INSURANCE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Insurance Management Solutions Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a holding company that was incorporated in the State of Florida in December 1996 by its parent, Bankers Insurance Group, Inc. (BIG). Historically, the Company has operated in two principal business segments: providing outsourcing services to the property and casualty insurance industry, with an emphasis on flood insurance; and providing flood zone determinations primarily to insurance companies and financial institutions. The Companys outsourcing services, which are provided by its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Insurance Management Solutions, Inc. (IMS) and Colonial Claims Corporation (Colonial), include for IMS: policy and claims administration (policy issuance, billing and collection) and information technology (IT) services; and for Colonial: claims adjusting and processing. The Companys flood zone determination services had been provided by Geotrac of America, Inc. (Geotrac), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, until December 28, 2001, when it was sold.
In 2002 and prior years, the Company was substantially dependent on the business of its affiliated insurance companies under the common control of BIG, as the Company derived a substantial portion of its revenue from outsourcing services provided to these affiliated companies and BIG.
The Company amended its existing Administration Services Agreement, effective October 1, 2001, with BIG (the BIG Service Agreement), such that, as of July 1, 2002, the Company no longer provides policy administration or claims processing services for BIGs personal (i.e., automobile and homeowners) insurance lines of business or claims processing for BIGs commercial insurance lines of business. The Company, pursuant to the BIG Service Agreement, continues to provide BIG with IT hosting and support services for a fixed monthly fee and also provides various other back-office support services, including cash office processing, records management, policy assembly, and print and mail distribution services, in connection with all of BIGs personal and commercial insurance lines of business. Effective August 12, 2002, the Company further amended the BIG Service Agreement. Pursuant to this amendment, the Company provides additional IT support services to BIG.
On August 15, 2002 the Company agreed to loan BIG and/or Bankers Underwriters, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of BIG (BUI), up to $7.0 million under a revolving line of credit (the Line of Credit), secured by the insurance flood book of BUI. The Line of Credit was established in connection with an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 15, 2002, by and among the Company and BIG, which Agreement and Plan of Merger was terminated as of November 21, 2002. All amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit (approximately $6.7 million) were paid in full, and the Line of Credit was terminated, on January 3, 2003.
Also, on January 3, 2003, BIG consummated the sale of First Community Insurance Company, a subsidiary of BIG and a fifty-state licensed insurance carrier (FCIC), and certain assets of BIG, including the rights to issue new and renewal flood insurance policies underwritten by BIG and its subsidiaries, Bankers Insurance Company (BIC), Bankers Security Insurance Company (BSIC) and FCIC, to Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF). FNF, a Fortune 500 company, is the largest title insurance and diversified real estate related services company in the United States, with total revenue of nearly $3.9 billion in 2001. The transaction involved more than 360,000 flood insurance policies originated through a nationwide network of approximately 10,000 independent agents in conjunction with the National Flood Insurance Plan.
Effective as of the consummation of the foregoing transaction between BIG and FNF, the Company entered into a new Flood Insurance Full Service Vendor Agreement, dated January 3, 2003 (the FCIC Service Agreement), with FCIC, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNF, pursuant to which the Company continues to provide policy administration, claims administration, data processing and other related services to FCIC in connection with FCICs Write Your Own (WYO) Flood Insurance Program. As of the date of this Report, FCICs WYO Program consists solely of the flood insurance book of business previously administered by the Company on behalf of BIG. Given, among other factors, FNFs substantial size and financial strength relative to BIG, the Company believes that FCICs prospects for both retention and growth of the existing flood insurance book of business are favorable. No assurances can be given, however, as to whether FCIC will be able to retain or grow the
5
existing flood insurance book of business, or as to whether the acquisition of FCIC and certain related assets by FNF from BIG will have a positive impact on the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations.
The FCIC Service Agreement expressly removed FCIC as a party from the BIG Service Agreement. As a result of the consummation of the sale of FCIC and related assets by BIG to FNF, the Companys reliance on its affiliated customers is expected to diminish significantly on a going-forward basis. Pursuant to the BIG Service Agreement, however, the Company continues to provide BIG, including its BIC and BSIC subsidiaries, with IT hosting and support services, as well as various other back-office support services, including cash office processing, records management, policy assembly, and print and mail distribution services, in connection with all of BIGs personal and commercial insurance lines of business, with no changes in the existing fee structure.
On April 9, 2003, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Fiserv, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (Fiserv), Fiserv Solutions, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiserv (Fiserv Solutions), and Fiserv Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiserv Solutions (Fiserv Merger Sub), providing for, among other things, the merger of Fiserv Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the Merger).
On June 23, 2003, the Company informed BIG that the First Amendment to the Insurance Administration Service Agreement, dated July 1, 2002, and the Second Amendment to the Insurance Administration Service Agreement (Amendments), dated August 12, 2002 were set to expire as of June 30, 2003. These Amendments were executed by and between IMS and BIC, BSIC and FCIC.
IMS informed BIG that these Amendments require written notification from BIC, BSIC and FCIC prior to July 1, 2003 with a statement of services to be provided by IMS on a month-to-month basis pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amendments. IMS is continuing to provide such services as per these Amendments, on a month-to-month basis, and BIG and IMS are negotiating provision of future services at this time. These Amendments therefore, continue in force as the Company and BIG negotiate with regard to future services to be provided to BIG. No assurances can be given as to what services will be provided to BIG in the future based on these negotiations and if so, what effect such services will have on the Companys revenues going forward, although it is expected that such services will diminish in the future.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2003. The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that should be expected for a full fiscal year.
6
Goodwill
Effective as of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, and 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, the Company retained an independent third-party investment banking firm to conduct an analysis of its goodwill valuation at January 1, 2002. This valuation determined that no impairment of the Companys goodwill existed as of January 1, 2002. At December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, managements assessment remains that no impairment exists.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its employee stock compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, with pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, had been applied. The Company amortizes compensation costs related to the pro forma disclosure using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the employees common stock options.
Had compensation cost for the Companys stock option plan been determined on the fair value at the grant dates for stock-based employee compensation arrangements consistent with the method required by SFAS 123, the Companys net loss and net loss per common share would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below.

During 2002 and 2001, there were no stock options granted and, as of June 30, 2003, there were no options that were exercisable. The per-share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2000 was $1.16 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; risk-free interest rate of 5.75%; expected volatility of 65%; and an expected life of 5 years.
Effective August 20, 2002, each of the Companys Directors and Executive Officers entered into a separate Option Termination Agreement whereby the Directors and Executive Officers agreed to the cancellation of all options granted under the Companys Long-Term Incentive Plan, Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan and/or Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. Additionally, all other stock options granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan were cancelled effective January 2003, subject to an Option Termination Agreement signed by each of the Companys current employees who held options under this plan. Consequently, no options remain outstanding under the aforementioned plans and no further options may be granted thereunder.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both a liability and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The Company does not anticipate that SFAS 150 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share
Net income/(loss) per common share, which represents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) since no dilutive securities were outstanding for all periods presented, is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator of the basic and dilutive EPS computation:

As of June 30, 2002 options to purchase 465,000 shares of Common Stock were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. There were no options to purchase shares of Common Stock outstanding at June 30, 2003.
NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
IPO Litigation
At a July 18, 2003 hearing, U.S. District Judge Richard A. Lazzara entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement of the class action lawsuit referred to as the IPO Litigation and described under the caption Item 1. Legal Proceedings in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2003 (the First Quarter Form 10-Q). As reported in the First Quarter Form 10-Q, the plaintiff agreed to accept, in full settlement of the IPO Litigation as to all defendants, the payment of $2.1 million to the plaintiff class by the issuer of the Companys applicable Directors and Officers and Company Reimbursement insurance policy. In May 2003, in anticipation of Judge Lazzaras approval of the settlement and pursuant to the parties Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, the insurer deposited those monies into an escrow account established and maintained by the plaintiffs attorneys.
Third-Party Contract Dispute
On June 5, 2003, the Company received a Notice of Dispute from a former unaffiliated third-party customer. This Notice of Dispute alleges that the Company materially breached its services agreement with this former customer by failing to design, construct, acquire or implement a software system that would enable it to provide the services set forth in the agreement. On July 3, 2003, the former customer submitted an Arbitration Notice to the Company under the services agreement. The Arbitration Notice seeks resolution of the following issues: (1) whether the Company breached the services agreement by failing to design, construct, acquire and/or implement the software systems that would enable the Company to provide the insurance administration services set forth in the services agreement; (2) whether the former customer is entitled to the return of the $1.0 million implementation charge it paid the Company upon execution of the services agreement, plus attorneys fees and any other cost, loss, damage or expense it incurred as a result of the Companys alleged failure to perform; (3) in the alternative, whether the Company was unjustly enriched by retaining the $1.0 million implementation charge when it allegedly failed to perform work of any value to the former customer; and (4) whether the $1.0 million implementation charge constitutes a preference under Pennsylvania statutory law such that the Company must return that amount to the former customer.

As previously disclosed, the Companys services agreement with this former customer was terminated in 2000, and the Company has previously recorded a liability of $800,000 relating to this matter. Management of the Company believes, however, that the allegations made by the former customer are without merit (and/or are subject to available defenses) and intends to vigorously defend the arbitration proceeding brought against it by the former customer. Nevertheless, no assurances can be given with respect to the outcome of this matter, and an adverse outcome in any such proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these other proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or liquidity, although no assurances can be given in this regard.
NOTE 4. OPERATIONAL MATTERS
During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company realized after-tax net income of approximately $287,000 and generated positive cash flows resulting in an increase in cash of approximately $800,000 as compared to the previous quarter. As of June 30, 2003, BIG owed the Company an aggregate of approximately $5.7 million under the BIG Service Agreement (substantially all of which was overdue), including approximately $731,000 in late payment fees. The Company has made written demand on BIG for payment in full of all past due amounts owed under the BIG Service Agreement, and the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors continues to consider various alternatives for collecting such past due amounts. If such past due amounts are not paid in full and BIG does not thereafter continue to pay amounts due under the BIG Service Agreement on a timely basis, it could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
On August 5, 2003, the Principal Shareholders and Fiserv, Fiserv Solutions and Fiserv Merger Sub entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement to Facilitate Merger, pursuant to which, among other things, the Principal Shareholders agreed to pay all amounts due the Company under the BIG Service Agreement (approximately $5.7 million as of June 30, 2003) out of the consideration otherwise to be received by the Principal Shareholders for their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger.
Management of the Company believes cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18.9 million at June 30, 2003 are adequate to support operating cash needs for the foreseeable future.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements (unaudited) and the notes thereto included in Item 1. Financial Statements above.
OVERVIEW
Insurance Management Solutions Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company) is a holding company that was incorporated in the State of Florida in December 1996 by Bankers Insurance Group, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, BIG), which contributed to the Company two of its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, Insurance Management Solutions, Inc. (IMS) and Bankers Hazard Determination Services, Inc. (BHDS) that were previously formed in August 1991 and June 1988, respectively. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, IMS and Colonial Claims Corporation (Colonial), provides comprehensive policy and claims outsourcing services to the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, with an emphasis on providing these services to the flood insurance market.
On January 3, 2003, BIG consummated the sale of First Community Insurance Company, a subsidiary of BIG and a fifty-state licensed insurance carrier (FCIC), and certain assets of BIG, including the rights to issue new and renewal flood insurance policies underwritten by BIG and its subsidiaries, Bankers Insurance Company
10
(BIC), Bankers Security Insurance Company (BSIC) and FCIC, to Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF). FNF, a Fortune 500 company, is the largest title insurance and diversified real estate related services company in the United States, with total revenue of nearly $3.9 billion in 2001. The transaction involved more than 360,000 flood insurance policies originated through a nationwide network of approximately 10,000 independent agents in conjunction with the National Flood Insurance Plan.
Effective as of the consummation of the foregoing transaction between BIG and FNF, the Company entered into a new Flood Insurance Full Service Vendor Agreement, dated January 3, 2003 (the FCIC Service Agreement), with FCIC, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNF, pursuant to which the Company continues to provide policy administration, claims administration, data processing and other related services to FCIC in connection with FCICs Write Your Own (WYO) Flood Insurance Program. As of the date of this Report, FCICs WYO Program consists solely of the flood insurance book of business previously administered by the Company on behalf of BIG. Given, among other factors, FNFs substantial size and financial strength relative to BIG, the Company believes that FCICs prospects for both retention and growth of the existing flood insurance book of business are favorable. No assurances can be given, however, as to whether FCIC will be able to retain or grow the existing flood insurance book of business, or as to whether the acquisition of FCIC and certain related assets by FNF from BIG will have a positive impact on the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations.
The FCIC Service Agreement expressly removed FCIC as a party from the BIG Service Agreement. Pursuant to the BIG Service Agreement, however, the Company continues to provide BIG, including its BIC and BSIC subsidiaries, with IT hosting and support services, including cash office processing, records management, policy assembly, and print and mail distribution services, in connection with all of BIGs personal and commercial insurance lines of business, with no changes in the existing fee structure.
On June 23, 2003, the Company informed BIG that the First Amendment to the Insurance Administration Service Agreement, dated July 1, 2002, and the Second Amendment to the Insurance Administration Service Agreement (Amendments), dated August 12, 2002 were set to expire as of June 30, 2003. These Amendments were executed by and between IMS and BIC, BSIC and FCIC.
IMS informed BIG that these Amendments require written notification from BIC, BSIC and FCIC prior to July 1, 2003 with a statement of services to be provided by IMS on a month-to-month basis pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Amendments. IMS is continuing to provide such services as per these Amendments, on a month-to-month basis, and BIG and IMS are negotiating provision of future services at this time. These Amendments therefore, continue in force as the Company and BIG negotiate with regard to future services to be provided to BIG. No assurances can be given as to what services will be provided to BIG in the future based on these negotiations and if so, what effect such services will have on the Companys revenues going forward, although it is expected that such services will diminish in the future.
The Company is a 68.2%-owned subsidiary of BIG, which was the Companys principal customer, representing 66.1% of outsourcing revenues, in 2002. IMSG has experienced a significant decline in its volume of outsourcing business over the past year due primarily to changes in the amounts and lines of insurance business serviced on behalf of BIG. Nevertheless, as a result of the consummation of the sale of FCIC and related assets by BIG to FNF, the Companys reliance on BIG is expected to diminish significantly on a going-forward basis.
ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the respective period-ended for such statements. The determination of estimates requires the use of judgment since future events and their
11
affect on the Companys operations cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Actual results typically differ from these estimates in some fashion, and at times, these variances may be material to the Companys financial statements. Management continually evaluates its estimates and assumptions, which are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under these circumstances, but these estimates and the Companys actual results are subject to certain risk factors. Nevertheless, management of the Company believes the following items involve a higher degree of complexity and judgment, and therefore, has commented on these items below.
(1) Valuation of Accounts Receivable and Due from Affiliate at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, respectively.
The Companys allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $179,000 and $145,000 at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, respectively, is based on managements estimates of the credit worthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information. In the opinion of management, the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts is believed to be an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Historically the level of recorded bad debt expense and write-offs has not been material to the Companys financial statements. Should business conditions deteriorate or any customer, including BIG, default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact upon the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
As of December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, respectively, BIG owed the Company an aggregate of approximately $4.9 million and $5.7 million (substantially all of which was overdue) under the BIG Service Agreement, including approximately $310,000 and $731,000 in late payment fees. The Company has made written demand on BIG for payment in full of all past due amounts owing under the BIG Service Agreement, and the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors continues to consider various alternatives for collecting such past due amounts. The Audit Committee and management of the Company believe that no valuation allowance for such past due fees should be recorded at June 30, 2003 based on discussions with management of BIG and an analysis of BIGs ability to make payment for such past due amounts.
On August 5, 2003, the Principal Shareholders and Fiserv, Fiserv Solutions and Fiserv Merger Sub entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement to Facilitate Merger, pursuant to which, among other things, the Principal Shareholders agreed to pay all amounts due the Company under the BIG Service Agreement (approximately $5.7 million as of June 30, 2003) out of the consideration otherwise to be received by the Principal Shareholders for their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger.
(2) Impairment Valuations
On a quarterly basis, management assesses the composition of the Companys assets and liabilities, as well as the events that have occurred and the circumstances that have changed since the most recent fair value determination. If events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the related asset or liability below its carrying amount, the related asset or liability would be tested for impairment.
Goodwill
Under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, the Company retained an independent third-party investment banking firm to conduct an analysis of its goodwill valuation at January 1, 2002. The valuation determined that no impairment of the Companys goodwill existed as of January 1, 2002. The Companys internal assessment during 2002 and 2003 concluded that no impairment existed at December 31, 2002 and at June 30, 2003.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets (principally property and equipment and an intangible service contract) whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Factors considered include current operating results, trends, and anticipated undiscounted future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent the sum of discounted (using the Companys incremental borrowing rate) estimated future cash flows (over a period ranging from generally four to ten years) expected to result from the use of the asset is less than the carrying value. Management of the Company believes no impairment exists for any of the periods presented.
12
Service Contract
In conjunction with the sale of Geotrac of America, Inc. (Geotrac), the Companys former flood zone determination subsidiary, on December 28, 2001, the Company obtained a favorable long-term service contract with Geotrac for flood zone determinations, which was recorded at its estimated fair value of $2,189,090 at December 27, 2001. Accumulated amortization was $387,807 and $681,062 at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2003, respectively. The unamortized balance is classified in Other Assets in the Companys consolidated balance sheet. This contract is amortized over the 10-year contract period using a method that approximates the projected annual requirements of flood zone determinations. The Companys internal assessments during 2002 and 2003 concluded that no impairment existed at December 31, 2002 or June 30, 2003.
(3) Estimated Liabilities
The Company makes a number of estimates in the ordinary course of business. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Companys financial condition. However, circumstances could change which would alter future financial information based upon a change in estimated-vs.-actual results.
The Company is subject to various matters of litigation in the ordinary course of business. Management estimates the potential amount of liability, based on various factors including historical experience and analysis of the relative merits of the litigation. To date, the Company has not had to pay any legal settlements in excess of existing insurance coverage.
On June 5, 2003, the Company received a Notice of Dispute from a former unaffiliated third-party customer. This Notice of Dispute alleges that the Company materially breached its services agreement with this former customer by failing to design, construct, acquire or implement a software system that would enable it to provide the services set forth in the agreement. On July 3, 2003, the former customer submitted an Arbitration Notice to the Company under the services agreement. The Arbitration Notice seeks resolution of the following issues: (1) whether the Company breached the services agreement by failing to design, construct, acquire and/or implement the software systems that would enable the Company to provide the insurance administration services set forth in the services agreement; (2) whether the former customer is entitled to the return of the $1.0 million implementation charge it paid the Company upon execution of the services agreement, plus attorney s fees and any other cost, loss, damage or expense it incurred as a result of the Companys alleged failure to perform; (3) in the alternative, whether the Company was unjustly enriched by retaining the $1.0 million implementation charge when it allegedly failed to perform work of any value to the former customer; and (4) whether the $1.0 million implementation charge constitutes a preference under Pennsylvania statutory law such that the Company must return that amount to the former customer.
As previously disclosed, the Companys services agreement with this former customer was terminated in 2000, and as of December 31, 2002, March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, the Company had previously recorded a liability of $800,000 relating to this matter. Management of the Company believes, however, that the allegations made by the former customer are without merit (and/or subject to available defenses) and intends to vigorously defend the arbitration proceeding brought against it by the former customer. Nevertheless, no assurances can be given with respect to the outcome of this matter, and an adverse outcome in any such proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2003
Outsourcing Services Revenues. Outsourcing services revenues decreased $3.9 million, or 39.0%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $10.0 million for the corresponding period in 2002. This decrease primarily relates to decreases in the Companys affiliated outsourcing revenues resulting from the implementation of changes to the BIG Service Agreement effective July 1, 2002. This resulted in significant changes in the amounts and lines of business that the Company processes for BIG, resulting in reduced homeowner and automobile outsourcing services revenue when compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. Also, as described above, in January 2003 the affiliated flood insurance book of business serviced by the Company was sold to FNF by BIG. See Overview. As a result of these changes, affiliated outsourcing services revenues decreased 88.7% from the prior year to approximately $777,000 and, correspondingly, unaffiliated outsourcing services revenues increased 71.8% from the corresponding period in 2002 to approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Slightly offsetting this revenue reduction was an increase in unaffiliated revenue of approximately $817,000 resulting from a contract with the Texas Fair Plan and Texas Windstorm Insurance Associations entered into in February 2003.
13
Cost of Outsourcing Services. Cost of outsourcing services decreased $4.5 million, or 52.9%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $8.5 million for the corresponding period in 2002. As a percentage of outsourcing services revenues, cost of outsourcing services decreased to 66.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 84.7% for the corresponding period in 2002. This $4.5 million decrease was due primarily to payroll and other staff-related expense decreases implemented in 2002 in response to the changes to the BIG Service Agreement effective July 1, 2002. In addition to the direct staff-related expense decreases, other indirect costs also decreased from the prior period, including leased office space expense, telephone, postage and printing costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $622,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the corresponding period of 2002. This decrease resulted primarily from decreases in administrative salary and related expenses and, to a lesser extent, decreases in operating expenses such as professional fees as compared to the prior year.
Management Services from Parent. Management Services from Parent decreased $184,000, or 100.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the corresponding period in 2002. The decrease was due to reduced office lease expense, as the Company no longer leases its office space from Bankers Financial Corporation, a subsidiary of BIG. Office lease costs are now reported under the caption Cost of Outsourcing Services above.
Interest Income. Interest Income increased $116,000, or 89.2%, to $246,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $130,000 in 2002. The increase resulted from interest earned on the remaining net cash proceeds from the sale of Geotrac in late December 2001, coupled with late payment fees accrued on past due service fees owed by BIG. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Provision/(Benefit) for Income Taxes. The Companys effective income tax/(benefit) rates were 38.1% and (37.2%) for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
For additional information on the reconciliation of the Companys effective income tax rate to the federal statutory income tax rate, see Note 8Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2003.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2003
Outsourcing Services Revenues. Outsourcing services revenues decreased $7.5 million, or 40.5%, to $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $18.5 million for the corresponding period in 2002. This decrease was due primarily to decreases in the Companys affiliated outsourcing revenues resulting from the implementation of changes to the BIG Service Agreement effective July 1, 2002. This resulted in significant changes in the amounts and lines of business that the Company processed for BIG, resulting in reduced homeowner and automobile outsourcing services revenue when compared with the corresponding period of the prior year. Also, as described above, in January 2003 the affiliated flood insurance book of business serviced by the Company was sold to FNF by BIG. See Overview. As a result of these transactions, affiliated outsourcing services revenues decreased 88.4% from the prior year to approximately $1.6 million and, correspondingly, unaffiliated outsourcing services revenues increased 107.5% from the prior year to approximately $9.3 million. Slightly offsetting this revenue reduction was an increase in unaffiliated revenue of approximately $817,000 resulting from the contract with the Texas Fair Plan and Texas Windstorm Insurance Associations entered into in February 2003.
Cost of Outsourcing Services. Cost of outsourcing services decreased $7.8 million, or 48.4%, to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $16.1 million for the corresponding period in 2002. As a percentage of outsourcing services revenues, cost of outsourcing services decreased to 75.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 87.3% for the corresponding period in 2002. This $7.8 million decrease was due primarily to payroll and other staff-related expense decreases implemented in 2002 in response to changes to the BIG Service Agreement effective July 1, 2002. In addition to the staff-related expense decreases, other indirect costs also decreased from the prior period, including leased office equipment, postage, printing and supply expenses, and contract labor costs.
14
Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately $700,000, or 18.9%, to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to $3.7 million for the corresponding period of 2002. This decrease consisted primarily of salary and related expense reductions due to attrition and the aforementioned changes to the BIG Service Agreement effective July 1, 2002. These were slightly offset by an increase in insurance expense due to increases in policy premiums for corporate insurance, primarily directors and officers liability insurance coverage.
Management Services from Parent. Management Services from Parent decreased $307,000, or 100.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the corresponding period in 2002. The decrease was due to reduced office lease expense, as the Company no longer leases its office space from Bankers Financial Corporation. Office lease costs are now reported under the caption Cost of Outsourcing Services above.
Interest Income. Interest Income increased 84.6% to $506,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $274,000 in 2002. The increase resulted from interest earned on the remaining net cash proceeds from the sale of Geotrac in late December 2001, coupled with late payment fees accrued on past due service fees owed by BIG. See Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Provision/(Benefit) for Income Taxes. The Companys effective income tax/(benefit) rates were (37.2%) and (37.3%) for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
For additional information on the reconciliation of the Companys effective income tax rate to the federal statutory income tax rate, see Note 8Income Taxes in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2002, included in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2003.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both a liability and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The Company does not anticipate that SFAS 150 will have a material impact on its financial statements.
See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Companys principal sources of liquidity consist of cash on-hand and cash proceeds from the sale of the Companys Geotrac subsidiary in late December 2001. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $19 million as a result of the sale of its Geotrac subsidiary in late December 2001.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company realized after-tax net income of approximately $287,000 and generated positive cash flows resulting in an increase in cash of approximately $800,000 as compared to the previous quarter. At June 30, 2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18.9 million.
As of June 30, 2003, BIG owed the Company an aggregate of approximately $5.7 million under the BIG Service Agreement (substantially all of which was overdue), including approximately $731,000 in late payment fees. The Company has made written demand on BIG for payment in full of all past due amounts owing under the BIG Service Agreement, and the Audit Committee of the Companys Board of Directors continues to consider various alternatives for collecting such past due amounts. If such past due amounts are not paid in full and BIG does not thereafter continue to pay amounts due under the BIG Service Agreement on a timely basis, it could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.
On August 5, 2003, the Principal Shareholders and Fiserv, Fiserv Solutions and Fiserv Merger Sub entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement to Facilitate Merger, pursuant to which, among other things, the Principal Shareholders agreed to pay all amounts due the Company under the BIG Service Agreement (approximately $5.7 million as of June 30, 2003) out of the consideration otherwise to be received by the Principal Shareholders for their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, the Company expects cash on hand to be adequate to support its operating cash needs for the foreseeable future, although no assurances can be given in this regard.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company has not entered into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believes that its exposure to market risk associated with other financial instruments (such as variable rate debt) is not material.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
IPO Litigation
At a July 18, 2003 hearing, U.S. District Judge Richard A. Lazzara entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement of the class action lawsuit referred to as the IPO Litigation and described under the caption Item 1. Legal Proceedings in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2003 (the First Quarter Form l0-Q). As reported in the First Quarter Form 10-Q, the plaintiff agreed to accept, in full settlement of the IPO Litigation as to all defendants, the payment of $2.1 million to the plaintiff class by the issuer of the Companys applicable Directors and Officers and Company Reimbursement insurance policy. In May 2003, in anticipation of Judge Lazzaras approval of the settlement and pursuant to the parties Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, the insurer deposited those monies into an escrow account established and maintained by the plaintiffs attorneys.
Third-Party Contract Dispute
On June 5, 2003, the Company received a Notice of Dispute from a former unaffiliated third-party customer. This Notice of Dispute alleges that the Company materially breached its services agreement with this former customer by failing to design, construct, acquire or implement a software system that would enable it to provide the services set forth in the agreement. On July 3, 2003, the former customer submitted an Arbitration Notice to the Company under the services agreement. The Arbitration Notice seeks resolution of the following issues: (1) whether the Company breached the services agreement by failing to design, construct, acquire and/or implement the software systems that would enable the Company to provide the insurance administration services set forth in the services agreement; (2) whether the former customer is entitled to the return of the $1.0 million implementation charge it paid the Company upon execution of the services agreement, plus attorneys fees and any other cost, loss, damage or expense it incurred as a result of the Companys alleged failure to perform; (3) in the alternative, whether the Company was unjustly enriched by retaining the $1.0 million implementation charge when it allegedly failed to perform work of any value to the former customer; and (4) whether the $1.0 million implementation charge constitutes a preference under Pennsylvania statutory law such that the Company must return that amount to the former customer. As previously disclosed, the Companys services agreement with this former customer was terminated in 2000, and the Company had previously recorded a liability of $800,000 relating to this matter.
Management of the Company believes, however, that the allegations made by the former customer are without merit (and/or subject to available defenses) and intends to vigorously defend the arbitration proceeding brought against it by the former customer. Nevertheless, no assurances can be given with respect to the outcome of this matter, and an adverse outcome in any such proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.

As previously reported, on April 9, 2003, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Fiserv, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (Fiserv), Fiserv Solutions, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiserv (Fiserv Solutions), and Fiserv Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiserv Solutions (Fiserv Merger Sub), providing for, among other things, the merger of Fiserv Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the Merger).
The Merger Agreement contemplates that, pursuant to the Merger, (i) subject to applicable dissenters rights available under Florida law, each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, $.01 par value (Company Common Stock), of the Company (other than the 8,354,884 shares (the BIG Shares) of Company Common Stock owned beneficially and of record by Bankers Insurance Company, a Florida corporation (BIC), Bankers Security Insurance Company, a Florida corporation (BSIC), Bonded Builders Service Corp., a Florida corporation (BBSC), and BIG, a Florida corporation and the direct or indirect parent corporation of each of BIC, BSIC and BBSC (BIG and, collectively with BIC, BSIC and BBSC, the Principal Shareholders) would be converted into the right to receive $3.30 in cash, without interest, and (ii) each BIG Share would be converted into the right to receive $3.26 in cash, without interest. As of the date of this Report, the BIG Shares constitute approximately 68.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.
The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will not be consummated unless certain conditions typical for this type of transaction are either satisfied or waived prior to closing. These conditions include, among other things, that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are approved (i) by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with Florida law and the Companys Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and (ii) by at least 50.01% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock not owned or controlled by the Principal Shareholders. In connection with the Merger Agreement, each of the Principal Shareholders entered into an Agreement to Facilitate Merger with Fiserv, Fiserv Solutions and Fiserv Merger Sub (the Agreement to Facilitate Merger), pursuant to which, among other things, the Principal Shareholders have agreed to (i) vote the BIG Shares in favor of the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) accept $3.26 per BIG Share, in cash, pursuant to the Merger. On August 5, 2003, the Principal Shareholders and Fiserv, Fiserv Solutions and Fiserv Merger Sub entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement to Facilitate Merger, pursuant to which, among other things, the Principal Shareholders agreed to pay all amounts due the Company under the BIG Service Agreement (approximately $5.7 million as of June 30, 2003) out of the consideration otherwise to be received by the Principal Shareholders for their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger.
The Board of Directors of the Company previously called a Special Meeting of Shareholders for the sole purpose of voting upon a proposal to approve the Merger and the Merger Agreement. The Company anticipates that in the near future the Board of Directors will redesignate the place, date and time of the Special Meeting, as well as fix a new record date for determining the shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting, although no assurances can be given in this regard.
