8 (5) Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock options under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. The stock options were awarded at an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Accordingly, there has been no employee compensation cost recognized in earnings for the stock options. FAS 123 provides an alternative to APB 25 whereby fair values may be ascribed to options using a valuation model and amortized to compensation cost over the vesting period of the options. The following tables illustrate the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share for each period indicated as if the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to its stock option program. The pro forma fair value of stock-based compensation in the Company's Class A Shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended -------------------------- -------------------------- 2004 2003 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net earnings as reported $ 684,711 504,590 1,204,035 882,177 Add: Stock-based employee compensation reported in net earnings, net of related tax effects -- -- -- -- Deduct: Stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method, net of related tax effects (37,083) (32,067) (155,930) (64,134) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net earnings, pro forma $ 647,628 472,523 1,048,105 818,043 ========== ========== ========== ========== Earnings per share Basic and diluted - as reported $.30/$.29 $.22/$.22 $.52/$.51 $.38/$.38 Basic and diluted - pro forma $.28/$.27 $.21/$.20 $.46/$.44 $.35/$.35
The significant assumptions used during the year in estimating the fair value on the date of the grant for options and granted in 2004 were as follows: 2004 ---- Expected life of stock options, in years 9 Expected volatility of ACMAT stock 44% Risk-free interest rate 1.0 Expected annual dividend yield -- Expected annual forfeiture rate -- No options were granted in 2003. (6) Investments The Company's portfolio is comprised primarily of fixed maturity securities rated AA or better by Standard and Poor's and includes mostly U.S. Treasuries and tax-free municipal securities. The Company also makes investments in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). 9 Effective December 31, 2003, the Company adopted FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments (EITF 03-01). EITF 03-01 requires that certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures be made for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an impairment has not been recognized. An investment in debt or equity security is impaired if its fair value falls below its book value and the decline is considered to be other-than temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary include the length of time and the extent to which fair value has been below cost, the financial condition and the near-term prospects of the issuer; and the Company's ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery. Additionally, for certain securitized financial assets with contractual cash flows (including asset backed securities), EITF 99-20 requires the Company to periodically update its best estimate of cash flows over the life of the security. If management determines that the fair value of its securitized financial asset is less than its carrying amount and there has been a decrease in the present value of the estimated cash flows since the last revised estimate, considering both timing and amount, then an other-than-temporary impairment charge is recognized. A debt security is impaired if it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due under the security's contractual terms. Equity investments are impaired when it becomes apparent that the Company will not recover its cost over the expected holding period and consideration is given to the financial condition of the issue. Further, for securities expected to be sold, an other-than-temporary impairment charge is recognized if the Company does not expect the fair value of a security to recover the cost prior to the expected date of sale. The Company's process for reviewing invested assets for impairments during any quarter includes the following: o Identification and evaluation of investments which have possible indications of impairment; o Analysis of investments with gross unrealized investment losses that have fair value less than 80% of amortized cost during successive quarterly periods over a rolling one-year period; o Management review of for other-than-temporary impairments based on the investee's current financial condition, liquidity, near term recovery prospects and other factors, as well as consideration of other investments that were not recommended for other-than-temporary impairments; o Consideration of evidential matter, including an evaluation of factors or triggers that would or could cause individual investments to qualify as having other-than-temporary impairment and those that would not support other-than-temporary impairments; o Determination of the status of each analyzed investment as other-than-temporary or not. The gross unrealized investment losses and related fair value for fixed maturities and equity securities at June 30, 2004 were as follows:
Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- Gross Gross Gross Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Value Loss Fair Value Loss Fair Value Loss ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Fixed maturities: United States government and government agencies $ 4,517,859 62,947 7,128,559 129,065 11,646,418 192,012 Mortgage-backed securities 7,353,332 214,606 7,406,750 190,651 14,760,082 405,257 Industrial and miscellaneous 1,776,422 33,578 3,851,500 148,500 5,617,922 182,078 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total fixed maturities 13,637,613 311,131 18,386,809 468,216 32,024,422 779,347 Equity securities - common stocks: 175,700 9,300 -- -- 175,700 9,300 Equity securities - redeemable preferred: 4,155,120 444,880 2,877,080 222,920 7,032,200 667,800 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total equity 4,330,820 454,180 2,877,080 222,920 7,207,900 677,100 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total temporarily impaired securities $17,968,433 765,311 21,263,889 691,136 39,232,322 1,456,477 =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== ===========
For debt securities which are in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2004 these are losses generated by the increase in interest rates from the time these securities were acquired. Our primary investment practice is to buy and hold securities for the long term. Due to swings in the interest rate cycle, from time to time we recognize there will be temporary unrealized gains and losses in these fixed rate securities. Due to the positive cash flow nature of our business, we have the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity and redemption at full par value. The Company has determined that all unrealized losses at June 30, 2004 are temporary impairments. 10 (7) Accounting Changes CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES In December 2003, the FASB issued Revised Interpretation No. 46R, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46R). FIN 46R clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46R separates entities into two groups: (1) those for which voting interests are used to determine consolidation and (2) those for which variable interests are used to determine consolidation. FIN 46R clarifies how to identify a variable interest entity and how to determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests and results of activities of a variable interest entity in its consolidated financial statements. FIN 46R was effective for public companies that have VIEs or potential VIEs that are special-purpose entities for periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public companies for all other types of entities is required for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The Company holds mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities which are considered variable interest entities. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have any impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition as no consolidation was required. HEDGING INSTRUMENTS In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No.149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 149), which amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under FAS 133. FAS 149 amends FAS 133 for decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendment to FAS 133. FAS 149 also clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment and purchases and sales of when-issued securities that do not yet exist meet the characteristics of a derivative. In addition, it clarifies when a derivative contains a Financing Component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. FAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.

CONSOLIDATED OVERVIEW FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004: Three months ended June 30, --------------------------- 2004 2003 -------- -------- Net Earnings $684,711 504,590 Basic Earnings Per Share $ .30 $ .22 Diluted Earnings Per Share $ .29 $ .22 The Company's discussions related to all items, other than net earnings, are presented on a pretax basis, unless otherwise noted. Net earnings were $684,711 or $.30 per share basic and $.29 per share diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $504,590 or $.22 per share basic and $.22 per share diluted for the same period in 2003. The increase in net earnings for 2004 compared to 2003 is primarily due to an increase in earned premiums, contract revenue and investment income. Net earnings for 2004 reflected the continuing favorable environment for the insurance operations in 2003 and 2004. Consolidated revenues were as follows: Three months ended June 30, --------------------------- 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- Contract revenues $2,933,947 286,820 Earned premium 3,527,510 3,118,193 Investment income 766,602 620,919 Net realized capital gains 20,651 22,649 Other income 197,235 303,597 ---------- ---------- Consolidated revenues $7,445,945 4,352,178 ========== ========== 14 Total consolidated revenues increased $3,093,767 or 71% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Contract revenues increased $2,647,127 or 923% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due primarily to the timing of four large projects that were awarded in late 2003. Contract revenue depends greatly on the successful securement of contracts bid and execution. The backlog at June 30, 2004 was $6,500,000 compared to $9,680,000 at December 31, 2003. Earned premiums increased $409,317 or 13% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due to a 24% increase in net written premiums in ACSTAR Bonding, primarily due to new business and strong customer retention, offset by a 31% decrease in 2004 net written premiums in United Coastal liability insurance. Net written premiums for United Coastal liability insurance business for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 decreased by 31% due to the non-renewal by several insureds with large premium policies in 2004. Investment income increased $145,683 or 23% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due primarily to higher average invested assets resulting from strong cash flows from operations. Net realized capital gains were $20,651 for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $22,649 for the same period in 2003. The unrealized losses on the debt securities as of June 30, 2004 are temporary. These losses are generated by the increase in interest rates from the time these securities were acquired, therefore there are no other than temporary impairments for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Other income decreased $106,362 or 35% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Other revenues consist primarily of rental income and 2003 also included a one-time claim administration fee charged to bonding customers. Consolidated expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2004 were as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, --------------------------- 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- Cost of contract revenues $2,895,480 305,244 Losses and loss adjustment expenses 1,407,142 1,077,195 Amortization of policy acquisition costs 616,860 597,346 General and administrative expenses 1,239,823 1,322,413 Interest expense 224,350 267,049 ---------- ---------- $6,383,655 3,569,247 ========== ========== Consolidated expenses increased $2,814,408 or 79% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Cost of contract revenues increased $2,590,236 or 849% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The 923% increase in contract revenues in 2004 is due to the timing of four large projects that were started later in 2003. The gross profit margin on construction projects was 1.3% in 2004 compared to a gross loss of 6.0% in 2003. Gross margins fluctuate each year based upon the profitability of specific projects. Losses and loss adjustment expenses increased $329,947 or 31% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the 13% increase in earned premiums and an increase in current year loss trends for liability insurance. Amortization of policy acquisition costs increased $19,514 or 3% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the increase in earned premiums offset in part by a decrease in the average commission rate. General and administrative expenses decreased $82,590 or 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to a decrease in salary expense and depreciation expense. Interest expense decreased $42,699 or 16% for the three months ended June 20, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the decrease in long-term debt. The Company's effective tax rate was 35.5% and 35.6% for the three months ended June 30 2004 and 2003, respectively. 15 Results of Operations by Segment For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004: The Company has three reportable operating segments: ACSTAR Bonding, United Coastal Liability Insurance and ACMAT Contracting.

The adjustments and eliminations required to arrive at consolidated amounts shown above consist principally of the elimination of the intersegment revenues related to the performance of certain services and rental charges. Operating earnings for ACMAT contracting are operating revenues less cost of contract revenues and identifiable general and administrative expenses. Operating earnings for the bonding and liability insurance segments are revenues less losses and loss adjustment expenses, amortization of policy acquisition costs and identifiable general and administrative expenses.

Earned premiums increased $1,549,098 or 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due to a 24% increase in net written premiums in ACSTAR Bonding primarily due to a growth in new business and strong customer retention offset by a 26% decrease in 2004 net written premiums in United Coastal liability insurance. Net written premiums for United Coastal liability insurance business for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 decreased by 26% due to the non-renewal by several insureds with large premium policies in 2004. Investment income increased $263,079 or 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due primarily to higher average invested assets resulting from strong cash flows from operations. Net realized capital gains were $20,651 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $248,771 for the same period in 2003. During 2003, the Company sold most of its tax-exempt investments in order to accelerate the use of an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward generated with the recognition of net life insurance proceeds in 2002 that were exempt for income tax purposes. Other income decreased $100,692 or 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Other revenues consist primarily of rental income and funds administration fees charged to bonding customers. 19 Consolidated expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were as follows: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, ------------------------- 2004 2003 ----------- ----------- Cost of contract revenues $ 5,205,496 943,629 Losses and loss adjustment expenses 2,789,432 1,863,319 Amortization of policy acquisition costs 1,266,116 1,024,696 General and Administrative expenses 2,490,247 2,617,290 Interest expense 458,708 554,429 ----------- ----------- $12,209,999 7,003,363 =========== =========== Consolidated expenses increased $5,206,636 or 74% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Cost of contract revenues increased $4,261,867 or 452% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the 420% increase in contract revenues in 2004 due to the timing of four large projects that were awarded later in 2003. The gross profit margin on construction projects was 1.0% in 2004 compared to a gross loss of 7.2% in 2003. Gross margins fluctuate each year based upon the profitability of specific projects. Losses and loss adjustment expenses increased $926,113 or 50% for the six month ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the 29% increase in earned premiums and an increase in current year loss trends for liability insurance. Amortization of policy acquisition costs increased $241,420 or 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the increase in earned premiums offset in part by a decrease in the average commission rate. General and administrative expenses decreased $127,043 or 5% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to a decrease in salary expense and depreciation expense. Interest expense decreased $95,721 or 17% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to the decrease in long-term debt. The Company's effective tax rate was 35.9% and 34.8% for the six months ended June 30 2004 and 2003, respectively. The 2004 increase in the effective tax rate principally reflects the elimination of tax-exempt securities during the first quarter of 2003. Results of Operations by Segment For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004: Six Months Ended June 30, ---------------------------- ACSTAR BONDING: 2004 2003 ------------ ------------ Operating Earnings $ 1,381,511 $ 1,073,820 ------------ ------------ GAAP Combined Ratio 79.0% 86.0% ------------ ------------ Operating earnings for the ACSTAR Bonding segment increased $307,691 or 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The operating earnings in 2004 benefited from an increase in earned premiums, investment income and a 7.0 point improvement in the GAAP combined ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The improvement in the 2004 combined ratio results primarily from the increase in earned premiums. Operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 also included realized capital gains of $20,651 compared to $202,794 for the same period in 2003. ACSTAR Bonding revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were as follows: Six Months ended June 30, -------------------------- 2004 2003 ----------- ----------- Earned premium $ 3,370,604 2,878,796 Investment income 724,494 572,326 Net realized capital gains 20,651 202,794 Other income (expense) (73,126) (105,239) ----------- ----------- $ 4,042,623 3,548,677 =========== =========== 20 Revenues increased $493,946 or 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Earned premiums increased $491,808 or 17% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 due to a 24% increase in net written premiums primarily due to a growth in new business and strong customer retention. ACSTAR continues to experience an increase in volume from an increase in business opportunities that meet ACSTAR's underwriting requirements. Investment income increased $152,168 or 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 as a result of higher average invested assets resulting from strong cash flows from operations. The average invested assets increased 37% to $74.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. The increase in investment income was offset by a decrease in investment yields to 1.95% in 2004 from 2.11% in 2003. Net realized capital gains were $20,651 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $202,794 for the same period in 2003. During 2003, the Company sold most of its tax-exempt investments in order to accelerate the use of an alternative minimum tax credit carryforward generated with the recognition of net life insurance proceeds in 2002 that were exempt for income tax purposes. The unrealized losses on the debt securities as of June 30, 2004 are temporary. Those losses are generated by the increase in interest rates from the time these securities were acquired, therefore there are no other than temporary impairments for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Other income (expense) relates primarily to fees related to funds administration services. Funds administration fees charged to bonding customers for administering payments to subcontractors and vendors fluctuates, depending on the terms and conditions offered and accepted for the bonding programs each year.

Investment income increased $73,829 or 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 as a result of an increase in investment yield offset in part by lower average invested assets resulting from dividends to the parent company in November 2003. Investment yields increased to 3.91% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 3.29% for the same period a year ago.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 ------------------------ ACMAT CONTRACTING: 2004 2003 --------- --------- Operating Earnings (Loss) $ (87,483) $ (57,684) --------- --------- Operating losses for the ACMAT Contracting segment increased $29,799 or 52% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. ACMAT Contracting revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were as follows: Six Months ended June 30 ------------------------ 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- Contract revenues $5,258,474 1,011,113 Investment income, net 6,956 7,232 Inter-segment revenue: Rental income 426,949 410,742 Underwriting services, agency commissions and funds administration services 1,134,101 1,133,997 Other income 218,084 346,877 ---------- ---------- $7,061,214 2,909,961 ========== ========== Contract revenues increased $4,247,361 or 420% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period a year ago due primarily to the timing of four large projects that were awarded in late 2003. Contract revenue depends greatly on the successful securement of contracts bid and execution. The backlog at June 30, 2004 was $6,500,000 compared to $9,680,000 at December 31, 2003.

Other income consists primarily of rental income and varies depending on the timing of tenants and their leases. Other income decreased $128,359 or 23% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period a year ago due to the absence of a one-time claim administration fee charged to ACSTAR bonding customers. 22 ACMAT Contracting expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were as follows: 2004 2003 ---------- ---------- Cost of contract revenues $5,205,496 943,629 General and administrative expenses 1,943,201 2,024,016 ---------- ---------- $7,148,697 2,967,645 ========== ========== Expenses increased $4,181,052 or 141% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period a year ago. Cost of contract revenues increased $4,261,867 or 452% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to the 420% increase in contract revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period a year ago due to the timing of four large projects that were started in late 2003. The gross profit margin on construction projects was 0.2% in 2004 compared to 0.7% in 2003. The gross profit of the four current projects was offset by costs associated with closing out older projects. Gross margins fluctuate each year based upon the profitability of specific projects. General and administrative expenses decreased $80,815 or 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to a decrease in salary expense and depreciation expense. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The Company considers its most significant accounting estimates to be those applied to reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses and revenue recognition on construction projects using the percentage of completion method. Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses were $22,392,221 at June 30, 2004. The Company maintains reserves to cover estimated ultimate unpaid liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses with respect to both reported and incurred but not reported claims for insured risks incurred as of the end of each accounting period. The amount of loss reserves for reported claims is primarily based upon a case-by-case evaluation of the type of risk involved, knowledge of the circumstances surrounding each claim and the policy provisions relating to the type of claim. As part of the reserving process, historical data is reviewed and consideration is given to the anticipated impact of various factors such as legal developments and economic conditions, including the effects of inflation. Reserves are monitored and evaluated periodically using current information on reported claims. This is a critical accounting policy for the insurance operations. Management believes that the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses at June 30, 2004 are adequate to cover the unpaid portion of the ultimate net cost of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including losses incurred but not reported. Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimates at any given point in time of what the Company may have to pay ultimately on incurred losses, including related settlement costs based on facts and circumstances then known. The Company also reviews its claims reporting patterns, past loss experience, risk factors and current trends and considers their effect in the determination of estimates of incurred but not reported reserves. Ultimate losses and loss adjustment expenses are affected by many factors which are difficult to predict, such as claim severity and frequency, inflation levels and unexpected and unfavorable judicial rulings. Reserves for surety claims also consider the amount of collateral held as well as the financial strength of the principal and its indemnitors. Revenue on construction contracts is recorded using the percentage of completion method. Under this method revenues with respect to individual contracts are recognized in the proportion that costs incurred to date relate to total estimated costs. Revenues and cost estimates are subject to revision during the terms of the contracts, and any required adjustments are made in the periods in which the revisions become known. Provisions are made, where applicable, for the entire amount of anticipated future losses on contracts in progress. Construction claims are recorded as revenue at the time of settlement and profit incentives and change orders are included in revenues when their realization is reasonably assured. General and administrative expenses are not allocated to contracts. This is a critical accounting policy for the ACMAT construction segment. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: The Company internally generates sufficient funds for its operations and maintains a relatively high degree of liquidity in its investment portfolio. The primary sources of funds to meet the demands of claim settlements and operating expenses are premium collections, investment earnings and maturing investments. The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures and, in the opinion of management, has adequate sources of liquidity to fund its operations over the next year. 23 ACMAT, exclusive of its subsidiaries, has incurred negative cash flows from operating activities primarily because of interest expense related to long-term debt incurred by ACMAT to acquire and capitalize its insurance subsidiaries and to repurchase Company stock. ACMAT's principal sources of funds are dividends from its wholly-owned subsidiaries, insurance underwriting fees from its subsidiaries, construction contracting operations and rental income. Management believes that these sources of funds are adequate to service its indebtedness. ACMAT has relied on dividends from its insurance subsidiaries to repay debt. The Company had net cash flow inflows from operations of $18,426,789 and $10,338,203 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The cash flow from operations is due primarily to the increase in cash collateral. The Company's cash flow was used to repay long-term debt and repurchase stock and purchase investments. Net cash used for investing activities in the first six-months of 2004 amounted to $18,842,730 compared to $17,863,243 for the same period in 2003. Purchases of investments are made based upon excess cash available after the payment of losses and loss adjustment expenses and other expenses. The Company's short term investment strategy coincides with the relatively short maturity of its liabilities which are comprised primarily of reserves for losses covered by claims-made insurance policies, reserves related to surety bonds and collateral held for surety obligations. The terms of the Company's note agreements contain limitations on payment of cash dividends, re-acquisition of shares, borrowings and investments and require maintenance of specified ratios and minimum net worth levels, including cross default provisions. The payment of future cash dividends and re-acquisition of shares are restricted. The Company was in compliance with the covenants at June 30, 2004. The Company maintains a short-term unsecured bank credit line totaling $10 million to fund interim cash requirements. There were no borrowings under this line of credit as of June 30, 2004. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company purchased, in the open market and privately negotiated transactions, 4,026 shares of its Common Stock at an average price of $11.58 per share. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, the Company also purchased, in the open market and privately negotiated transactions, 53,727 shares of its Class A Stock at an average price of $13.13 per share. The Company's principal source of cash for repayment of long-term debt is from dividends from its two insurance companies. Under applicable insurance regulations, ACMAT's insurance subsidiaries are restricted as to the amount of dividends they may pay to their respective holding companies, without the prior approval of their domestic State insurance department. The amount of dividends ACMAT's insurance subsidiaries may pay, without prior approval of their domestic State insurance departments, are limited to approximately $3,920,000 in 2004. REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT Risk-based capital requirements are used as early warning tools by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the states to identify companies that require further regulatory action. The ratio for each of the Company's insurance subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 was above the level which might require regulatory action. CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS: Contractual obligations at June 30, 2004 include the following:
Payment due by Period Total 2004 2005/2006 2007/2008 After 2008 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Long-Term Debt (principal) $17,634,733 $ 1,235,836 $ 5,091,305 $ 5,359,166 $ 5,948,426
The Company also has cash collateral of $52,257,201 at June 30, 2004, which it would be required to return at the end of expiration of applicable bond period subject to any claims.
