NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1996
(unaudited)
The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with
these notes and with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included
in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 of
Penn Treaty American Corporation ("the Company").
In the opinion of management, the summarized financial information
reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations for the interim periods. Certain prior period amounts
have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.
1. INVESTMENTS
Management has categorized all of its investment securities as available
for sale since they may be sold in response to changes in interest rates,
prepayments, and similar factors. Investments in this classification are
reported at their current market value with net unrealized gains and
losses, net of the applicable deferred income tax effect, being added to
or deducted from the Company's total shareholders' equity on the balance
sheet. As of September 30, 1996, shareholders' equity was increased by
$1,047,659 due to unrealized gains of $1,587,362 in the investment
portfolio. As of December 31, 1995, shareholders' equity was increased by
$4,055,788 due to unrealized gains of $6,145,649 in the investment
portfolio.

2. MERGER AGREEMENTS
On August 30, 1996, the Company, consummated its acquisition of
Health Insurance of Vermont ("HIVT") as a reverse triangular
merger with its newly formed subsidiary, Mayfly, Inc. ("Mayfly").
The resultant wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company was
incorporated under the laws of the state of Vermont as American
Network Insurance Company ("ANIC"). Pursuant to the merger, HIVT
shareholders received stock consideration consisting of 472,644
shares of the Company's common stock and cash consideration of
$2,200,380. Using the market value of the Company's common stock
at the date of closing, the value of the shares of Company common
stock issued on the merger was $10,959,433. As of September 30,
1996, ANIC had a total of 16,488 disability policies in-force and
approximately $6,945,000 of in-force annualized premiums. For
the one-month period ended September 30, 1996, ANIC generated
premiums of $547,012 and net income of $84,996.
On June 25, 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to
purchase 100% of the outstanding common stock of Merrion
Insurance Company, Inc. ("Merrion"), a licensed New York
domiciled company. On August 23, 1996, the Company rescinded its
intention to purchase Merrion.
3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 26, 1996, the Company sold $65,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 6-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2003 (the "Notes"). The Company granted to the initial purchasers
the option to purchase up to an additional $9,750,000 principal
amount of the notes solely to cover over-allotments, which option
was excercised in full. The Notes will be convertible into
shares of common stock of the Company at any time after February
24, 1996, until the close of business November 28, 2003, subject
to prior redemption or repurchase, at an initial conversion price
of $28.44 per share, subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances. The notes will be redeemable by the Company at
declining redemption prices commencing in December 1999. The
purpose of the offering is to provide funds to support future
growth. The Company intends to register the Notes and the
underlying Common Stock within 90 days of the first issuance of
the notes.
The Notes were offered through initial purchasers in the United
States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "act") and
to a limited number of institutional "accredited investors" as
defined in the act. The remainder of the Notes will be offered
by the initial purchasers outside the United States in reliance
on Regulation S under the Act.

The Notes issued and sold in reliance on Rule 144A are eligible
for trading on the PORTAL Market of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995:
ACCIDENT AND HEALTH PREMIUMS. First year accident and health
premiums earned in the three month period ended September 30, 1996 (the "1996
quarter"), including long-term care and Medicare supplement, increased 11.1%
to $10,974,991, compared to $9,877,625 in the same period in 1995 (the "1995
quarter"). First year long-term care premiums earned in the 1996 quarter
increased 10.7% to $10,864,391, compared to $9,815,629 in the 1995 quarter.
This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales of home health
care policies, which increased to $4,851,993 for the 1996 quarter from
$3,968,734 for the 1995 quarter. Premiums from sales of nursing home care
policies increased from $5,846,895 in the 1995 quarter to $6,012,398 in the
1996 quarter. These results reflect increased market demand for the
Company's home health care policies, particularly its Independent Living
policy first introduced in the fourth quarter of 1994, relative to its
nursing home policies. Management believes this trend indicates more nursing
home care insurance is being purchased by policyholders as riders to home
health care policies, rather than as a stand-alone or lead policy. First
year Medicare supplement premiums earned by the Company in the 1996 quarter
increased to $110,600 from $61,996 in the 1995 quarter. Total new business
for this product remains low due to the Company's continued reduced emphasis
of its Medicare supplement products because of lower profit margins
associated with this line of business.
Renewal accident and health premiums earned by the Company in the 1996
quarter including long-term care and Medicare supplement, increased 27.9% to
$19,988,957, compared to $15,631,808 in the 1995 quarter. Renewal long-term
care premiums earned in the 1996 quarter increased 29.3% to $19,386,718,
compared to $14,989,221 in the 1995 quarter. This increase reflects renewals
of a larger base of in-force policies, as well as the effect of rate
increases the Company received in various states. The Company believes that
this increase also reflects an increase in persistency, or renewals as a
percentage of total prior year business. Renewal Medicare supplement
premiums in the 1996 quarter decreased 6.3% to $602,239, compared to $642,587
in the 1995 quarter. This trend is consistent with the Company's decision
not to actively pursue Medicare supplement business.
In addition, ANIC, which the Company acquired on August 30, 1996,
generated Accident and Health premiums, comprised primarily of long-term
disability coverage, of $547,012 during the 1996 quarter.
LIFE PREMIUMS. First year life premiums earned by the Company in
the 1996 quarter decreased 9.5% to $345,040, compared to $381,391 in the 1995
quarter. The
9
<PAGE>
Company's life business has remained stable as the Company is focusing its
marketing efforts on its Independent Living policy and its other long-term
care products. Renewal life premiums earned by the Company in the 1996
quarter increased to $528,594, compared to $364,773 in the 1995 quarter.
This increase was primarily the result of renewals of first-year policies
written in 1995.
NET INVESTMENT INCOME. Net investment income earned by the
Company, excluding ANIC, for the 1996 quarter increased 16.1% to $2,527,870,
from $2,177,418 for the 1995 quarter. This increase was primarily the result
of growth in the Company's investment assets due to continued premium growth,
which was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on the
Company's investments, at cost, to 6.43% for the 1996 quarter from 6.10% for
the 1995 quarter. ANIC's average investments of $13,152,621, invested at an
average yield of 6.87%, produced an additional $74,110 for the 1996 quarter.
BENEFITS TO POLICYHOLDERS. Total benefits to policyholders in the
1996 quarter increased 23.0% to $20,161,328 compared to $16,387,215 in the
1995 quarter.
Excluding ANIC, accident and health benefits to policyholders in the
1996 quarter increased 21.2% to $19,416,579 compared to $16,021,632 in the
1995 quarter. The Company's accident and health loss ratio (the ratio of
benefits to policyholders to total accident and health premiums) was 62.7% in
the 1996 quarter, compared to 62.8% in the 1995 quarter. The accelerated
claims reported throughout 1996, due to the Company's offer to waive a policy
elimination period if the insured agrees to utilize case management, remained
higher at the start of the quarter, but showed a declining trend by the end
of the 1996 quarter. Management expects that this acceleration of reported
claims has all been recognized by the end of the 1996 quarter. Benefits for
long-term disability from ANIC totaled $260,320 for the 1996 quarter.
Life benefits to policyholders in the 1996 quarter increased to
$484,429, compared to $365,583 for the 1995 quarter. The life loss ratio
(the ratio of claims experience and increases in policy reserves to total
life premium) was 55.4% in the 1996 quarter, compared to 49.0% in the 1995
quarter, and reflects the actual claims incurred and actuarial reserves
necessary to support the portfolio mix of business.
COMMISSIONS. Commissions to agents increased 15.1% to
$10,658,991 in the 1996 quarter compared to $9,261,009 in the 1995 quarter.
In addition, ANIC commissions on long-term disability policies generated
$67,689 in the 1996 quarter.
Excluding ANIC, first year commissions on accident and health business in
the 1996 quarter increased 9.2% to $7,116,404, compared to $6,517,477 in the
1995 quarter, corresponding to the increase in first year accident and health
premiums. The ratio of first year accident and health commissions to first
year accident and health premiums was 64.8% in the 1996 quarter and 66.0% in
the 1995 quarter. First year commissions on life business in the 1996
quarter decreased 26.3% to $227,598, compared to $308,743 in the
10
<PAGE>
1995 quarter, directly reflecting the Company's reduction in first year life
premiums. The ratio of first year life commissions to first year life
premiums was 66.0% in the 1996 quarter compared to 81.0% in the 1995 quarter.
Renewal commissions on accident and health business in the 1996
quarter increased 33.2% to $3,182,832, compared to $2,389,987 in the 1995
quarter, consistent with the increase in renewal premiums discussed above.
The ratio of renewal accident and health commissions to renewal accident and
health premiums was 15.9% in the 1996 quarter and 15.3% in the 1995 quarter.
This ratio fluctuates in relation to the age of the policies in force and the
rates of commissions paid to the agents.
NET POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS DEFERRED. The net deferred policy
acquisition costs in the 1996 quarter increased 15.5% to $4,053,954 compared
to $3,508,846 in the 1995 quarter, consistent with the growth of the
Company's business. This deferral is net of amortization, which decreases or
increases as the Company's actual persistency is higher or lower than the
persistency assumed for reserving purposes. The deferral of policy
acquisition costs has remained consistent with the growth of premiums, and
the growth in amortization of policy acquisition costs has been modified by
improved persistency.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses in the 1996 quarter increased 26.9% to $3,850,155, compared to
$3,033,698 in the 1995 quarter. This increase was due to $167,414 related to
the operating expense and amortization of goodwill of ANIC and to the
increase in the growth of the Company's business. The ratio of general and
administrative expenses to total premiums, excluding ANIC, remained at 11.6%
in the 1996 quarter. As the Company utilizes, and expenses, case management
for claims, expenses increase while claims costs are expected to decrease by
a greater amount.
PROVISION FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The provision for federal
income taxes recorded by the Company for the 1996 quarter increased 31.9% to
$1,324,276, compared to $1,004,000 for the 1995 quarter. The effective tax
rate of approximately 30% in both the 1996 quarter and in the 1995 quarter
was below the normal federal corporate rate as a result of credits from the
small life insurance company deduction as well as the Company's investments
in tax-exempt bonds.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995:
ACCIDENT AND HEALTH PREMIUMS. First year accident and health
premiums earned by the Company in the nine month period ended September 30,
1996 (the "1996 period"), increased 21.0% to $32,195,941, compared to
$26,603,300 in the same period in 1995 (the "1995 period"). First year
long-term care premiums in the 1996 period increased 20.2% to $31,750,676,
compared to $26,410,217 in the 1995 period. This increase was primarily
attributable to increased sales of home health care policies, which increased
to $15,160,511 for the 1996 period from $9,217,563 for the 1995 period.
Premiums from sales of nursing home care policies decreased from $17,192,654
in the 1995 period to $16,590,165 in the
11
<PAGE>
1996 period. Management believes that the increase in the sale of home health
care policies reflects the continued growth in the home health care market.
Management further believes that the decrease in the sale of nursing home
policies primarily resulted from nursing home policies increasingly being
sold as riders to home care policies as opposed to separate stand-alone
policies. First year Medicare supplement premiums earned by the Company in
the 1996 period increased to $445,265 from $193,083 in the 1995 period. The
Company places reduced emphasis upon this product due to reduced
profitability caused by regulation.
Renewal accident and health premiums earned by the Company in the
1996 period increased 28.6% to $59,635,823, compared to $46,363,391 in the
1995 period. Renewal long-term care premiums in the 1996 period increased
30.4% to $57,677,311, compared to $44,241,488 in the 1995 period. This
increase reflects higher persistency and growth of in-force premiums. Renewal
Medicare supplement premiums earned by the Company in the 1996 period
decreased 7.7% to $1,958,512, compared to $2,121,903 in the 1995 period. This
trend is consistent with the Company's decision not to actively pursue
Medicare supplement business.
In addition, ANIC, which the Company acquired on August 30, 1996,
generated accident and health premiums, comprised primarily of long-term
disability coverage, of $547,012 during the 1996 period.
LIFE PREMIUMS. First year life premiums earned by the Company
decreased 13.5% to $1,093,827, in the 1996 period, compared to $1,264,120 in
the 1995 period. The Company's life business has remained stable as the
Company is focusing its marketing efforts on its Independent Living policy
and its other long-term care products. Renewal life premiums in the 1996
period increased to $1,592,126, compared to $1,123,864 in the 1995 period.
This increase was primarily the result of renewals of first-year policies
written in 1995.
In order to enhance the marketability of certain products, the
Company has recently emphasized offering new policyholders a monthly premium
payment plan. The Company believes that the lower monthly payment is more
attractive than the historical larger annual premium payment and that
offering the monthly payment option enables it to sell more policies.
However, because the Company records premiums when due, and a higher
percentage of new policyholders opted for the monthly payment option in the
1996 period compared with the 1995 period, management believes that it has
experienced a delay in premium recognition of approximately $3,750,000
throughout the 1996 period.
NET INVESTMENT INCOME. Net investment income earned by the
Company for the 1996 period increased 32.2% to $7,493,143 from $5,666,792 for
the 1995 period. This increase was primarily the result of growth in the
Company's investment assets due to continued premium growth and additional
funds of approximately $26,000,000 from the Company's public offering in July
1995, which were partially offset by a decrease in the
12
<PAGE>
average yield at cost on the Company's investments to 6.67% for the 1996
period from 6.69% for the 1995 period.
BENEFITS TO POLICYHOLDERS. Benefits to policyholders in the 1996
period increased 30.1% to $61,779,767, including ANIC expenses of $260,320,
compared to $47,498,682 in the 1995 period. Accident and health benefits to
policyholders in the 1996 period increased 30.1% to $60,274,779 compared to
$46,314,600 in the 1995 period. The Company's accident and health loss ratio
was 65.2% in the 1996 period, compared to 63.5% in the 1995 period. This
increase in loss ratio was due, in part, to the increase in premium and
policies of the Company's Independent Living policy which is reserved for at
a higher rate, and also to improved persistency. In addition, management
believes that claims were reported more quickly throughout the 1996 period
due to the Company's offer to waive a policy elimination period if the
insured agreed to utilize a Case Manager. Management expects that this
acceleration of reported claims will all be recognized by the end of the 1996
period.
Life benefits to policyholders in the 1996 period increased to
$1,504,988, compared to $1,184,082 for the 1995 period. The life loss ratio
was 56.0% in the 1996 period, compared to 49.6% in the 1995 period. This
increase relates to the maturing of the life products that the Company first
introduced in 1993.
COMMISSIONS. Commissions to agents increased 21.1% to
$31,529,578 in the 1996 period compared to $26,032,354 in the 1995 period. In
addition, ANIC commissions on long-term disability policies generated $67,689
of expenses in the 1996 period.
For the Company, excluding ANIC, first year commissions on
accident and health business in the 1996 period increased 19.7% to
$21,027,007, compared to $17,562,104 in the 1995 period, corresponding to the
increase in first year accident and health premiums. The ratio of first year
accident and health commissions to first year accident and health premiums
was 65.3% in the 1996 period and 66.0% in the 1995 period. First year
commissions on life business in the 1996 period decreased 17.3% to $806,627,
compared to $975,343 in the 1995 period, directly reflecting the Company's
reduction in first year life premiums. The ratio of first year life
commissions to first year life premiums was 73.7% in the 1996 period compared
to 77.2% in the 1995 period.
Renewal commissions on accident and health business in the 1996
period increased 27.9% to $9,440,753, compared to $7,381,518 in the 1995
period, remaining consistent with the increase in renewal premiums discussed
above. The ratio of renewal accident and health commissions to renewal
accident and health premiums was 15.8% in the 1996 period and 15.9% in the
1995 period. This ratio fluctuates in relation to the age of the policies in
force and the rates of commissions paid to the producing agents.
NET POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS DEFERRED. The net deferred policy
acquisition costs in the 1996 period increased 33.5% to $13,526,533 compared
to $10,134,069 in the 1995 period, consistent with the growth of the
Company's business. This deferral is net of amortization, which decreases or
increases as the Company's actual persistency is higher or
13
<PAGE>
lower than the persistency assumed for reserving purposes. The deferral of
policy acquisition costs has remained consistent with the growth of premiums,
and the growth in amortization of policy acquisition costs has been modified
by improved persistency.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative
expenses in the 1996 period increased 20.6% to $10,643,236, compared to
$8,827,055 in the 1995 period. ANIC expenses accounted for an additional
$167,414 in the 1996 period. The ratio of general and administrative expenses
to total revenues decreased to 10.3% in the 1996 period, compared to 10.9% in
the 1995 period due to increases in investment income and operating
efficiencies realized with premium growth throughout the 1996 period.
PROVISION FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The provision for federal
income taxes recorded by the Company for the 1996 period increased 41.0% to
$3,714,276, compared to $2,635,000 for the 1995 period. The effective tax
rate of 30.0% in both the 1996 period and in the 1995 period was below the
normal federal corporate rate as a result of credits from the small life
insurance company deduction as well as the Company's investments in
tax-exempt bonds.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's consolidated liquidity requirements have
historically been created and met from the operations of its insurance
subsidiaries. The Company's primary sources of cash are premiums and
investment income. The Company has provided, and may continue to provide,
cash through public offerings of its common stock, capital markets activities
or debt instruments. The primary uses of cash are policy acquisition costs
(principally commissions), payments to policyholders, investment purchases
and general and administrative expenses.
Statutory requirements allow insurers to pay dividends only from
statutory earnings as approved by the state insurance commissioner. Statutory
earnings are generally lower than publicly-reported earnings due to the
immediate or accelerated recognition of all costs associated with premium
growth and benefit reserves. The Company has not and does not intend to pay
shareholder dividends in the near future due to these requirements, choosing
to retain statutory surplus to support continued premium growth.
The Company invests in securities and other investments
authorized by applicable state laws and regulations and follows an investment
policy designed to maximize yield to the extent consistent with liquidity
requirements and preservation of assets. On December 31, 1995, the average
maturity of the Company's bond portfolio was 6.4 years, and its market value
exceeded cost by 4.1% or approximately $5,643,000. On December 31, 1994, the
average maturity of the Company's bond portfolio was 6.9 years and its market
value was below cost by 4.4% or approximately $4,165,000. The Company's
equity portfolio exceeded cost by $503,083 or 23.9% in 1995 and $52,780 or
6.0% in 1994. At September 30, 1996, the average maturity of the Company's
bond portfolio was 6.3 years,
14
<PAGE>
and its market value represented approximately 100.2% of its cost, with a
current gain of $413,907.
In December 1994, a loan was extended to the Company by a bank in
the amount of $4,000,000. The proceeds of the loan were contributed to the
surplus of PTLIC in the form of cash to strengthen its overall capital
position. The Company repaid this loan as required by the loan agreement,
with a portion of the proceeds of the Company's public offering of 2,300,000
shares of Common Stock. The public offering was consummated on July 6, 1995,
and the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $26,000,000, including
the proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option.
On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS 115. The cumulative
effect of adoption of SFAS 115 was an increase in shareholders' equity of
$3,528,512, net of taxes, for unrealized gains of $5,040,731 in the
investment securities available for sale portfolio. During the year ended
December 31, 1994, the Company experienced a decrease in unrealized gains of
$9,205,393. As of December 31, 1994, shareholders' equity was decreased by
$2,713,842 due to unrealized losses of $4,111,882 in the investment
portfolio. As of December 31, 1995, shareholders' equity was increased by
$4,055,788 due to unrealized gains of $6,145,649 in the investment portfolio.
As of September 30, 1996, shareholders' equity was increased by $1,047,659
due to unrealized gains of $1,587,362 in the investment portfolio.
During 1993, the Company contributed $2,000,000 in bonds to PTLIC
and Network America. During 1994, the Company contributed $4,000,000 in cash
to PTLIC. The capital position of PTLIC and Network America was further
improved by the contribution of $14,000,000 of the net proceeds of the public
offering in 1995 to the capital and surplus of PTLIC and Network America
during the third quarter of 1995. In November 1996, the Company contributed
an additional $5,000,000 of the net proceeds of the public offering in July
1995 to Network America. The Company believes that its insurance
subsidiaries' capital and surplus presently meet or exceed the requirements
in all jurisdictions in which they are licensed.
The Company's debt currently consists primarily of a mortgage
note in the approximate amount of $2,000,000. This note is currently
amortized over 12 years, and has a balloon payment due on the remaining
outstanding balance in September 1998. Although the note carries a variable
interest rate, the Company has entered into an amortizing swap agreement,
with a notional amount equal to the outstanding debt, which has the effect of
converting the note to a fixed rate of interest.
On November 26, 1996, the Company sold $65,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 6-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the
"Notes"). The Company granted to the initial purchasers the option to
purchase up to an additional $9,750,000 principal amount of the Notes solely
to cover over-allotments, which option was excercised in full. The Notes
will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at any time
after February 24, 1996, until the close of business November 28,
15
<PAGE>
2003, subject to prior redemption or repurchase, at an initial conversion
price of $28.44 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.
The Notes will be redeemable by the Company at declining redemption prices
commencing in December 1999. The purpose of the offering is to provide funds
to support future growth. The Company intends to register the Notes and the
underlying Common Stock within 90 days of the first issuance of the Notes.
The Notes were offered through initial purchasers in the United
States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and to a limited number of
institutional "accredited investors" as defined in the Act. The remainder of
the Notes will be offered by the initial purchasers outside the United States
in reliance on Regulation S under the Act.
The Notes issued and sold in reliance on Rule 144A are eligible for
trading on the PORTAL Market of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc.
The Company's continued growth is dependent upon its ability to (i)
continue marketing efforts to expand its historical markets, (ii) continue to
expand its network of agents and effectively market its products in states
where its insurance subsidiaries are currently licensed and (iii) fund such
marketing and expansion while at the same time maintaining minimum statutory
levels of capital and surplus required to support such growth. Management
believes that the funds necessary to accomplish the foregoing, including
funds required to maintain adequate levels of statutory surplus in the
Company's insurance subsidiaries can be met for the foreseeable future by
funds generated from this offering, the Company's public offering in 1995 and
from operations.
In the event (i) the Company fails to maintain minimum loss ratios
calculated in accordance with statutory guidelines, (ii) the Company fails to
meet other requirements mandated and enforced by regulatory authorities,
(iii) the Company has adverse claims experience in the future, (iv) the
Company is unable to obtain additional financing to support future growth, or
(v) the economy continues to effect the buying powers of senior citizens, the
Company's results of operations, liquidity and capital resources could be
adversely affected.
