7 CAPITOL TRANSAMERICA CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 (1) Basis of Presentation ----------------------- The condensed financial statements included herein of Capitol Transamerica Corporation (the "Company"), other than the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2000, and the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Investment and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as of December 31, 2000, have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 2000 annual report on Form 10-K. (2) Earnings Per Share -------------------- Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents from options outstanding. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS):

(3) Comprehensive Income (Loss) ----------------------------- Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income plus or minus other comprehensive income (loss), which for the Company, under existing accounting standards, includes unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects, on certain investments in debt and equity securities. Comprehensive income (loss) is reported by the Company in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Investment and Comprehensive Income (Loss). (4) Income Taxes ------------- Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the corresponding amounts used for income tax reporting. (5) Common Stock Options ---------------------- There were 2,022 options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to 19,196 options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2000. For further information regarding stock options, refer to Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's 2000 annual report. 8 (6) Dividends --------- 2001 ---- On February 27, 2001, a cash dividend of $.08 per share was declared to shareholders of record March 9, 2001 and paid March 23, 2001 in the amount of $878,211. 2000 ---- On November 21, 2000, a cash dividend of $.07 per share was declared to shareholders of record December 8, 2000 and paid December 20, 2000 in the amount of $773,304. On September 5, 2000, a cash dividend of $.07 per share was declared to shareholders of record September 15, 2000 and paid September 26, 2000 in the amount of $773,993. On May 30, 2000, a cash dividend of $.07 per share was declared to shareholders of record June 16, 2000 and paid June 28, 2000 in the amount of $775,865. On February 18, 2000, a cash dividend of $.07 per share was declared to shareholders of record March 10, 2000 and paid March 23, 2000 in the amount of $788,776. (7) Investments ----------- The Company's fixed maturities and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and, accordingly, are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains (losses) reported as a separate component of the shareholders' investment, net of taxes. The cost of fixed maturities is adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Fixed maturities and equity securities deemed to have declines in value that are other than temporary are written down through the statement of income to carrying values equal to their estimated fair values. Investment real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation of $1,722,517, $1,595,693 and $1,274,060 at March 31, 2001, December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively. Real estate is depreciated over the useful life of the asset. The cost of investments sold is determined under the specific identification method. (8) Contingent Liabilities ----------------------- The Company is a defendant in certain lawsuits involving complaints which demand damages and recoveries for claims and losses allegedly related to risks insured by the Company. Management's opinion is that such lawsuits are a result of the ordinary course of business in the insurance industry. The reserve for losses includes management's estimates of the probable ultimate cost of settling all losses involving lawsuits. 9 (9) Industry Segment Disclosures ------------------------------ The Company has three business segments, which are segregated based on the types of products and services provided. The segments are (1) property and casualty, (2) fidelity and surety, and (3) discontinued reinsurance assumed operations. These segments constitute 100% of the operations of the Company. Data for each segment as required for interim reporting follows:

10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW -------- Capitol Transamerica Corporation (the "Company") is an insurance holding company, which operates in 37 states and writes, through its subsidiaries, both property-casualty and fidelity-surety insurance. The property-casualty segment accounts for approximately 77% of the business written while the fidelity-surety segment accounts for approximately 23% of the business. The underwriting cycles of the property-casualty insurance industry have been characterized by peak periods of adequate rates, underwriting profits and lower combined ratios, with the down side of the cycles being characterized by inadequate rates, underwriting losses and higher combined ratios. The adequacy of premium rates is affected primarily by the severity and frequency of claims, which, in turn, are affected by natural disasters, regulatory measures and court decisions, which continue to uphold the "deep pocket" theory in awarding against insurance companies. Unfortunately for the insurance industry, the trend of increasing price competition has continued as has the number of significant natural disasters. This combination has resulted in a considerable reduction in underwriting profitability for the industry as a whole. Adequate premium rates continue to be a concern for the Company and the property-casualty insurance industry as a whole. Management feels strongly that rate regulators have been slow to adjust rates in response to increased claim costs from the factors noted above. This, when combined with increased competition in the Company's niche market, has presented an unprecedented challenge to management. The Company has responded to this challenge with increased marketing efforts as well as the addition of innovative programs and alliances that should position the Company for continued expansion and profitability. OPERATING RESULTS ------------------ As mentioned in the Overview, management believes that the property-casualty industry is in a downward cycle. However, due to a combination of increased marketing efforts and the re-underwriting of the Company's book of business undertaken in 1998 and 1999, the Company's operating results remain quite favorable. Operating income decreased compared to 2000 due primarily to higher than expected losses on a few specific surety contract bonds coupled with better than normal results for the first quarter of 2000, a 75.4% trade combined ratio. Had the losses on the aforementioned bonds not occurred, the combined ratio would have been approximately 87.5%, a level typical of the Company's history. Management is confident that the return to solid underwriting standards and continued profitability of the Company's core operations will provide a foundation for increasing shareholder value. Gross premiums written increased 18% over the first quarter of 2000, going from $23.4 million to $27.6 million. The increase is due to rate increases and the Company's concerted efforts to profitably grow its business. Management continually monitors the Company's expansion efforts to ensure that the Company is growing profitably. Net premiums written followed gross premiums written, increasing from $21.9 million to $24.4 million, or 11.1%. Premiums earned are recognized as net revenues after a reduction for reinsurance ceded and after the establishment of the provision for a pro-rata unearned portion of the premiums written. Premiums earned totaled $22.8 million for the first three months of 2001, compared to $88.2 million for calendar year 2000 and $20.7 million for the first three months of 2000. The unearned premium reserve at the end of these same three periods was $47.3 million, $45.6 million and $40.8 million, respectively.

11 The Company's underwriting results can be measured by reference to the combined loss and expense ratios. The following table includes the operating results of the Company's two subsidiary insurance companies on a statutory basis. Losses and loss adjustment expenses are stated as a percentage of net premiums earned, while underwriting expenses are stated as a percentage of net premiums written. The combined ratios are as follows:
March 31, December 31, March 31, Insurance Operating Ratios (Statutory Basis) 2001 2000 2000 -------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------- ---------- Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses 53.8% 65.4% 38.1% Underwriting Expenses 36.7% 35.1% 37.3% -------------------------------------------- ---------- ------------- ---------- Combined Ratio 90.5% 100.5% 75.4% ============================================ ========== ============= ==========
The Company's combined ratio consistently compares very favorably to the industry average, as indicated by the following chart:

REINSURANCE ----------- The Company follows the customary practice of reinsuring with other companies, i.e., ceding a portion of its exposure on the policies it has written. This program of reinsurance permits the Company greater diversification of business and the ability to write larger policies while limiting the extent of its maximum net loss. It provides protection for the Company against unusually severe occurrences in which a number of claims could produce a large aggregate loss. Management continually monitors the Company's reinsurance program to obtain protection that should be adequate to ensure the availability of funds for losses while maintaining future growth. NET INVESTMENT INCOME AND REALIZED GAINS --------------------------------------------- The Company's fixed maturities and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)" in the equity portion of the balance sheet. Interest and Dividend Income: Interest on fixed maturities is recorded as income when earned and is adjusted for any amortization of purchase premium or accretion of discount. Dividends on equity securities are recorded as income on ex-dividend dates.
March 31, December 31, March 31, Investments 2001 2000 2000 -------------------------------------------------- ------------- -------------- ------------- Invested Assets $234,115,608 $ 232,367,776 $221,759,560 Net Investment Income 2,453,781 9,163,062 2,258,601 Percent of Return to Average Carrying Value 4.2% 4.0% 4.0% Realized (Losses) Gains (1,822,488) 11,805,350 1,046,508 Change in Unrealized (Losses) Gains (1,528,227) 4,239,902 154,615 -------------------------------------------------- ------------- -------------- -------------
The net unrealized loss of $1.5 million for the first three months of 2001 consists of a $0.7 million unrealized gain on fixed maturities and a $2.2 million unrealized loss on the Company's equity portfolio. Management has begun to increase its tax-free bond holdings and de-emphasize the equity portfolio, but is optimistic that the recent downturn in the value of its equity investments is temporary and that the current market conditions will provide an even greater opportunity to invest and build shareholder value over the long term. First quarter, 2001 net investment income increased from $2.3 million to $2.5 million, or 8.6%, over the same period last year. The Company holds a large percentage of equity investments, which results in a comparatively lower rate of return on invested assets than other property-casualty insurance companies. 12 Under FASB Statement 115, the Company absorbed $2.0 million in realized losses in the first quarter for "other-than- temporary" market value adjustments for certain securities held in its portfolio. Additionally, management continues to monitor its investment portfolio for other securities that could potentially fall into this category in the future. INCOME TAXES ------------- Income tax expense is based on income reported for financial statement purposes and tax laws and rates in effect for the years presented. Deferred federal income taxes arise from timing differences between the recognition of income determined for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes. Such timing differences are related principally to the deferral of policy acquisition costs, the recognition of unearned premiums and the discounting of claims reserves for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are also provided on unrealized gains and losses. Also of note is that the Company's effective income tax rate tends to be lower than most companies because of the high concentration of investment income related to tax-free municipal bonds. LOSS RESERVES -------------- Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses reflect the Company's best estimate of the liability for the ultimate cost of reported claims and incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims at the end of each period. The estimates are based on past claim experience and consider current claim trends as well as social and economic conditions. The Company's reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses were $74.1 million at March 31, 2001, compared to $75.7 million at March 31, 2000. These reserves remain relatively constant due to the Company having a high level of loss and loss adjustment expense payments during the first quarter compared to the first quarter of last year, $15.9 million compared to $9.0 million. Management continues to closely monitor the loss and loss adjustment expense reserves to assure adequate recognition of the ultimate liability for claims and claims expenses. Management recognizes that this is especially important in light of today's climate whereby the Company has had increased premium volume and larger than expected contract bond payments in the Florida and Texas markets. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ---------------------------------- Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to meet obligations as they become due. The obligations and cash outflows of the Company include claim settlements, acquisition and administrative expenses, investment purchases and dividends to shareholders. In addition to satisfying obligations and cash outflows through premium collections, there are cash inflows obtained from interest and dividend income, and maturities and sales of investments. Because cash inflows from premiums are received in advance of the cash outflows required to settle claims, the Company accumulates funds, which it invests pending liquidity requirements. Therefore, investments represent the majority (82.7%, 82.0% and 83.8% at March 31, 2001, December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively) of the Company's assets. Cash outflows can be unpredictable for two reasons: first, a large portion of liabilities representing loss reserves have uncertainty regarding settlement dates; and second, there is a potential for losses occurring either individually or in the aggregate. As a result, the Company maintains adequate short-term investment programs necessary to ensure the availability of funds. The investment programs are structured so that a forced sale liquidation of fixed maturities should not be necessary during the ordinary course of business. The Company has no material capital expenditure requirements.
