In 1995, the Company issued 48,950 shares of Treasury Stock under a Restricted Stock Award program that relieved Treasury Stock by approximately $1,262,000 and also increased additional paid-in capital by approximately $855,000. THE MIDLAND COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS A detailed discussion of the Company's liquidity and capital resources is included in the 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as discussed below, no significant changes have taken place since that date and, accordingly, the discussion is not repeated herein. The Company's property and casualty insurance division continues to grow due primarily to increased penetration in each of its marketing channels. Both written premiums and earned premiums have increased during the first nine months and third quarter of 1995 as compared to the same periods in 1994. The increases in accounts receivable, deferred insurance policy acquisition costs, other payables and accruals, unearned premiums, loss reserves, insurance revenues, claims and policy acquisition costs and insurance operating and administrative expenses are all due to this growth. The operating performance of this division improved during the first nine months and third quarter of 1995 as compared to the same periods of 1994 due to fewer weather-related losses in 1995 than 1994 and the devastating California earthquake that struck in the first quarter of 1994. The Company's combined ratio, the ratio of losses and expenses to premiums earned, improved favorably from 101.6% for the first nine months of 1994 to 97.4% for the same period in 1995. Pre-tax realized capital gains were $2,183,000 in the first nine months of 1995 compared to $2,314,000 during the first nine months of 1994. Transportation revenues and related expenses of the Company's transportation division decreased during the first nine months and third quarter of 1995 as compared to the comparable periods in 1994 due to this division's sale in December, 1994 of approximately 67% of its river transportation equipment as well as its affreightment contracts. The operating performance of this division (revenues less operating expenses and interest) improved during the first nine months of 1995 as compared to the prior year nine month period due primarily to the severe winter weather and flooding conditions which adversely impacted the division's performance during the first quarter of 1994. As previously reported, M/G Transport Services, Inc. is the subject of a criminal prosecution and related civil litigation concerning the alleged disposal of bilge water and other refuse from vessels on the inland waterways. M/G disputes the allegations which give rise to the indictments and intends to vigorously defend itself; the outcome cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Sportswear revenues and related expenses as well as the overall operating performance of the Company's sportswear division decreased in the first nine months and third quarter of 1995 relative to the comparable periods in 1994. These declines were reflective of a general downturn within the entire sportswear apparel industry which is affecting numerous companies within the industry. Reacting to this condition, Crable's revamped Management Team established a policy in the third quarter to sell off as much excess inventory as it possibly could through every expedient channel and increased its reserve for inventory obsolescence. In light of this overall situation, Management does not expect CS Crable's operating margins to improve at least through the remainder of this year. The increases in deferred federal income tax and net unrealized gain on marketable securities are primarily attributable to the increases in the market values of the Company's investments. The increase in marketable securities is a result of the increase in the market value of the Company's investments previously held as well as additional investments purchased with funds generated from the growth in the Company's insurance operations. The increases in fixed assets and short-term bank borrowings are due to the costs associated with the construction of the Company's new corporate headquarters facility. The total cost of this facility, which was occupied in October of this year, is currently estimated at approximately $29,000,000 and is expected to be financed through conventional long-term debt. The increase in unvested restricted stock awards was due to an additional stock award in the first quarter of 1995 awarded under the Company's restricted stock award program. The federal income tax provision for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 is different from amounts derived by applying the statutory tax rates to income before federal income tax as follows: Nine-Mos. Ended Sept. 30, Three-Mos.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet of The Midland Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 16, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived. Deloitte & Touche LLP Cincinnati, Ohio October 19, 1995 EXHIBIT II LETTER RE: UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Midland Company: We have made a review, in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, of the unaudited interim financial information of The Midland Company and subsidiaries for the periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, as indicated in our report dated October 19, 1995; because we did not perform an audit, we expressed no opinion on that information. We are aware that our report referred to above, which is included in your Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1995, is incorporated by reference in Registration Statement No. 33-48511 on Form S-8. We are also aware that the aforementioned report, pursuant to Rule 436(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, is not considered a part of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by an accountant or a report prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of that Act.
