WA LSHIRE ASSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NO TES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, the consolidated
statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months then ended have been
prepared by Walshire Assurance Company ( the Company ) without audit. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at March 31, 1996 and for all periods presented, have
been made.
2. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto
included in the Company s 1995 Annual Report dated February 29, 1996. The
results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
3.Net income per common share is computed after recognition of preferred stock
dividend requirements and is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. The number of common
shares was increased by the number of shares issuable on the exercise of options
when the market price of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the
options. This increase in the number of common shares was reduced by the number
of common shares that are assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds from
the exercise of the options; these purchases were assumed to have been made at
the average price of the common stock during that part of the year when the
market price of the common stock exceeded the exercise price of the options.
Item 2. Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 increased $2.6 million,
or 28.2%, from revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1995. This
increase was primarily the result of an increase in premiums earned. Direct
premiums written increased 26.7% in the three month period ended March 31, 1996
when compared to the same period in 1995. The following table sets forth the
direct premiums written by the Company for the three month periods ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 by line of business.
(In thousands)
Three months ended March 31,
1996 1995 %Change
Auto liability $ 6,165 $ 4,988 23.6 %
Auto physical damage 5,532 4,285 29.1 %
Workers compensation 1,788 1,215 47.2 %
Inland marine 856 682 25.5 %
Other 98 230 (57.4)%
Total $14,439 $11,400 26.7 %
6
Expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 increased $3.7 million,
or 48.4%, over expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1996. The
increase was the result of increases in net claims and claim settlement
expenses, amortization of deferred acquisition costs and underwriting, general
and administrative expenses. Increases in net claims and claim settlement
expenses
were the result of increases in earned premiums, as well as an increase in the
statutory loss ratio from 60.8% in 1995 to 72.6% in 1996. In the first quarter
of 1996, claims were negatively impacted as a result of the most severe winter
weather conditions in recent history. The increase in the amortization of
deferred acquisition costs was primarily the result of the increase in net
premiums earned. Increases in underwriting, general and administrative expenses
were primarily the result of increases in premiums written. The statutory
combined ratio for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was 101.9%, an
increase from 88.0% for the three month period ended March 31, 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, the Company has generated funds sufficient to support its
operations and has maintained a high degree of liquidity in its investment
portfolio. The primary sources of funds to meet the demands of claim
settlements
and operating expenses are premiums, ceding commissions and investment income.
The Company s funds generally are invested in securities with maturities
intended
to provide adequate funds to pay claims and expenses without the forced sale of
investments. The Company believes that its current cash and short term
investments, together with funds generated from operations, will be sufficient
to meet its operating and capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
