NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the
information included in the Company's audited, consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed July 16,
1999. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chandler
(U.S.A.), Inc. ("Chandler USA" or the "Company") and all subsidiaries. The
following represents the significant subsidiaries:
- National American Insurance Company ("NAICO")
- LaGere & Walkingstick Insurance Agency, Inc. ("L&W")
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Chandler USA is wholly owned by Chandler Insurance (Barbados), Ltd.
("Chandler Barbados") which, in turn, is wholly owned by Chandler Insurance
Company, Ltd. ("Chandler Cayman"), a Cayman Islands company.
NOTE 2. LITIGATION
In the Company's audited, consolidated financial statements included in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed July 16, 1999, recent
developments updating the CenTra, Inc. ("CenTra") litigation were described.
CENTRA LITIGATION - OKLAHOMA
The Company has previously reported concerning the background and status of
litigation involving CenTra and certain of its affiliates, officers and
directors (the "CenTra Group") in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Oklahoma ("Oklahoma Federal Court").
As previously reported, the trial of that litigation concluded on April
22, 1997, when the Oklahoma Federal Court entered judgments on various jury
verdicts. One judgment against Chandler Cayman requires the CenTra Group to
return stock it purchased in 1990 to Chandler Cayman in return for payment of
$5,099,133 from Chandler Cayman. Another judgment was against both Chandler
Cayman and its affiliate, Chandler Barbados, and in favor of CenTra and its
affiliate, Ammex, Inc. CenTra and Ammex were awarded $6,882,500 in connection
with a 1988 stock purchase agreement. Both judgments related to an alleged
failure by Chandler Cayman to adequately disclose the fact that ownership of
Chandler Cayman's stock may be subject to regulation by the Nebraska Department
of Insurance under certain circumstances. Judgment was also entered in favor of
CenTra and against certain officers and/or directors of Chandler Cayman on
securities claims relating to CenTra's 1990 purchases and the failure to
disclose the application of Nebraska insurance law, but the judgments were
$1 against each individual defendant on those claims. On ten derivative claims
brought by CenTra, the jury found in CenTra's favor on three. Certain officers
were directed to repay to Chandler USA bonuses received for the years 1988 and
1989 totaling $711,629 and a total of $25,000 for personal use of corporate
aircraft. These amounts are included in other assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. On the remaining claim relating to the acquisition
of certain insurance agencies in 1988, the jury awarded $1 each against six
officers and/or directors.
<PAGE>
PAGE 8
Judgment was also entered in favor of NAICO and an affiliate of the
Company, NAICO Indemnity (Cayman), Ltd. ("NAICO Indemnity") on counterclaims
against CenTra for CenTra's failure to pay insurance premiums. Judgment was for
the amount of $788,625. During 1998, the judgment was paid by funds held by the
Oklahoma Federal Court aggregating, with interest, $820,185. DuraRock
Reinsurance, Ltd. ("DuraRock"), a CenTra affiliate, claims $725,000 is owed to
it by NAICO and NAICO Indemnity under certain reinsurance treaties. NAICO and
NAICO Indemnity dispute that claim. In November 1998, DuraRock demanded
arbitration and NAICO and NAICO Indemnity responded by appointing an arbitrator.
No arbitration hearings have been held. The Oklahoma Federal Court's judgment
also upheld a resolution adopted by Chandler Cayman's Board of Directors in
August 1992 pursuant to Article XI of Chandler Cayman's Articles of Association
preventing CenTra and its affiliates from voting their Chandler Cayman stock.
On March 10, 1998, the Oklahoma Federal Court modified the earlier judgment
for $6,882,500 to require the CenTra Group to deliver 1,142,625 shares of
Chandler Cayman common stock they own or control upon payment of the judgment by
Chandler Cayman and Chandler Barbados. On that same date, the Oklahoma Federal
Court also entered an order denying the CenTra Group's request for prejudgment
interest on the judgments entered in favor of the CenTra Group. Chandler Cayman
recorded the Oklahoma Federal Court's judgment requiring the return of the
1,142,625 shares of Chandler Cayman's stock as a decrease to shareholders'
equity as of December 31, 1997, and reduced the previous first quarter of 1997
net charge for litigation matters by $6,882,500, during the fourth quarter of
1997.
On March 16, 1998, the CenTra Group filed motions for an award of costs and
attorney fees totaling approximately $4.7 million. On April 21, 1998, the
Oklahoma Federal Court denied the CenTra Group's request. The CenTra Group did
not appeal this decision within the time permitted by applicable law.
Accordingly, Chandler Cayman reduced the previous first quarter of 1997 net
charge for litigation matters by $3.8 million during the second quarter of 1998.
In subsequent papers filed with the appellate court, CenTra asserts as error the
Oklahoma Federal Court's denial of attorney fees.
On March 23, 1998, the CenTra Group filed a formal notice of intent to
appeal certain orders of the Oklahoma Federal Court and filed the initial
appellate brief on September 9, 1998. All briefing was completed on January 4,
1999 and the appeals are being considered by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
10th Circuit. Chandler Cayman cannot predict when a decision on the appeals
will be made. The CenTra Group's appeals are based upon the Oklahoma Federal
Court's failure to award prejudgment interest, the Oklahoma Federal Court's
refusal to permit the CenTra Group to amend certain pleadings to assert new
claims, the Oklahoma Federal Court's modification of the judgment for
$6,882,500 to require CenTra to return shares of Chandler Cayman's stock upon
payment of the judgment, and the Oklahoma Federal Court's entry of judgment in
favor of NAICO and certain officers and directors on CenTra's claim based upon
cancellation of its insurance policies by NAICO in 1992. The CenTra Group is
also attempting to appeal the Oklahoma Federal Court's denial of attorney fees
but not the denial of costs. Chandler Cayman believes the appeal of this issue
is untimely and therefore barred by law. Chandler Cayman has elected not to
appeal any of the judgments. The individual officers and directors against whom
judgments were entered as described above have all filed appeals.
The judgments on the derivative claims described above were all entered in
favor of Chandler USA. Chandler USA is, therefore, the judgment creditor in
connection with those derivative claim judgments. Chandler USA appointed three
directors to comprise a Special Litigation Committee on April 25, 1997. That
Special Litigation Committee meets on a regular basis and has been delegated the
authority of the Chandler USA Board of Directors regarding all issues related to
the CenTra litigation in the Oklahoma Federal Court, including the derivative
claim judgments.
On April 28, 1997, Chandler Cayman's Board of Directors appointed a
Committee of the Board (the "Committee") to deal with all matters arising from
the Oklahoma litigation. The Committee was delegated all authority of the Board
on these issues. The members of the Committee are Messrs. Jacoby, Maestri and
Davis, all of whom are non-parties to the CenTra litigation. That Committee has
retained independent counsel. The individual members of the Committee review
issues relating to litigation strategy, officer and director indemnification,
and claims made under Chandler Cayman's director and officer liability insurance
policy on a regular basis in conjunction with a similar committee composed of
Chandler USA directors. The Committee meets quarterly and participates in
telephone briefings and discussions with its counsel and members of the
Chandler USA Special Litigation Committee.
Because all shares of Chandler Cayman's stock owned by the CenTra Group are
held by the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska ("Nebraska Court"),
it is unclear when or if the CenTra Group will be able to comply with the
Oklahoma Federal Court's order. Chandler Cayman believes that it is not required
to pay the judgments until the CenTra Group can deliver the shares to Chandler
Cayman. See CenTra Litigation - Nebraska.
The ultimate outcome of the appeals of the various parties as described
above could have a material adverse effect on the Company and could negatively
impact future earnings. The Company's management believes that adequate
financial resources are available to pay the judgments as they currently exist
or as they may be modified on appeal. As a holding company, the Company may
receive cash through equity sales, borrowings and dividends from its
subsidiaries. Chandler Barbados and NAICO are subject to various regulations
which restrict their ability to pay shareholder dividends. A reduction in the
amount of invested assets, or an increase in borrowings resulting from potential
payments of these judgments would reduce investment earnings or increase
operating expenses in future periods.

CENTRA LITIGATION - NEBRASKA
The Company has previously reported regarding administrative proceedings
and decisions and court actions and decisions involving Chandler Cayman and the
CenTra Group in the State of Nebraska. (See Form S-1 filed July 16, 1999.) The
Nebraska Court ordered CenTra, M.J. Moroun, and others to deliver into the
registry of the Nebraska Court all shares of Chandler Cayman stock owned or
controlled by them or their affiliates and not previously delivered to the
Nebraska Court to await the outcome of the CenTra Group's appeal of a
divestiture order entered by the Nebraska Court on March 25, 1997. On February
9, 1998, CenTra deposited an additional 1,691,750 shares of Chandler Cayman's
stock making the total number of shares on deposit with the Nebraska Court
3,133,450 shares. In his March 25, 1997 order, the Honorable Warren K. Urbom,
U.S. District Judge for the Nebraska Court, ordered the parties to submit
divestiture plans. The appeal of that order by CenTra resulted in a delay of
the deadlines for submitting the proposals.
On July 29, 1998, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit affirmed
the Nebraska Court's order that the CenTra Group will be divested of ownership
or control of its shares. This ruling allows Judge Urbom to consider
divestiture plans which may be submitted by NAICO, the Nebraska Department of
Insurance and the CenTra Group. All Chandler Cayman shares owned or controlled
by the CenTra Group remain in the Nebraska Court's possession pending further
orders by that court. On October 28, 1998, the CenTra Group filed pleadings in
the Nebraska Court requesting the appointment of a special master to supervise
the divestiture and an independent trustee to hold and vote Chandler Cayman's
shares owned by the CenTra Group in accordance with specific instructions
pending the final implementation of a divestiture plan. NAICO objected to the
CenTra proposal on November 25, 1998 and responded with a divestiture plan of
its own (the "NAICO Plan"). The Nebraska Court rejected the CenTra proposal
and CenTra responded to the NAICO Plan on December 28, 1998. The Nebraska
Court has made no ruling on the NAICO Plan. NAICO's Plan includes a proposal
whereby Chandler Cayman would acquire and cancel the shares owned or acquired
by the CenTra Group. The NAICO Plan has been approved by Chandler Cayman's
executive committee of the Board of Directors and the Boards of Directors of
Chandler USA and NAICO. The Nebraska Department of Insurance generally supports
the NAICO Plan. The Nebraska Court has given no indication regarding when it
will rule on the NAICO Plan.
CENTRA LITIGATION - OTHER
The Company has previously reported regarding two separate lawsuits filed
against NAICO, NAICO Indemnity and certain NAICO officers during 1997 in State
Court in Macomb County, Michigan. As stated in the Company's Form S-1 filed July
16, 1999, NAICO, NAICO Indemnity and the other defendants contend that the
claims which are the basis of these suits are the same claims which were
prosecuted and concluded in NAICO's and NAICO Indemnity's favor by the Oklahoma
Federal Court in April 1997. On February 28, 1998, a Michigan Federal Court
ordered the lawsuits transferred to the Oklahoma Federal Court. They have now
been consolidated and have been assigned to the same judge who presided over the
action concluded in April 1997 (see CenTra Litigation - Oklahoma). Dispositive
motions filed by NAICO, NAICO Indemnity and the other defendants are currently
under consideration by the Oklahoma Federal Court. Ruling on those motions has
been stayed pending the ruling on CenTra's appeal of the April 1, 1997 judgment
on the same claims (see CenTra Litigation - Oklahoma).
At the present time, Chandler USA and its affiliates are actively
participating in court proceedings, possible discovery actions and rights of
appeal concerning these various legal proceedings; therefore the Company is
unable to predict the outcome of such litigation with certainty or the effect
of such ongoing litigation on future operations.
OTHER LITIGATION
The Company and its subsidiaries are not parties to any other material
litigation other than as is routinely encountered in their respective business
activities.
NOTE 3. DEBENTURE OFFERING
On July 16, 1999, Chandler USA completed a public offering of $24 million
principal amount of senior debentures with a maturity date of July 16, 2014.
The debentures were priced at $1,000 each with an interest rate of 8.75% and
are redeemable by Chandler USA on or after July 16, 2009 without penalty or
premium. The debentures have been approved for listing on the American Stock
Exchange. Standard & Poor's has assigned the debentures a rating of "BBB". The
proceeds to Chandler USA before expenses but after the underwriter's discount
were $23.16 million. The proceeds of the offering were used to repay existing
bank debt, to repay amounts owed by Chandler USA to its parent, Chandler
Barbados, and for general corporate purposes. Chandler USA's subsidiaries and
affiliates will not be obligated by the debentures. Accordingly, the debentures
will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and
obligations of Chandler USA's existing and future subsidiaries.

NOTE 4. ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. It requires that the Company
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting
for changes in the fair value of a derivative (that is, gains and losses)
depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation.
The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 when required. Management of the Company
believes that adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the
Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Net premiums earned increased $2.6 million or 20% in the second quarter of
1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998, and increased $6.9 million or 27%
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the 1998 period. The
increase is primarily attributable to increased written premium production in
Texas and Oklahoma.
Net premiums earned in the standard property and casualty program increased
$1.2 million or 17% in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter
of 1998, and increased $3.5 million or 25% for the six months ended June 30,
1999 compared to the 1998 period. The increase is primarily attributable to
increased written premium production in Texas.
Net premiums earned in the political subdivisions program increased
$525,000 or 22% in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of
1998, and increased $1.1 million or 23% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
compared to the 1998 period. The increase is primarily due to the expansion of
the school districts program in Texas and Missouri and increased written
premium production in Oklahoma.
Net premiums earned in the surety bond program increased $243,000 or 14%
in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998, and
increased $1.0 million or 31% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to the 1998 period due primarily to increased written premium production in
California.
Net premiums earned in the group accident and health program increased $1.1
million or 95% in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of
1998, and increased $2.4 million or 109% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
compared to the 1998 period. The increases are due primarily to a new program
covering Oklahoma employers on a fully insured basis which was effective January
1, 1999. Net premiums earned for this program were $1.4 million and $2.7
million for the second quarter and first six months of 1999, respectively.
National American Insurance Company ("NAICO") discontinued writing new policies
for the excess portion of its group accident and health program effective April
1, 1999.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET REALIZED INVESTMENT GAINS
At June 30, 1999, the Company's investment portfolio consisted primarily of
fixed income U.S. Government, high-quality corporate and tax exempt bonds, with
approximately 5% invested in cash and money market instruments. The Company's
portfolio contains no junk bonds or real estate investments.
Net interest income decreased $293,000 or 23% in the second quarter of 1999
compared to the second quarter of 1998, and decreased $642,000 or 24% for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the 1998 period, due primarily to
the purchase of additional reinsurance coverages in 1998.
The Company had no net realized investment gains in the second quarter of
1999 compared to $278,000 in the second quarter of 1998. Net realized
investments gains were $52,000 and $293,000 in the first six months of 1999 and
1998, respectively.
COMMISSIONS, FEES AND OTHER INCOME
The Company's income from commissions, fees and other income increased
$38,000 or 12% in the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of
1998, and decreased $274,000 or 28% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
compared to the 1998 period. The majority of the Company's income from
commissions, fees and other income are from LaGere & Walkingstick Insurance
Agency, Inc. ("L&W").
L&W's brokerage commissions and fees before intercompany eliminations were
$2.0 million and $4.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 1999,
respectively, compared to $1.7 million and $3.5 million in the year ago periods.
A large portion of the brokerage commissions and fees for L&W is incurred by
NAICO and thus eliminated in consolidation of the Company's subsidiaries.
Other income during the first six months of 1998 included a gain of
approximately $145,000 that resulted from L&W's disposal of certain equipment.
<PAGE>
PAGE 13
LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES
The percentage of losses and loss adjustment expenses to net premiums
earned ("loss ratio") was 77.0% and 70.4% for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to 69.7% and 67.9% in the comparable year ago periods.
Weather-related losses (net of applicable reinsurance) from wind and hail
totaled $2.8 million and $3.2 million for the second quarter and first six
months of 1999, respectively, and increased the respective loss ratio by 17.7
and 10.0 percentage points. Weather-related losses totaled $660,000 and
$775,000 for the second quarter and first six months of 1998, respectively,
and increased the respective loss ratios by 5.0 and 3.1 percentage points.
NAICO is a major insurer of property owned by businesses, cities, towns,
and school districts in Oklahoma. As a result, NAICO incurs weather-related
losses. On May 3, 1999, tornadoes, hail and strong winds caused severe damage
to property owned or used by NAICO insureds. NAICO estimates total insured
damages at approximately $22.7 million. Giving effect to NAICO's applicable
reinsurance, all of which is with unaffiliated reinsurers, NAICO estimates its
net loss before income tax benefit resulting from the May 3 storms at $1.9
million which was recorded in the second quarter of 1999.
POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Policy acquisition costs consist of costs associated with the acquisition
of new and renewal business and generally include direct costs such as premium
taxes, commissions to agents and ceding companies and premium-related
assessments and indirect costs such as salaries and expenses of personnel who
perform and support underwriting activities. NAICO also receives ceding
commissions from certain of the reinsurers who assume premiums from NAICO under
certain reinsurance contracts and the ceding commissions are accounted for as a
reduction of policy acquisition costs. Direct policy acquisition costs and
ceding commissions are deferred and amortized over the terms of the policies.
Recoverability of such deferred costs is dependent on the related unearned
premiums on the policies being more than expected claim losses.
The following table sets forth the Company's policy acquisition costs for
each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998:

</TABLE>
Total gross direct and indirect expenses as a percentage of direct written
and assumed premiums were 27.9% and 27.2% in the second quarter and first six
months of 1999, respectively, compared to 28.1% and 27.6% in the corresponding
year ago periods. Commission expense as a percentage of gross written and
assumed premiums was 14.4% and 13.6% in the second quarter and the first six
months of 1999, respectively, compared to 13.1% and 12.6% in the corresponding
year ago periods. The commission rate for a portion of the surety bond program
varies inversely with the loss ratio pursuant to a commission arrangement
contingent on the loss experience of the program. In the 1998 periods, the
commission rate was lowered due to an increase in the expected loss ratio which
reduced the percentage of commission expense to gross written and assumed
premiums by 1.0 and 1.3 percentage points for the second quarter and first six
months of 1998, respectively.
<PAGE>
PAGE 14
Indirect underwriting expenses were 10.0% and 10.4% of total direct written
and assumed premiums in the second quarter and first six months of 1999,
respectively, compared to 10.3% and 10.0% in the corresponding year ago periods.
Indirect expenses include general overhead and administrative costs associated
with the acquisition of new and renewal business, some of which is relatively
fixed in nature, thus, the percentage of such business to direct written and
assumed premiums will vary depending on the Company's overall premium volume.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses were 7.0% and 7.2% of gross premiums
earned and commissions, fees, and other income in the second quarter and first
six months of 1999, respectively, compared to 8.6% and 9.5% for the
corresponding periods in 1998. General and administrative expenses have
historically not varied in direct proportion to the Company's revenues. A
portion of such expenses is allocated to policy acquisition costs (indirect
underwriting expenses) and loss adjustment expenses based on various factors
including employee counts, salaries, occupancy and specific identification.
Because certain types of expenses are fixed in nature, the percentage of such
expenses to revenues will vary depending on the Company's overall premium
volume.
LITIGATION EXPENSES
While the Company's litigation expenses related to CenTra, Inc. ("CenTra")
have generally decreased since the first quarter of 1997, continued or renewed
actions by CenTra or its affiliates could cause the Company to incur significant
litigation expenses in future periods. See Note 2 to Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In the first six months of 1999, the Company used $6.6 million in cash from
operations due primarily to increases in premiums receivable and reinsurance
recoverables, less an increase in unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses,
all of which generally result from the increase in written premiums during the
first six months of 1999 and to the purchase of additional reinsurance coverages
in 1998. The Company used $7.5 million in cash from operations during the first
six months of 1998.
On July 16, 1999, the Company announced that it had completed a public
offering of $24 million principal amount of senior debentures with a maturity
date of July 16, 2014. The debentures were priced at $1,000 each with an
interest rate of 8.75% and are redeemable by Chandler USA on or after July 16,
2009 without penalty or premium. The debentures have been approved for listing
on the American Stock Exchange. Standard & Poor's has assigned the debentures a
rating of "BBB". The proceeds to Chandler USA before expenses but after the
underwriter's discount were $23.16 million. The proceeds of the offering were
used to repay existing bank debt, to repay amounts owed by Chandler USA to its
parent, Chandler Insurance (Barbados), Ltd., and for general corporate purposes.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURES
Computer software, hardware, microprocessor chips and other computer
equipment use two digits to identify a particular year, and therefore may not
recognize the number "00" or may recognize it as a year prior to 1999. Unless
computer equipment and software programs are modified to correct these data
recognition problems (the "Year 2000 Problems"), errors could result. These
errors could cause damage to personal property and disrupt business practices
and functions. In addition to potential problems from computer systems,
potential problems could arise from equipment with embedded chips, such as
vaults, elevators, aircraft and other systems not generally classified as
information technology systems.
The Company is heavily dependent upon complex information technology
computer systems for its operations. The Company has taken action to attempt
to identify the nature and extent of the work required to assess and remediate
Year 2000 Problems with respect to its systems, products and infrastructures,
including non-information technology systems, none of which are considered
critical to operations. The Company began work in 1995 to prepare its
financial, information and other computer-based systems for the year 2000,
including updating existing legacy systems, and such work as currently planned
is substantially complete at this time. The Company estimates that it has spent
$350,000 updating these systems to address Year 2000 Problems, and such costs
were expensed as they were incurred, primarily in 1996 and 1997.
<PAGE>
PAGE 15
During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company retained an independent
consultant to prepare a plan for testing its information technology systems.
In late 1998, the Company determined that the testing would be performed by its
employees, and this testing was completed during the first half of 1999. During
the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company incurred approximately $150,000 in
additional expenses to evaluate its information systems and in preparation of
plans to test its information systems.
The Company incurred additional costs of $125,000 to complete its testing
during the first half of 1999, of which approximately $65,000 was incurred in
the second quarter of 1999. These costs included the use of internal employees,
cost of external software to enhance testing efforts and computer rental costs.
These costs were expensed during 1999 as incurred. The Company could incur
costs in the future if additional efforts are need to perform modifications to
the Company's information technology systems. The Company is establishing a
contingency plan for all critical business operations. The Company expects to
finalize the contingency plan during the third quarter of 1999. The contingency
plan includes possible manual operations and the implementation of alternative
processing procedures.
The Company believes, based on the information currently available, that
the most reasonably likely worst case scenarios resulting from Year 2000
Problems include:
- Legal risks arising from failure of NAICO or L&W to provide contracted
services, deal with claims on a timely basis, provide pertinent data to
those dependent upon the data and similar risks;
- Increased operational costs due to manual processing, data corruption or
disaster recovery;
- Inability to bill or invoice;
- Lost revenue resulting from the inability to render accurate billing and
from the inability to efficiently market insurance products;
- Increased legal and accounting expenses;
- Fines and associated expenses resulting from inability to comply with
regulatory requirements; and
- Failure of management controls.
Any previously mentioned Year 2000 Problems could have a material adverse
effect on the Company, including the financial condition of the Company's
subsidiaries and their ability to pay dividends or other payments to the Company
and its subsidiaries.
It is possible that the credit or operating ability of agents, reinsurers
and others with whom the Company maintains commercial relationships may be
adversely affected by one or more unforeseen circumstances caused by Year 2000
Problems. However, the Company does not have control over these third parties
and, as a result, it cannot currently determine to what extent future operating
results may be adversely affected by the failure of these third parties to
successfully address their Year 2000 Problems. However, the Company is
developing plans to attempt to minimize identified third-party exposures. The
Company has requested information from its major vendors and service providers
to assess their year 2000 readiness. The Company currently is evaluating this
information. The Company cannot predict the adverse impact, if any, of Year
2000 Problems upon parties with whom it does business.
The Company continues to study the complex issues related to insurance
coverage for losses arising from the myriad potential fact situations connected
with Year 2000 Problems and NAICO's liability to its insureds. The Company
believes that the coverages NAICO provides do not extend to the types of losses
which are most likely to occur as a result of Year 2000 Problems, and NAICO has
made no provisions for loss reserves based on potential Year 2000 Problems.
NAICO expects to utilize coverage exclusion endorsements based on the individual
underwriting of commercial accounts, and it has adopted endorsements to its
policies based on forms provided and filed for approval with various regulatory
authorities by Insurance Services Office, Inc., an insurance services company
which provides regulatory research and filing support to insurance companies.
Use of these special endorsements is governed by the law and regulatory policies
of states in which NAICO is authorized to do business.
<PAGE>
PAGE 16
It is possible that future court interpretations of policy language based
on specific facts, or legislation mandating coverage, could result in coverage
for losses attributable to Year 2000 Problems. Such decisions or legislation
could have a material adverse impact on the Company. It is also possible that
NAICO may incur expenses defending claims for which it is ultimately determined
there is no insurance coverage.
