NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Brooke Capital Corporation (“BCP” formerly First American Capital Corporation) and its Subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected therein.
Certain financial information which is normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, but which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
A complete summary of significant accounting policies is included in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.
2. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) is calculated by including the weighted average effect of dilutive warrants outstanding during the periods. The weighted average number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants assumes that the applicable proceeds from such exercises are used to acquire treasury shares at the average price of common stock during the periods. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, were determined as follows (adjusted for the 1-for-3 reverse stock split approved by the Company’s shareholders on January 31, 2007 and effective as of April 13, 2007):

2. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share (continued)
On April 2, 2007, the Company concluded a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer for shares of its common stock. The Company accepted for purchase 379,248 (126,416 post 1-for-3 reverse stock split) shares of its common stock at a price of $1.60 ($4.80 post split) per share for an aggregate price paid to shareholders of approximately $607,000. In connection with the execution of the reverse stock split, the Company purchased an additional 2,253 shares of common stock in accordance with its commitment to purchase for cash, any fractional shares that resulted from the reverse stock split. As of October 31, 2007, the Company had 3,475,817 shares of common stock outstanding.
3. Federal Income Taxes
Current taxes are provided based on estimates of the projected effective annual tax rate. Deferred taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company has elected to file a consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries, First Life America Corporation (“FLAC”) and Brooke Capital Advisors, Inc., (“BCA”) for 2007 and 2006. FLAC is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and had to file a separate tax return for its initial five years of existence, which covers the period from November 1998 through December 31, 2002.
4. Reinsurance
Effective September 29, 2005, the Company and Wilton Reassurance Company (“Wilton Re”), of Wilton, CT, executed a binding letter of intent whereby both parties agreed that the Company would cede the simplified issue version of its Golden Eagle Whole Life (Final Expense) product to Wilton Re on a 50/50 quota share original term coinsurance basis. The letter of intent was executed on a retroactive basis to cover all applicable business issued by the Company subsequent to January 1, 2005. Wilton Re has agreed to provide various commission and expense allowances to the Company in exchange for the Company ceding 50% of the applicable premiums to Wilton Re as they are collected. As of June 24, 2006, Wilton Re terminated the reinsurance treaty, for new business issued after the termination date.
5. Other Regulatory Matters
The Company believes that it is currently in material compliance with all state, federal and foreign regulations to which the Company is subject and the Company is unaware of any pending or threatened investigation, action or proceeding by any state federal or foreign regulatory agency involving the Company that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
FLAC is licensed to transact life and annuity business in the states of Kansas, Texas, Illinois, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Kentucky, Nebraska and Ohio. In the fourth quarter 2005, Ohio suspended FLAC’s license because its statutory capital and surplus fell below the minimum amount of $2,500,000 as of September 30, 2005. This shortfall was corrected as of December 31, 2005 and Ohio reinstated FLAC’s license in 2006. FLAC operated under a Confidential Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which restricted its ability to write new business in Ohio until May 3, 2007, when FLAC was released from its MOU with the Ohio Department of Insurance. FLAC is now working to re-establish relationships with agents in that market.
6. Stock-Based Compensation
The Brooke Capital Corporation 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is shareholder-approved, allows the Company to provide incentives and rewards to those employees and directors largely responsible for the success and growth of Brooke Capital Corporation and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Company believes that such incentives and rewards more closely align the interests of such persons with those of the shareholders of Brooke Capital Corporation.

6. Stock-Based Compensation (continued)
The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2,400,000 shares of Company common stock to be issued pursuant to awards made under the Plan in the form of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, performance units and restricted share units. On August 15, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Brooke Capital Corporation awarded 390,000 restricted shares to officers and directors of the Company or its subsidiary.
Pursuant to the Restricted Shares Agreement between the Company and each recipient, the recipients are entitled to receive dividends and vote their shares in matters submitted to shareholder vote. Transfer restrictions lapse in one-third annual increments and will automatically lapse upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the sale by Brooke Corporation, the Company’s controlling shareholder, of all of its Company common stock.
The fair value of an award is determined based upon the market price for the Company’s common stock during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the valuation date, as set forth in the Plan. As the shares of the Company’s common stock were not listed for trading on any exchange on the award date (prior to their listing on the American Stock Exchange on August 30, 2007), the Compensation Committee determined the fair value for the restricted share awards granted on August 15, 2007 to be $5.00 per share, as provided under the terms of the Plan.
During the three month period ended September 30, 2007, $81,250 in compensation cost along with related deferred income tax benefits of $30,874, have been recorded by the Company. As of September 30, 2007, there was $1,868,750 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the three year vesting periods ending on August 15, 2010.

This report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2007 includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. Among other things, these statements relate to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and business. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “expect to,” “intend to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “plan,” “may,” “believe,” “implement,” “build,” “project” or similar expressions and references to strategies or plans.
While the Company provides forward-looking statements to assist in the understanding of the Company’s anticipated future financial performance, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date that the Company makes them. Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying its forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by these forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons. These risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, in its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in this section of this report and include, but are not limited to: the uncertainty that plans relating to the Company’s acquisition by merger of an insurance agency franchise business and the Company’s acquisition of a non-standard auto insurance company will be successfully implemented, the uncertainty as to the effect of the potential transaction on the earnings and operations of the Company; the uncertainty that the Company will achieve short-term and long-term profitability and growth goals, uncertainties associated with market acceptance of and demand for the products and services of the Company or its subsidiaries, the impact of competitive products and pricing, the dependence on third-party suppliers and their pricing, the availability of capital and funding sources, the exposure to market risks, uncertainties associated with the development of technology, changes in the law and in economic, political and regulatory environments, the impact of inflation and general economic conditions on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, changes in management, the dependence on intellectual property rights, the effectiveness of internal controls, and risks and factors described from time to time in reports and registration statements filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep these factors in mind as well as the other cautionary statements in this report. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. The Company is not obligated to update forward-looking statements.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accounting policies below have been identified as critical to the understanding of the results of operations and financial position. The application of these critical accounting policies in preparing the financial statements requires management to use significant judgments and estimates concerning future results or other developments, including the likelihood, timing or amount of one or more future transactions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On an ongoing basis, estimates, assumptions and judgments are evaluated based on historical experience and various other information believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Consulting Fees. Brooke Capital Advisors, Inc. (“BCA”) uses its industry contacts and expertise in insurance brokerage to broker loans for, and consult with, managing general agencies and managing general agencies that own insurance companies, specializing in hard-to-place insurance sales, captive insurance agencies and funeral homes. BCA receives consulting fees for these activities. The fees associated with this service are recognized upon loan closing as all of the consulting services related to the transaction have been provided by BCA at or prior to closing.
BCA will also use its expertise in the hard-to-place and niche insurance industry to preserve collateral and monitor insurance agency borrowers on behalf of lenders. Fees are received for this collateral preservation activity. An initial fee is received and recognized upon loan closing. Ongoing fees are received monthly from these activities and are recognized as services are provided.

Investments. The Company classifies all of its fixed maturity and equity investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale fixed maturities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, reported in other comprehensive income. Equity securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, reported in other comprehensive income. Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at cost less principal payments. Other investments are carried at amortized cost. Discounts originating at the time of purchase, net of capitalized acquisition costs, are amortized using the level yield method on an individual basis over the remaining contractual term of the investment. Policy loans are carried at unpaid balances. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in operations on the specific identification basis. Interest earned on investments is included in net investment income.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs. Commissions and other costs of acquiring life insurance, which vary with, and are primarily related to, the production of new business have been deferred to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues and gross profits. The acquisition costs are being amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy reserves.
Future Policy Benefits. Traditional life insurance policy benefit liabilities are computed on a net level premium method using assumptions with respect to current yield, mortality, withdrawal rates, and other assumptions deemed appropriate by the Company.
Future Annuity Benefits. Annuity contract liabilities are computed using the retrospective deposit method and consist of policy account balances before deduction of surrender charges, which accrue to the benefit of policyholders. Premiums received on annuity contracts are recognized as an increase in a liability rather than premium income. Interest credited on annuity contracts is recognized as an expense.
Premiums. Premiums for traditional life insurance products are reported as revenue when due. Traditional insurance products include whole life and term life. Deposits relate to deferred annuity products. The cash flows from deposits are credited to policyholder account balances. Deposits are not recorded as revenue.
Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are reported in the consolidated financial statements. Recorded amounts are adjusted to reflect changes in income tax rates and other tax law provisions as they become enacted.
Reinsurance. Reinsurance is one of the tools that the Company uses to accomplish its business objectives. A variety of reinsurance vehicles is currently in use. Reinsurance supports a multitude of corporate objectives including managing statutory capital, reducing volatility and reducing surplus strain. At the customer level it increases the Company’s capacity, provides access to additional underwriting expertise, and generally makes it possible for the Company to offer products at competitive levels that the Company could not otherwise bring to market without reinsurance support.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The Company’s consolidated results of operations continued to improve as a result of the expansion of its loan brokerage activities beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006 pursuant to a brokerage agreement with a Brooke Corporation (“Brooke”) subsidiary. Brooke continues to own a majority of the Company’s common stock, and is expected to increase its ownership level to over 81% as a result of two transactions that are expected to cluse during the fourth quarter 2007. That activity and other significant aspects of the Company’s operations during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 are discussed below as to their impact on the Company’s results and financial condition. The following table shows revenues and expenses (in thousands, except percentages) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, along with selected percentage changes from period to period.

Loan Brokerage Operations
The Company reported higher levels of revenue during the third quarter of 2007 compared to the third quarter of 2006 as a result of its ability to broker loans to managing general insurance agencies through its subsidiary, BCA. During this period, BCA generated about $2,900,000 in loan and other related fees. These amounts, along with other loan brokerage consulting related fees totaled $3,295,000 for the third quarter of 2007 and $7,540,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Virtually no similar fees were reported during the first nine months of 2006. Income before taxes from the loan brokerage subsidiary was about $1,927,000 and $4,859,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007.

Significant expenses related to the loan brokerage activity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 included salaries, wages and employee benefits of about $404,000 and $1,038,000, respectively. Incentive compensation related to third quarter loan closings is the primary reason for the increase in commissions and payroll related amounts payable at September 30, 2007. Other significant expenses during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 included loan brokerage expenses of about $443,000 and $568,000, respectively and shared services expenses of $435,000 and $870,000, respectively, paid to Brooke Corporation.

Net premium income levels for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 were similar to those reported in the comparable prior year periods. Gross first year premium income in 2007 continues to trail the levels reported during 2006 primarily due to FLAC’s inability to write new business in the state of Ohio during those periods and capital restrictions that limited it’s ability to promote other new business. FLAC was released from its Memorandum of Understanding with the Ohio Department of Insurance on May 3, 2007 and has now re-established relationships with agents in that market. The significant decline in first year reinsurance premiums ceded is due to the termination of the reinsurance treaty with Wilson Re for the life insurance company’s Final Expense product for policies issued after June 24, 2006.
Net renewal year premium income decreased slightly during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year periods. Renewal premiums reflect the premium collected in the current year for those policies that have surpassed their first policy anniversary. Gross renewal premiums will continue to increase unless premiums lost from surrenders, lapses, settlement options or application of the non-forfeiture options, exceed prior year’s first year premium. The increases in reinsurance premiums ceded are due to policies ceded to Wilton Re from January 1, 2005 to June 24, 2006 surpassing their first year policy anniversary.
Policy reserve expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 were comparable to the same periods in 2006. Life insurance reserves are actuarially determined based on such factors as insured age, life expectancy, mortality and interest assumptions. As more life insurance is written and existing policies reach additional durations, policy reserve requirements will continue to increase.

The Company’s experience with death claims declined significantly during the third quarter of 2007 as those expenses were 42% above the levels reported during the same period in the prior year. Death claims expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was 42% higher than the same period in 2006 reflecting the higher level of claims filed during the current quarter as compared to the same time period in 2006. As a result of recent payouts on death claims and a decline in the number of claims filed, the Company’s reported liability for policy claims is about $136,000 at September 30, 2007 as compared to $212,000 at December 31, 2006.
Commission expense increased 4% and 13% during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year periods. Commission expense is based on a percentage of premiums and is determined in the product design. Additionally, higher percentage commissions are paid for first year business than renewal year. The slight increase in this expense during the third quarter of 2007 is due to the termination of the reinsurance treaty with Wilton Re resulting in a reduction in first year commission allowance.
Policy acquisition costs deferred increased 44% and 21% during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year. These acquisition costs result from the capitalization of costs related to the sales of life insurance and include commissions on first year business, medical exam and inspection report fees, and salaries of employees directly involved in the marketing, underwriting and policy issuance functions. Management performs quarterly reviews of the recoverability of deferred acquisition costs based on current trends as to persistency, mortality and interest. These trends are compared to the assumptions used in the establishment of the original asset in order to assess the need for impairment. Based on the results of the aforementioned procedures performed by management, no impairments have been recorded against the balance of deferred acquisition costs.
Interest credited on annuities and premium deposits increased 41% and 38% during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year periods. A similar increase was noted during the first and second quarter of 2007 and reflects the increases in annuity fund balances due to deposits of about $4,832,000 less surrenders of about $962,000 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. Both interest credited on annuities and premium deposits have increased as a result of the increase in the number of policies inforce. Increases in the Company’s annuity and policy benefit liabilities are largely related to increased sales of the Company’s various annuity and life insurance products.
The Company’s available-for-sale fixed maturity securities increased to about $17,705,000 as a result of its ability to invest funds generated from the sale of annuity and other insurance products and other sources. Purchases of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities, net of maturities were about $5,686,000. Net investment income was 38% and 31% higher during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year periods primarily as a result of this growth in the portfolio. During the third quarter of 2007, the market value of the Company’s available-for-sale fixed maturity and equity securities increased by about $154,000, due primarily to changes in interest rates. As a result, the Company’s other comprehensive income was increased by about $123,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 the market values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities decreased by $278,000 resulting in a decrease in other comprehensive income of $222,000.
Corporate and other activities
During April 2007, the Company completed a tender offer, buying back 379,248 shares (126,416 post split) of its stock for a price of $1.60 per share ($4.80 post split). Also in April, the Company completed a 1-for-3 reverse stock split buying back 2,253 shares of common stock resulting from the split. Direct costs associated with the purchase of these shares have been included as a part of the overall cost of acquiring this Treasury stock.

The Company’s application with the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) for an original listing of its common stock was approved and trading in the Company’s stock commenced on August 30, 2007 under the symbol “BCP”.
On August 31, 2007, the Company entered into agreements with Brooke Corporation and its insurance agency subsidiary, Brooke Franchise Corporation (Brooke Franchise), and Delta Plus Holdings, Inc. (“Delta Plus”), the parent company of Traders Insurance Company, a non-standard auto insurance company. Under these agreements, the Company would acquire 100% ownership interests in both Brooke Franchise and Delta Plus in exchange for additional shares of its common stock. Upon closing of these transactions, Brooke Corporation will own almost 82% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (based upon ownership levels at September 30, 2007).
Consulting, legal, filing and other fees related to the contemplated transactions involving Brooke Franchise Corporation and Delta Plus and the application filed with the AMEX, represented approximately $520,000 and have been charged to expense during the three months ended September 30, 2007. These costs, along with the loan brokerage and shared services expenses incurred during the third quarter by BCA (described above) represent substantially all of the significant increases noted in the Company’s consolidated other operating costs and expenses during the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Similar increases were noted during the first two quarters of 2007 as compared to the prior periods.
The Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers assumed their current positions on March 1, 2007. Their compensation related expenses, along with those previously discussed for BCA, represent the major portion of the significant increases noted in the Company’s consolidated salaries, wages, and employee benefits expense during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. In addition, the Company made an approximate $150,000 severance payment to a former executive officer of a subsidiary who tendered his resignation during the third quarter of 2007.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company received $97,000 as a payout on its original investment in the stock of an unaffiliated insurance holding company. The resulting gain of $81,000 has been reported as income during the period.
The Company recorded consolidated income tax provisions of $338,000 and $1,226,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007. In recording this provision, the Company has recognized the benefit associated with utilization of available net operating loss carry-forward amounts, subject to limitations under the tax code. The Company’s deferred income tax asset and valuation allowance related to the benefit associated with remaining net operating loss carry-forward amounts have been reduced accordingly. Federal and state income taxes payable have been reduced for income taxes receivable related to amounts withheld by taxing authorities on certain lottery cash flow contracts held by the Company.
The Company’s other assets included net receivables from affiliates of about $3,613,000 and $1,196,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Other liabilities and salaries payable included amounts owed to affiliates of about $247,000 at September 30, 2007. The Company’s cash balances are sometimes commingled with the balances of Brooke and its other subsidiaries for cash management purposes. The Company and its affiliates receive and/or pay interest for the availability/use of these funds. As mentioned above, the Company recorded $470,000 and $905,000, in expense during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, in connection with shared services agreements with Brooke.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During 2007, the Company maintained liquid assets sufficient to meet operating demands, while continuing to utilize excess liquidity to make various investments. At September 30, 2007, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and other liquid assets, in thousands, included the following (as compared to December 31, 2006):
                                 
    Brooke Capital     Brooke Capital     First Life America        
    Corporation     Advisors     Corporation     Consolidated

  $ 259     $ 1,267     $ 18,612     $ 20,138  
 
                       
 
December 31, 2006
  $ 1,978     $ 1     $ 14,129     $ 16,108  
 
                       
During the first nine months of 2007, the Company’s net cash provided by operations was approximately $825,000 as compared to $330,000 during the first nine months of 2006. FLAC generally receives adequate cash flow from premium collections and investment income to meet the obligations of its insurance operations. Insurance policy liabilities are primarily long-term and generally are paid from future cash flows. Cash collected from deposits on annuity contracts and policyholder premium deposits are recorded as cash flows from financing activities.
Existing cash balances at the parent company-only combined with expected cash flows from its brokerage subsidiary, income tax sharing arrangements and administrative services reimbursements from FLAC are believed by management to be sufficient to fund the parent’s normal operations and pay its corporate expenses and income taxes.
The nature of the Company’s brokerage subsidiary’s operations is such that it is not expected to require any capital contributions in 2007. Instead, if BCA is successful in implementing its marketing plans, it will likely be a source of cash to BCP. If the Company’s life insurance subsidiary, FLAC, is successful in implementing its marketing plans and its premiums increase significantly as a result, then FLAC may require additional capital contributions in future periods from the parent company. In this event, capital contributions are not expected to exceed $1,000,000 and any such required contributions are expected to be funded internally.
As previously noted, the Company’s stock commenced trading on the AMEX on August 30, 2007. Management believes that such a listing will improve the Company’s prospects for selling additional equity securities, acquiring a business by merger or issuing debt. If another suitable life insurance or brokerage acquisition opportunity arises, the Company may require additional capital. In this event, the required capital for an acquisition is expected to be funded from the sale of common or preferred equity to public or private investors.
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company granted certain stock awards to executive officers and directors. Total compensation expense associated with those awards will aggregate $1,950,000 over their respective three year vesting periods ending on August 15, 2010. That expense is being recorded ratably during the vesting period with $81,000 of such expense recorded during the current quarter.
Capital Commitments
Substantially all of the Company’s contractual commitments are future annuity and policy benefits. The following table summarizes the Company’s estimated contractual obligations for its annuity and insurance liabilities by due date and expiration as of September 30, 2007:
         
Due within on year
  $ 1,985,000

    4,527,000  
Due in three to five years
    5,184,000

While annuity contracts have scheduled payments, the timing of the cash flows associated with life insurance policies is uncertain and can vary significantly.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
On July 14, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an Interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes guidance to address inconsistencies among entities with the measurement and recognition in accounting for income tax positions for financial statement purposes. Specifically, FIN 48 addresses the timing of the recognition of income tax benefits. FIN 48 requires the financial statement recognition of an income tax benefit when the company determines that it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be ultimately sustained. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, which, for the Company, is fiscal year 2007. The Company does not anticipate a material effect on its consolidated financial statements as a result of the issuance of FIN 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value measurements in financial reporting. While the standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstance, it has applicability to several current accounting standards that require or permit entities to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Application of this standard is required for the Company beginning in 2008. Management is currently assessing what impact, if any, the application of this standard could have on the Company’s reported results of operations and financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, which, for the Company, is fiscal year 2008. Management is currently assessing what impact, if any, the application of this standard could have on the Company’s reported results of operations and financial position.
Related Party Transactions
On March 2, 2005, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement with Brooke under which the Company repurchased 450,500 shares of Company common stock from Brooke. Brooke had previously acquired the shares from a third party for a total purchase price of $772,255. The privately negotiated transaction involved approximately 9.7 % of Company common stock then outstanding. The shares were purchased at a price of $1.71 per share for a total purchase price of $770,355. The Company paid the purchase price using $200,000 of its working capital and financed the remaining amount with a loan from Brooke Credit Corporation, an affiliate of Brooke, at a fixed rate of 8% over a ten-year period. The repurchase agreement also granted Brooke warrants to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Company common stock at prices ranging from $1.71 to $5.00 per share. These warrants were cancelled as part of the 2006 Stock Purchase Agreement (as later defined).
The mortgage note on the commercial property and office building that the Company owned was financed by Vision Bank of Topeka, Kansas. Gary Yager, a former Director of the Company, is the President and CEO of Vision Bank. As of December 31, 2006 the mortgage note was paid in full. Management believes that the terms obtained from Vision Bank at the time of financing were no less favorable to the Company than those available from an independent lender.
The Boards of Directors of the Company and FLAC and the Kansas Insurance Department (“KID”) authorized the parent company to sell its office building and related real estate to FLAC. The proceeds were used in part to repay the notes to Vision Bank and Brooke described above. Closing of this transaction occurred May 1, 2006.
On October 5, 2006, Mr. Van Engelen, a then officer and director of the Company, was awarded a warrant to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $1.72 per share (16,666 shares at an exercise price of $5.16 per share after the 1-for-3 reverse stock split effective April 13, 2007). The warrant was awarded to Mr. Van Engelen in exchange for his services in successfully negotiating and closing the transactions contemplated by the 2006 Stock Purchase Agreement. Mr. Van Engelen entered into an employment agreement with the Company effective December 8, 2006 to serve as President and CEO of FLAC. He resigned his positions with FLAC in July 2007 and has been paid all amounts due him under the terms of his employment agreement with the Company. Mr. Van Engelen also resigned as a director of FLAC and Brooke Capital Advisors.

On October 5, 2006, Thomas Fogt, a then director of the Company, was awarded a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $1.72 per share (33,333 shares at an exercise price of $5.16 per share after the 1-for-3 reverse stock split). Mr. Fogt was awarded the warrant in exchange for his services in successfully negotiating and closing the transactions proposed by the 2006 Stock Purchase Agreement.
The Company entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement dated October 6, 2006 (the “2006 Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Brooke that provided for a series of transactions that resulted in the acquisition by Brooke of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As more fully discussed in “Description of Business — Recent Developments” and “Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters — Sales of Unregistered Securities” sections of the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, Brooke had or has a direct and/or indirect material interest in the 2006 Stock Purchase Agreement. Brooke also has a direct interest in the Merger Agreement and the Exchange Agreement. As a result of his relationship with Brooke, Robert D. Orr, a Company director and the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, has an indirect material interest in these transactions.
On August 31, 2007, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Brooke and Brooke Franchise. On the same date, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement under which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Delta Plus. Delta Plus is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brooke and the parent company of Traders Insurance Company, a non-standard auto insurance company.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Brooke Franchise will be merged with and into the Company with the surviving entity operating under the name of “Brooke Capital Corporation”. At closing Brooke will receive merger consideration of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Brooke will receive 2,250,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock should the post-merger insurance agency unit achieve certain performance benchmarks in 2007 and 2008.
Under the Exchange Agreement, Brooke will contribute to the Company all of the outstanding stock of Delta Plus for consideration equal to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Brooke will receive 250,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock should Delta Plus achieve certain performance benchmarks in 2007 and 2008.
The Independent Directors Committee of the Company has received a written opinion that the Company’s common stock to be paid in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Exchange Agreement is fair to the Company, from a financial point of view.
The Merger Agreement and the Exchange Agreement were both approved by the shareholders of the Company in their meeting on November 5, 2007. Both transactions are subject to additional closing conditions and certain regulatory approvals. Closing of the Exchange Agreement is subject to the closing of the Merger Agreement. Effectuation of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not subject to the closing of the Exchange Agreement. The Merger Agreement is also subject to receipt of a written opinion that Brooke Franchise is solvent prior to the merger and that the surviving corporation in the merger (on a consolidated basis) is solvent immediately after the merger. In addition, the closing of the Exchange Agreement is subject to receipt of a written opinion that Delta Plus is solvent prior to the merger and that the Company (on a consolidated basis including Brooke Franchise and Delta Plus) is solvent immediately after the merger.
Upon consummation of, the Merger Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, Brooke will own (based on ownership levels at September 30, 2007) a minimum of approximately 81% and a maximum of approximately 85% of the Company’s common stock. Brooke has agreed that it will not transfer the Company’s common stock it receives in these transactions for 180 days after the closing date, unless the Company otherwise agrees.
Effective with the consummation of the merger, Kyle L. Garst will become President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company and Dane S. Devlin will become Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and a Director of the Company. Robert Orr will continue as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement and the Exchange Agreement, the Company contracted to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Brooke Savings Bank from Brooke Brokerage Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Brooke, in exchange for 2,015,968 shares of Company common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes to the Company’s capitalization, Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement (the “Bank Purchase Agreement”), the closing of the transaction is subject to approval by the United States Office of Thrift Supervision, other regulatory approvals, and other standard closing conditions, The Company’s application to acquire the bank was approved by the Office of Thrift Supervision, All other regulatory approvals have been received.
Recently, Brooke and BBC requested that the Company and BBC terminate the Bank Purchase Agreement by mutual agreement. After consideration of the request and the Company’s current strategic direction into insurance agency franchising and sale of propriety non-standard auto insurance (as evidenced by the Merger Agreement and the Exchange Agreement), the Company’s Board of Directors determined that termination of the Bank Purchase Agreement would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, provided termination is subject to the prior closing of the Merger Agreement. Termination would also be subject to the Company being reimbursed for all or a portion of the costs and expenses incurred by it in pursuing the transaction at such levels as the Company’s Independent Directors Committee determines to be fair and adequate to the Company, The Board’s decision followed a determination by the Independent Director’s Committee that such a termination, subject to these same conditions, would be in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders other than Brooke Corporation, Accordingly, based on these determinations, the Company will terminate its agreement to acquire the bank from BBC, when and if these events occur.

BCA entered into a services agreement with Brooke on March 21, 2007 that, in addition to other benefits to BCA, provided for the transfer of certain additional loan brokerage activities that were not a part of the original transfer of loan brokerage activities provided for in the 2006 Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and Brooke. This services agreement provides for monthly fees totaling $145,000, beginning in April 2007 and continuing until December 2007. In addition, the parent is a party to a services agreement with Brooke for which it pays monthly fees of $5,000 per month during the same nine month period ending December 31, 2007.
Included in the Company’s other assets are certain net receivables from affiliates of about $3,876,000 and $1,196,000 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. These amounts represent fees earned by BCA in connection with its ongoing collateral preservation and loan brokerage activities as well as other amounts loaned to affiliates at September 30, 2007on a short-term basis for which the Company is paid interest based upon the amounts and time outstanding. Other liabilities and salaries payable at September 30, 2007 included amounts due to affiliates of about $247,000 of which $150,000 represented the amount due for one month’s shared services fees. As indicated above, the Company’s cash balances are sometimes commingled with the balances of Brooke and its other subsidiaries for cash management purposes.
The Company has employed Robert D. Orr, as CEO of the Company and William R. Morton Jr., as CFO of the Company. These individuals are also employed by Brooke or its other subsidiaries. The Company reimburses Brooke and certain of its affiliates for the payroll related costs of these and other employees.
Impact of Inflation and General Economic Conditions
The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are subject to inflation and general market conditions. The Company is primarily invested in fixed maturity securities. A majority of these assets are debt securities and are considered fixed income investments. In addition, the Company has investments in mortgage loans. Both of these investments are exposed to three primary sources of investment risk: credit, interest rate and liquidity. In addition, the Company’s investments are subject, in varying degrees, to market risk that can affect their return and their fair market value.
Interest rate risk arises from the price sensitivity of investments to changes in interest rates. Coupon and/or dividend income represent the greatest portion of an investment’s total return for most fixed income instruments in stable interest rate environments. The changes in the fair market values of such investments are inversely related to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates fall, the coupon and dividend streams of existing fixed rate investments become more valuable and the market values rise. As interest rates rise, the opposite effect occurs.
The Company’s mortgage loan investments are also particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. As long-term rates fall, borrowers become more likely to refinance their mortgages causing a prepayment of outstanding mortgage principal that requires reinvestment at lower rates. As interest rates rise, policyholders may become more likely to surrender policies or to borrow against cash values, often to meet sudden needs in an inflationary environment or to invest in higher yielding opportunities elsewhere. This risk of disintermediation may force the Company to liquidate part of its portfolio at a time when the fair market values of fixed income investments are falling.
A majority of the Company’s investments are exposed to varying degrees of credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the value of the investment may decline due to the deterioration of the financial strength of the issuer and that the timely or ultimate payment of principal or interest may occur. The Company mitigates credit risk by diversifying the investment portfolio across a broad range of issuers, investment sectors and security types and by timing the amount of investments in any particular entity.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon the evaluation of those controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting management on a timely basis, of material information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports as set forth in this section.
In connection with its review of the financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company’s independent public accounting firm advised management that it had noted certain matters that it considered to be a “material weakness”. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, in the Company’s internal financial procedures or controls, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The auditors noted that due to the resignation of the Company’s then Chief Financial Officer effective March 31, 2006, the Company did not then have adequate review procedures in place to ensure the development of timely, complete and accurate financial statements and related footnotes.
Since March 31, 2006, the Company has taken significant steps to remediate this material weakness, including enhancing the knowledge and skills of the existing staff, hiring outside consultants and independent contractors to assist the staff in handling financial statement matters, and engaging as a full-time consultant an individual who had previously served as the Company’s controller and who during that tenure was primarily responsible for preparing both the Company’s statutory and GAAP financial statements. On March 1, 2007, the Board of Directors elected Mr. Morton as the new Chief Financial Officer replacing John Van Engelen, the President and Chief Executive Officer of FLAC, who served in an interim capacity as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company from January 31, 2007 to March 1, 2007.
With these remediation steps remaining in place and the addition of the functional financial support provided by Brooke pursuant to the Brooke Servicing Agreement referred to above, management believes that the material weakness has been remediated and that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the date of this report is effective at a reasonable assurance level and has been for a period of time prior hereto. In connection with its review of the financial statements filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s independent public accounting firm has advised management that it has not identified any matters that it considered to represent material weaknesses.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. We have undertaken remediation efforts, as discussed above. These staffing additions and training efforts are in response to the material weaknesses identified.
