BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated annual financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2001. 8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. This Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Report, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of Management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate" or "believe" or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Such statements are based upon numerous assumptions about future conditions which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate and actual events and results may materially differ from anticipated results described in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations ("cautionary statements") include the risks inherent generally in the insurance and financial services industries, the impact of competition and product pricing, changing market conditions, the risks disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the Year Ended December 31, 2001 under "ITEM 6--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION," as well as the risks disclosed in this Report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The Company assumes no duty to update or revise its forward-looking statements based on changes in internal estimates or expectations or otherwise. As a result, the reader is cautioned not to place reliance on these forward-looking statements. General The Company's primary focus is its life insurance operations. Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months ended September 30, 2001 Revenue. Total revenues increased 18% from $98,509 to $116,036 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2002, respectively. Revenues attributable to life insurance increased 5% from $99,622 to $104,178 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2001. Investment income decreased 12% from $73,906 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $64,813 for the three months ended September 30, 2002, primarily as a result of historically low interest rates which have increased prepayments of government securities which comprise a significant portion of the Company's investment portfolio. The Company recognized a loss on the write-down of an impaired security during the quarter in the amount of $35,411. The Company continues to hold the security. Net losses on trading securities of $32,651 were reported for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net losses on trading securities of $104,479 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The terrorist acts of September 2001 severely impacted the market during that month and a slow economic recovery has had lasting repercussions in the market over the last twelve months. The Company began trading securities in the fourth quarter of 2000 and is required to report unrealized gains and losses in operations. The realized gain or loss for each trading security may differ materially depending on the date of sale, the underlying performance of the represented company and other market conditions. 9 Other income decreased from $29,460 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $15,107 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Other income results from administration contracts whereby the Company administers blocks of business for third parties and the Company also generates commission income from ceded reinsurance. Costs and Expenses. Total expenses increased 53% from $152,560 to $233,448 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Policies written in the third quarter of 2002 resulted in substantial increases in reserves while the third quarter of 2001 reflected slight decreases. The increase in expenses is a result of marketing strategies employed by the Company that have been responsible for increases in premium revenues. Policy benefits decreased from $48,697 to $29,482 for the comparable periods. Policy reserves increased $89,189 for the comparable periods. Interest expense decreased from $3,179 to $97 for the comparable periods due to the reduction of Company debt. Depreciation and amortization decreased from $31,985 to $24,992 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively, as the Company continued to amortize the block of business acquired with Great Midwest Life Insurance Company. General expenses increased 31% from $67,209 to $87,942 for the comparable periods due in part to commission expense associated with the new business written by the Company. Income/Loss. The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2002 of $117,412, compared to a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2001 of $54,051. The Company increased revenues from life insurance and reduced trading losses, but was impacted by the one-time security write-off and new business costs during the quarter. The Company reported net loss per share of $0.05 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a net loss of $0.03 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Nine Months ended September 30, 2001 Revenue. Total revenues increased 60% from $408,877 to $652,390 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2002, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of business from Presidential Life Insurance Company of Dallas, Texas ("Presidential") that was completed in August 2001, as well as the sale of a communications tower lease for $211,000 in June 2002. Revenues attributable to life insurance decreased 24% from $301,887 to $228,770 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period ended September 30, 2001. The decrease was due primarily to the sale of several sizeable contracts during the second and third quarters of 2001. Investment income increased 70% from $244,195 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $415,192 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily as a result of the sale of a communications tower lease for $211,000. The Company recognized a loss on the write-down of an impaired security during the third quarter of 2002 in the amount of $35,411. The Company continues to hold the security. Net losses on trading securities of $4,977 were reported for the period ended September 30, 2002 compared to losses on trading securities of $178,341 for the period ended September 30, 2001. The terrorist acts of September 2001 severely impacted the market during that month and a slow economic recovery has had lasting repercussions in the market over the last twelve months. The Company began trading securities in the fourth quarter of 2000 and is required to report unrealized gains and losses in operations. The realized gain or loss for each trading security may differ materially depending on the date of sale, the underlying performance of the represented company and other market conditions. 10 Other income decreased slightly from $47,966 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $46,316 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Other income results from administration contracts whereby the Company administers blocks of business for third parties and the Company also generates commission income from ceded reinsurance. Costs and Expenses. Total expenses decreased 16% from $740,304 to $622,130 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Reserve increases for the first nine months of 2002 were not as substantial as those reported in the first nine months of 2001 due to the amount and type of business written. As a result, the size of the reserve increase dropped substantially for the first nine months of 2002 as compared to the same period of 2001. Policy benefits increased from $106,597 to $136,954 for the comparable periods, due in part to the acquisition of business from Presidential. Policy reserves decreased $76,400 for the comparable periods. Interest expense decreased from $13,381 to $248 for the comparable periods due to the reduction of Company debt. Depreciation and amortization decreased from $89,470 to $72,723 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively, as the Company continued to amortize the block of business acquired with Great Midwest Life Insurance Company. General expenses decreased 14% from $290,378 to $249,459 for the comparable periods as a result of management cost containment programs. Net Gain/Loss. The Company reported a net gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $30,260, compared to a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 of $331,427. The increase was primarily due to the sale of a communications tower lease for $211,000 and the acquisition of business from Presidential. The Company reported income from the sale of a communications tower lease and reduced trading losses and operating costs significantly during the period. The Company reported a net loss per share of $0.00 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to a net loss of $0.16 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources Total assets were $6,993,523 at September 30, 2002, compared to $6,849,138 at September 30, 2001, an increase of 2%. The increase was due to new business written by the Company during the last twelve months. Total liabilities (primarily insurance reserves for future policyholder benefits) were $5,883,562 at September 30, 2002, compared to $5,556,230 at September 30, 2001, an increase of 6%. The increase was due primarily to new business written by the Company. Total stockholders' equity was $1,109,961 at September 30, 2002, compared to $1,292,908 at September 30, 2001, a decrease of 14%. The decrease was attributable to the Company's operating losses during the last twelve months. The principal requirements for liquidity in connection with the Company's operations are its contractual obligations to policyholders and annuitants. The Company's contractual obligations include payments of surrender benefits, contract withdrawals, policy loans and claims under outstanding insurance policies and annuities. Payment of surrender benefits is a function of "persistency," which is the extent to which insurance policies are maintained by the policyholder. Policyholders sometimes do not pay premiums, thus causing their policies to lapse, or policyholders may choose to surrender their policies for their cash surrender value. If actual experience of a policy or block of policies is different from the initial or acquisition date assumptions, a gain or loss could result. Depending on the nature of the underlying policy, a lapse or surrender may result in surrender charge revenue or surrender benefit expense. Such amounts may be less than, or greater than, unamortized acquisition expenses and/or the related policy reserves; accordingly, current period earnings may either increase or decrease. Additionally, policy lapses and surrenders may result in lost future revenues and profits associated with those policies that are lapsed or surrendered. 11 The Company acquired commercial property during the third quarter of 2002 for $529,871. The property, which is located in the Oklahoma City metro area, consists of offices and an extended warehouse, as well as land surrounding the building. The Company currently rents the offices to tenants, but may move its corporate operations to the property and sell or lease the building which houses its current offices. In addition, during the fourth quarter the Company has expended, and expects to further expend, a total of approximately $300,000 to convert the warehouse and remaining land into temperature controlled and regular mini-storage units. When the property is fully leased, the Company expects to recognize investment income from the property. The purchase of the property and the improvements were and are being made from existing cash flow from operations." The Company currently funds most of its activity directly from cash flow from operations and cash flow from activities, which includes deposits to policyholders' account balances. The Company's liquidity position showed improvement from the previous comparable quarter, with a 39% net increase in cash and cash equivalents. However, this liquidity was provided substantially from two nonrecurring transactions: the sale of a communications tower lease for $211,000 in June 2002 and the sale in June 2002 of 19,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $95,000. The Company has made and intends to make substantial expenditures in connection with its subsidiary's acquisition and marketing programs. Historically, the Company has funded these expenditures from cash flow from operations. The Company believes that the liquidity resulting from the transactions described above, together with anticipated cash from continuing operations, should be sufficient to fund its operations and the annual 10% dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock for at least the next 12 months. The Company may not, however, generate sufficient cash flow for these purposes. The Company's ability to fund its operations will depend on its future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond its control. Item 3. Controls and Procedures. The Company's principal executive officers and principal financial officers have concluded, based on their evaluation as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this Form 10-QSB, that its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective.
