Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Financial Condition
As shown by the Statements of Cash Flows, cash flow provided by
operations for the nine month period under review was equal to
13.6% of total income, which compares to 12.8% for the same period
in the previous year. Cash flows are expected to remain in a
similar range in the future. The Company utilizes its excess cash
flow for investing purposes and at September 30, 1995
approximately 67% of total assets were readily convertible into
cash. Measured in dollars, this amounts to approximately
$13,979,000 on total assets of $20,943,000. At September 30, 1994,
approximately $13,187,000 of the Company's assets were readily
convertable into cash, amounting to approximately 67% on total
assets of $19,067,000.
There has been no material change in the Company's asset mix or in
the makeup of its liabilities.
The Company does not have any material commitment for capital
expenditures at this time.
Results of Operations
During the nine month period under review the Company's net
premium income increased by approximately $354,000 or 8.3% over
the same period in the prior year, contributing to an increase of
approximately $457,000 or 9.5% in total income. This compares
with an increase in total income of approximately $636,000 or
15.3% for the same period prior year.
Increases in total net premium income are the result of continued
growth in annualized premium in force which amounted to
approximately $390,000 during the nine month period under review
and approximately $440,000 for the same period prior year.
The improvement in total income was negated by a disproportional
increase in general expenses of approximately 25% or $513,000,
resulting in a decline of approximately $252,000 in net income
during the period. This is contrasted with an increase of
approximately 16% or $274,000 and a corresponding decrease in net
income of approximately $29,000 for the same period prior year.
A significant portion of the increase in general expenses is
attributable to legal fees and other expenses which the Company
incurred in connection with various shareholder proposals (see
PART II, Item 4."Submission of Matters to a vote of Security
Holders"). Since these proposals have been voted upon by the
Company's shareholders, the Company does not expect to continue to
incur these increased expenses, although no assurance can be
given.
