for the ceded amount of reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses and unearned premiums in the event the assuming insurance organizations are unable to meet their contractual obligations.

    The Company has various excess of loss and quota share reinsurance agreements. As of December 31, 1999, the Company's maximum current net retention, subject to certain adjustments of risk on any single coverage per claim after reinsurance is $150,000.

    The Company continually reviews its reinsurers, considering a number of factors, the most critical of which is their financial stability. Based on these reviews, the Company evaluates its position with

39


reinsurers with respect to existing and future reinsurance. At December 31, 1999, amounts due from reinsurers were as follows:

 
  Amounts

Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association   $ 31,280
American Reinsurance Company     6,344

ProNational Insurance Company, related party     10,886
   
    $ 51,344
   

    The Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association ("MCCA") is an unincorporated nonprofit association created by Michigan law to provide unlimited coverage in excess of $250,000 per occurrence for personal injury losses. Every insurer engaged in writing personal protection insurance coverage in Michigan is required to be a member of the MCCA and the MCCA acts in the same manner as a reinsurer covering any personal injury losses incurred by the company in excess of $250,000. Member companies of the MCCA are charged an annual assessment, based on the number of vehicles for which coverage is written, to cover losses reported by all member companies. Accordingly, there is no direct relationship between the annual premiums and losses ceded to MCCA.

    Amounts due from reinsurers consisted of amounts related to:

    Effective July 1, 1997, the Company entered into a coinsurance treaty with ProNational to cede 40% of its net retained premiums on a quota share basis. The coinsurance treaty was terminated July 1, 1999. Ceding commissions were $7,227,000 in 1999, $12,995,000 in 1998 and $6,577,000 in 1997. A summary of reinsurance amounts, which are included above, that were ceded to ProNational follows:

8. Federal Income Taxes

    Income tax expense is computed under the liability method, whereby deferred income taxes reflect the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and those for income tax purposes.

    The provision for federal income taxes consists of the following:

    As a result of recent favorable development in estimates of prior years' reserves on auto liability business, the provision for losses and loss adjustment expenses in 1999, 1998 and 1997 decreased by $6,964,000, $3,622,000, and $6,752,000, respectively. Management believes 1994 legislative tort reform in the State of Michigan produced better than expected loss experience and resulted in reductions in prior years' loss reserves in 1999 and 1998. The 1994 legislation became effective in 1996 and the effects were uncertain at that time. As time has passed, the data and effects of that reform have stabilized and management has reduced reserves related to prior accident years accordingly.

12. Surplus Note

    As discussed in Note 3, on July 1, 1999, ProNational exchanged its $21.5 million surplus note and accrued but unpaid interest of $1,522,000 for shares of common stock of the Company.

    ProNational purchased the $21,500,000 surplus note from the Company on April 7, 1997. Interest was payable annually at a rate of 8.5%. Repayment of any principal or interest was subject to written authorization by the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Michigan and approval by the Company's Board of Directors. At December 31, 1998, this note had an outstanding balance of $21,500,000 with accrued interest of $1,827,500. On May 26, 1998, the accrued interest for 1997 of $1,342,000 was paid to ProNational following the State and Board's approval.

13. Employee Benefit Plans

    The Company has a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan which covers substantially all of its employees. The Company matches 50% of employees' contributions up to a maximum rate of 2.5% of eligible compensation. In addition, the Company is required to make an elective contribution on behalf

44


of each participant in an amount determined annually by the Company's Board of Directors. However, such elective contribution for a year may, at the discretion of the Company, be omitted in a year in which a net loss is experienced. The charge to income under this plan was $609,000, $505,000, and $477,000 for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    The Company also has a qualified defined contribution money purchase plan, covering substantially all employees, in which the Company is required to make a contribution on behalf of each participant in an amount equal to 3 percent of eligible compensation. The charge to income under this plan was $209,000, in 1999, $172,000 in 1998, and $170,000 in 1997.

    The Company has a short-term incentive plan covering all full time permanent employees hired before March 1 for each plan year. Incentive payouts are based on achievement of corporate goals and are calculated as a percentage of base compensation. The charge to income under this plan was approximately $575,000 in 1999 and $500,000 in both 1998 and 1997, respectively.

14. Stock Options and Awards

    In October 1998, the Company's Board of Directors and sole shareholder adopted a stock compensation plan to provide performance-based compensation to officers, directors and employees of the Company and MEEMIC. Pursuant to the stock compensation plan, 300,000 shares were reserved for future issuance by the Company upon exercise of stock options. If awards should expire, become unexercisable or be forfeited for any reason without having been exercised or without becoming fully vested in full, the shares of common stock subject to such awards would be available for the grant of additional awards under the stock compensation plan.

    The stock compensation plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors. On the effective date of the conversion, July 1, 1999, 280,000 options were granted at fair value, the subscription price of the Company's common stock, on the date of grant. These options vest and become exercisable in equal installments over a five year period beginning July 1, 2000, and expire on July 1, 2009. No charge to operations was recorded with respect to authorization, grant or exercise of options. Proceeds received upon exercise would be credited to shareholders' equity.

    Option information regarding the stock compensation plan for the year ending December 31, 1999 follows:

    Options outstanding as of December 31, 1999 under the stock compensation plan consisted of the following:

    The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for these plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for these stock option plans. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income (in thousands) and net income per common share—assuming dilution would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts below:

 
  1999
 
  (In thousands)

Net income:      
As reported   $ 13,335
Pro forma     12,394
Net income per common share—assuming dilution:      
As reported   $ 1.94
Pro forma   $ 1.80

    The fair value of options at date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1999: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 51.2%; risk-free interest rate of 5.84%; and expected life of 5 years for the stock compensation plan. The pro forma effect on net income for 1999 is not representative of the pro forma effect on net income for future years because additional stock option awards could be made in future years.

15. Lease Agreements

    The Company is obligated under an operating lease for office space.

46


    At December 31, 1999, future minimum lease payments are as follows:

2000   $ 778,000
2001     778,000
2002     778,000
2003     778,000
2004 and thereafter     2,224,000
   
    $ 5,336,000
   

    The base rate will increase annually at the start of each new lease year by the percentage increase in the CPI-U (Common Price Index for all urban consumers).

    Rental expense was $1,258,000, $1,146,000, and $981,000 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

16. Statutory Insurance Accounting Practices

    MEEMIC Insurance Company is required to file financial statements prepared in accordance with statutory insurance accounting practices ("SAP") prescribed or permitted by the Michigan Insurance Bureau. The Company does not utilize any permitted accounting practices.

    Accounting practices used to prepare statutory-basis financial statements differ in some respects from GAAP. A reconciliation of statutory capital and surplus at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and statutory net income for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, of MEEMIC Insurance

17. Contingencies

    The Company participates in the Property and Casualty Guarantee Association ("Association") of the State of Michigan which protects policyholders and claimants against losses due to insolvency of insurers. When an insolvency occurs, the Association is authorized to assess member companies up to the amount of the shortfall of funds, including expenses. Member companies are assessed based on the type and amount of insurance written during the previous calendar year. Assessments to date are not significant; however, the ultimate liability for future assessments is not known. Accordingly, the Company is unable to predict whether such future assessments will materially affect the financial condition of the Company.

18. Shareholders' Equity

    Approximately $219 million of consolidated assets represents assets of the Company's insurance operations that may not be transferred to the Company in the form of dividends, loans or advances without prior regulatory approval. The amount of dividends that the Company's insurance subsidiary

48


can pay to the Company in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of statutory net income for the preceding year, excluding realized gains (losses) on sales of investments, or 10% of policyholders' surplus as of the preceding year end. As of December 31, 1999, amounts available for payment of dividends in year 2000 without prior regulatory approval of the Bureau is approximately $8.7 million.

19. Revenue Information

    The Company operates as a single segment offering two insurance products—homeowners and personal automobile. Revenue is from unaffiliated customers. Net premiums written and net premiums earned from each of these products is as follows:

 
  Year ended December 31,
 
  1999

  1997
 
  (In thousands)

Net premiums written:

Total   $ 122,364   $ 113,258   $ 106,349
   
 
 
Net premiums earned:                  
Homeowner   $ 8,460   $ 4,744   $ 5,130
Personal automobile     84,574     59,296     62,700
   
 
 
Total   $ 93,034   $ 64,040   $ 67,830
   
 
 

20. Concentration and Credit Risk

    Premiums written through the Company's sales agency approximated 90% of direct written premiums in each of the years 1999, 1998 and 1997. Additionally, in each of these years, the top ten agents produced, in aggregate, approximately 35% of direct written premiums.

    All premiums are directly billed to policyholders, and premiums due are secured by the related unearned premiums. When insureds fail to pay their premiums, coverage is canceled. Premiums are collected in advance of being earned. Subsequent scheduled payments are monitored to prevent the Company from providing coverage beyond the date for which payment has been received. In the opinion of management, the amounts carried on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are collectible.

SCHEDULE II—CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT—(Continued)

MEEMIC HOLDINGS, INC. (PARENT COMPANY)

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT

Year Ended December 31, 1999

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

    MEEMIC Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) is an insurance holding company incorporated under Michigan law on October 21, 1998. From October 21, 1998 (date of inception) through June 30, 1999 Holdings was inactive, until July 1, 1999 when MEEMIC Insurance Company completed its conversion to a stock company and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Accordingly, condensed financial information for Holdings is only being presented for the year ended December 31, 1999.

    Holdings owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the following entities:

    MEEMIC Insurance Company (formerly "Michigan Educational Employees Mutual Insurance Company") (MEEMIC)—a stock insurance company incorporated under Michigan law on August 10, 1949.

    MEEMIC Insurance Services Corporation (MEIA Agency)—a business corporation incorporated under Michigan law on May 16, 1997, that represents over 90 insurance sales representatives, which is the exclusive distributor of our products. Although 90% of MEIA Agency's business is MEEMIC, the agency represents and receives sales commissions from other insurance carriers who do business in Michigan. On December 30, 1999 upon approval from the Michigan Insurance Bureau, MEEMIC paid a dividend consisting of MEIA Agency to Holdings. This dividend rearranged the organizational structure of Holdings, such that MEEMIC and MEIA Agency are sister corporations as opposed to a parent/subsidiary relationship and MEIA Agency is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings.

(2) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

    Under terms of Holding's tax sharing agreement with its subsidiaries, income tax provisions for the individual companies are computed on a separate company basis.
