See notes to consolidated financial statements. 6 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HILB, ROGAL AND HAMILTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES June 30, 2001 (UNAUDITED) NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. NOTE B--CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING METHOD As of January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (Statement 133). It requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value must be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met. The Company's use of derivative instruments is limited to interest rate swap agreements used to modify the interest characteristics for a portion of its outstanding debt. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are structured so that there would be no ineffectiveness. In connection with the adoption of Statement 133, the interest rate swaps were marked to market resulting in a $517,000 adjustment, net of tax, to record the cumulative effect of the accounting change. The adjustment reduced accumulated other comprehensive earnings. The adoption of Statement 133 did not have an effect on net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2001. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," effective January 1, 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for cancellation of customer insurance policies. Previously, the Company did not record a reserve for such cancellations. Under the new method of accounting adopted retroactive to January 1, 2000, the Company now records a reserve for such cancellations. The cumulative effect of the change on prior years resulted in a charge to income of $325,000 (net of income taxes of $225,000), for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Company periodically reviews the adequacy of the allowance and adjusts it as necessary. Based on the analysis, the allowance as of December 31, 2000 and June 30, 2001 was $580,000 and $670,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the net increase in the cancellation reserve was comprised of 7 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HILB, ROGAL AND HAMILTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES June 30, 2001 (UNAUDITED) NOTE B--CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING METHOD-Continued $60,000 in new reserves related to acquisitions and $30,000 from higher revenue levels. The amounts related to acquisitions will be amortized as part of the purchase price. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations", and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (the Statements), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002 including the required impairment tests of goodwill. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these Statements on its earnings and financial position. NOTE C--INTEREST RATE SWAPS The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to modify the interest characteristics of its outstanding debt. Each interest rate swap agreement is designated with all or a portion of the principal balance and term of a specific debt obligation. These agreements involve the exchange of amounts based on variable interest rates for amounts based on fixed interest rates over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the notional amount upon which the payments are based. The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements effective June 17, 1999 to manage interest rate exposure on its long-term debt. The swap agreements are contracts to exchange floating rate for fixed rate interest payments periodically over the lives of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying combined notional amount of $45,000,000, which amortizes quarterly by $937,500 beginning September 30, 2000 through their maturity on June 30, 2004. The notional amounts of interest rate agreements are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The credit risk to the Company would be the counterparties' inability to pay the differential in the fixed rate and variable rate in a rising interest rate environment. The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. 8 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HILB, ROGAL AND HAMILTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES June 30, 2001 (UNAUDITED) NOTE C--INTEREST RATE SWAPS-Continued The differential paid or received on the interest rate per the agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense (the accrual accounting method). The related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties' is included in other liabilities or assets. Under the Company's interest rate swap agreements, the Company contracted with the counterparties to exchange the difference between the Company's fixed pay rates of 6.43% and 6.46% and the counterparties' variable LIBOR pay rate. The contracts expire June 30, 2004. The fair market value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2001 resulted in a liability of $1,432,000 which is included in other long-term liabilities. NOTE D--INCOME TAXES The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred taxes result from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company's effective rate varies from the statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and non-deductible amortization. NOTE E--ACQUISITIONS During the first six months of 2001, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of five insurance agencies for approximately $33,800,000 ($23,200,000 in cash, $3,600,000 in guaranteed future payments and approximately 189,000 shares of Common Stock) in purchase accounting transactions. The purchase price may be increased based on agency profitability per the contracts. These acquisitions are not material to the consolidated financial statements individually or in aggregate. NOTE F--SALE OF ASSETS AND OTHER GAINS During the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company sold certain insurance accounts and other assets resulting in gains of approximately $2,623,000 and $885,000, respectively, including $2,584,000 and $302,000 during the second quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Revenues, expenses and assets related to these dispositions were not material to the consolidated financial statements. 9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HILB, ROGAL AND HAMILTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES June 30, 2001 (UNAUDITED) NOTE G--NET INCOME PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share.

10 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HILB, ROGAL AND HAMILTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES June 30, 2001 (UNAUDITED) NOTE H--LONG-TERM DEBT On April 6, 2001, the Company signed the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with seven banks that allows for borrowings of up to $160 million consisting of a $100 million revolving credit facility and a $60 million term loan facility, both of which bear interest at variable rates. The term portion of the facility is payable quarterly beginning June 30, 2001 with the final payment due June 30, 2004. NOTE I--SUBSEQUENT EVENT Subsequent to June 30, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of three insurance agencies for approximately $40,300,000 ($18,100,000 in cash, $3,300,000 in guaranteed future payments and approximately 472,000 shares of Common Stock). The purchase price may be increased based on agency profitability per the contracts. The acquired operations, in aggregate, are not material to the consolidated financial statements. These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchase transactions. 11 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations: --------------------- Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $7.8 million, or $0.53 per share, compared with $4.9 million, or $0.35 per share. Excluding net non-recurring gains in both periods, net income was $6.3 million, a 31.5% increase from $4.8 million last year. Net income per share on the same basis was $0.43, compared with $0.34, an increase of 26.5%. Commissions and fees were $74.3 million, an increase of 21.6% from commissions and fees of $61.1 million during the comparable period of the prior year. Approximately $12.6 million of commissions were derived from purchase acquisitions of new insurance agencies. This increase was offset by decreases of approximately $1.4 million from the sale of certain offices and accounts in 2001 and 2000. Excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions, commissions and fees increased 3.2%. This reflects new business production and modest premium increases, partly offset by the industry-wide trend of lower non-standard commissions (contingents, bonuses and overrides) and continued culling of low-margin business. Investment income increased $0.1 million, or 25.8% due to higher levels of invested assets related to purchase acquisitions and improved collections compared to the same period of the prior year. Other income increased $2.3 million, or 401.7%. Amounts in other income include gains from the sale of an agency and certain insurance accounts and other assets of $2.6 million in 2001, compared with gains of $0.3 million in 2000. Expenses for the quarter increased $10.6 million or 19.8%. Compensation and benefits and other operating expenses increased $7.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, primarily due to purchase acquisitions of insurance agencies and increased revenue production. Amortization of intangibles increased approximately $0.5 million due primarily to the aforementioned purchase acquisitions offset by sales of accounts in 2001 and 2000. Interest expense increased by $0.3 million due to increased bank borrowings related to 2001 acquisitions partially offset by decreased interest rates. The Company's overall tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was 43.0% which was comparable to 43.0% for the same period of the prior year. Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net income was $15.6 million, or $1.06 per share, compared to $11.4 million, or $0.81 per share last year. Excluding the effect of gains and the 2000 cumulative effect of an accounting change, net income was $14.0 million, or $0.96 per share, up from $11.2 million or $0.79 per share a year ago. The cumulative effect of the 12 accounting change was a non-cash charge to first quarter 2000 income to record a reserve for the cancellation of policies in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 101. Commissions and fees were $151.3 million, an increase of 19.4% from commissions and fees of $126.7 million during the comparable period of the prior year. Approximately $22.7 million of commissions were derived from purchase acquisitions of new insurance agencies. This increase was offset by decreases of approximately $3.0 million from the sale of certain offices and accounts in 2001 and 2000. Commissions and fees, excluding the effect of acquisitions and dispositions, increased 3.9% which was tempered by the aforementioned declines in non-standard commissions and the Company's focus on writing and renewing profitable accounts. Investment income increased $0.2 million, or 22.6%, primarily due to increased invested assets related to purchase acquisitions. Other income increased $1.7 million or 116.0% from the prior year primarily due to the net impact of nonrecurring gains from the sale of an agency, certain insurance accounts and other assets. Expenses increased by $19.6 million or 18.1%. Increases include $13.6 million in compensation and benefits and $4.6 million in other operating expenses, due primarily to purchase acquisitions of new insurance agencies and increased revenue production. Amortization of intangibles increased approximately $0.8 million due primarily to purchase acquisitions. Interest expense increased by $0.6 million due to increased bank borrowings related to 2001 acquisitions, partially offset by declines in interest rates. The Company's overall tax rate of 43.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was comparable to the rate of 43.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2000. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, net income as a percentage of revenues did not vary significantly from the three months ended March 31, 2001. Commission income was lower during the second quarter but was offset by increased gains from the sales of insurance accounts and other assets. The timing of contingent commissions, policy renewals, acquisitions and dispositions may cause revenues, expenses and net income to vary significantly from quarter to quarter. As a result of the factors described above, operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2001 should not be considered indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources: ------------------------------- Net cash provided by operations totaled $29.0 million and $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and is primarily dependent upon the timing of the collection of insurance premiums from clients and payment of those premiums to the appropriate insurance underwriters. 13 The Company has historically generated sufficient funds internally to finance capital expenditures for property and equipment. Cash expenditures for the acquisition of property and equipment were $2.8 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The timing and extent of the purchase and sale of investments is dependent upon cash needs and yields on alternate investments and cash equivalents. The purchase of insurance agencies accounted for under the purchase method of accounting utilized cash of $19.3 million and $6.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash expenditures for such insurance agency acquisitions have been primarily funded through operations and long-term borrowings. In addition, a portion of the purchase price in such acquisitions may be paid through Common Stock, and deferred cash payments. Cash proceeds from the sale of accounts and other assets amounted to $4.3 million and $3.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company did not have any material capital expenditure commitments as of June 30, 2001. Financing activities provided cash of $12.6 million and utilized cash of $11.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company has consistently made scheduled debt payments and annually increased its dividend rate. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company repurchased 116,700 shares of its Common Stock under a stock repurchase program. The Company is currently authorized to purchase an additional 379,100 shares. The Company anticipates the continuance of its dividend policy. The Company has a bank credit agreement for $156.7 million under which loans are due in various amounts through 2004 and $32.0 million face value of 5.25% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2014. At June 30, 2001, there were loans of $87.7 million outstanding under the bank agreement. The Company had a current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) of 0.94 to 1.00 as of June 30, 2001. Shareholders' equity of $107.9 million at June 30, 2001, is improved from $88.2 million at December 31, 2000. The debt to equity ratio of 1.15 to 1.00 is decreased from the ratio at December 31, 2000 of 1.17 to 1.00 due to issuance of Common Stock, partially offset by an increase in debt related to acquisitions and net income. The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with proceeds from borrowings, will provide sufficient funds to meet the Company's short and long-term funding needs. Market Risk ----------- The Company has certain investments and utilizes (on a limited basis) derivative financial instruments which are subject to market risk; however, the Company believes that exposure to market risk associated with these instruments is not material. New Accounting Standards ------------------------ In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations", and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other 14 Intangible Assets" (the Statements), effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002, including the required impairment tests of goodwill. The Company is currently assessing the impact of these Statements on its earnings and financial position.
