See notes to financial statements. 5 REGAN HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of Regan Holding Corp. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2003. 2. Stock Options The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan and accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income (loss), as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based employee compensation:

7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this document, including Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, that are not historical facts, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance of Regan Holding Corp. and its businesses to be materially different from that expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and factors include, among other things, the following: general economic and business conditions; political and social conditions; government regulations, especially regulations affecting the insurance industry; demographic changes; the ability to adapt to changes resulting from acquisitions or new ventures; and various other factors referred to in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Regan Holding Corp. assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in or additions to the factors affecting such forward-looking statements. Regan Holding Corp. Consolidated We had consolidated net income of $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2003, compared to consolidated net losses of $798,000 during the first quarter of 2002. This favorable change of $2.4 million is primarily due to recognition of income at Legacy Marketing Group ("Legacy Marketing") in the first quarter of 2003 compared to losses during the same period of 2002, partially offset by increased losses at Legacy Financial Services, Inc. ("Legacy Financial"). Legacy Marketing During the first quarter of 2003, Legacy Marketing had net income of $2.1 million, compared to net losses of $286,000 during the same period in 2002. The improved results are due to increased revenues, partially offset by increased expenses. During the first quarter of 2003, Legacy Marketing commissions and marketing allowances increased $3.9 million (45%) from the first quarter of 2002, due to an increase in sales of fixed annuity insurance products. Legacy Marketing's sales increase was driven by sales of declared rate and equity index annuities, reflecting a shift in the marketplace toward more traditional fixed income-based annuities. In addition, sales on behalf of Investors Insurance Corporation, which began in the second quarter of 2002, contributed $2.6 million of commissions and marketing allowances during the first quarter of 2003. The overall increase in commissions and marketing allowances during the first quarter of 2003 was offset in part by the effect of discontinuing several annuity products issued by Transamerica Life Insurance and Annuity Company. Legacy Marketing will continue to administer these annuity products and to accept additional premium payments, subject to applicable additional deposit rules for these products. The discontinued products accounted for approximately 9% and 43% of our total consolidated revenue for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. We expect that sales of recently introduced Transamerica products will partially offset the effect of the discontinued Transamerica products. Legacy Marketing also discontinued marketing life insurance products issued by American National Insurance Company effective during the first quarter of 2003. These products accounted for a nominal amount of revenue during each of the quarters ending March 31, 2003 and 2002. In April 2003, American National reduced the crediting rates of several annuity products marketed by Legacy Marketing. As a result, we expect that sales of annuity products on behalf of American National will decrease during the remainder of 2003. It is possible that in the short term, overall consolidated revenues may also decline. Legacy Marketing will continue to market annuity products and administer American National life insurance products and annuity products, including acceptance of renewal premium. In addition, Legacy Marketing is developing new annuity products with American National that may result in increased sales in the long term. Administrative fees increased $958,000 (36%) during the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to increases in the number of policies issued and administered. As of March 31, 2003, Legacy Marketing sold and administered products on behalf of four unaffiliated insurance carriers: American National, Transamerica, Investors Insurance Corporation, and John Hancock Variable Life Insurance 8 Company. Legacy Marketing also performs administrative services for IL Annuity and Insurance Company products. As indicated below, the agreements with these carriers generated a significant portion of our total consolidated revenue (sales on behalf of Investors Insurance Corporation began in the second quarter of 2002): Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------ 2003 2002 ---- ---- American National 38% 11% Transamerica 26% 64% Investors Insurance Corporation 18% -- IL Annuity 7% 16% John Hancock 5% 3% Our consolidated revenues are derived primarily from sales and administration of the following annuity product series: Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------ 2003 2002 ---- ---- BenchMark(SM) series (sold on behalf of American National) 37% 9% SelectMark(R) series (sold on behalf of Transamerica) 26% 64% MarkOne(SM) series (sold on behalf of Investors Insurance Corporation) 18% -- VisionMark(R) series (sold on behalf of IL Annuity) 5% 16% AssureMark(SM) series (sold on behalf of John Hancock) 5% 3% We expect that sales of the BenchMark(SM) series sold on behalf of American National will decrease during the remainder of 2003, as a result of the reduced crediting rates mentioned above. Legacy Marketing's expenses increased $1.1 million (9%) primarily attributable to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1 million (10%) primarily due to increases in compensation, insurance, and sales promotion and support expenses. Compensation increased primarily due to salary increases, accruals for incentive based compensation based on our consolidated first quarter results, temporary help due to increased business volume, and benefits. Increased insurance expenses reflected rising prices for disability insurance coverage. Sales promotion and support expenses increased primarily due to increased agent appointment fees and commissions, partially offset by decreased incentive trip expenses. Legacy Financial Legacy Financial incurred net losses of $268,000 during the first quarter of 2003 compared to net losses of $223,000 during the first quarter of 2002, primarily due to increased expenses partially offset by increased revenues. Legacy Financial revenue increased $36,000 (7%) primarily due to increases in insurance premiums billed to Legacy Financial's distribution network of registered representatives. Legacy Financial's expenses increased $100,000 (11%), primarily due to increases in insurance costs. Imagent Online, LLC Imagent had net losses of $154,000 during the first quarter of 2003 compared to net losses of $170,000 during the first quarter of 2002. The reduced losses are primarily due to a 100% increase in subscription revenues from $20,000 to $40,000. Expenses were relatively flat during the first quarter of 2003 compared to the same period last year. Values Financial Network, Inc. During the first quarter of 2003, Values Financial Network, Inc. incurred net losses of $141,000, compared to net losses of $133,000 during the first quarter of 2002. Revenues were unchanged during the first quarter of 2003 compared 9 to the same period last year. Expenses increased 7% from $220,000 to $235,000 primarily due to increased direct marketing costs and technology consulting fees, partially offset by reduced compensation costs resulting from lower headcount. Other Segments During the first quarter of 2003, combined net income from our other subsidiaries was $24,000, compared to combined net income of $14,000 during the first quarter of 2002. The favorable change of $10,000 is primarily due to increased advisory fee revenues. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash provided from operating activities was $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to improved operating results. Net cash used by investing activities was $195,000 due to acquisitions of fixed assets, partially offset by net maturities of short-term investment-grade securities. Net cash used by financing activities was $377,000 primarily due to repurchases of our common stock. We intend to continue to retain any earnings for use in our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Item 4. Controls and Procedures The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and executed, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, with the participation of Company's management, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, which disclosed no significant deficiencies or material weakness, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation. 10 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
