| 4 Background for the Expense Reclassification We recently completed a comprehensive cost study to analyze our internal expenses As a result, we have refined our process for tracking expenses on a functional basis and can more accurately allocate internal expenses based on the following categories: Net losses and loss adjustment expenses Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses General, selling & administrative expenses General corporate expenses By better aligning the allocation of expenses with the revenue sources and financial statement captions we believe that we have enhanced the transparency of our financial reporting in the following ways: Our combined ratio, a non-GAAP measure, can now be re-calculated from the consolidated statement of income The expense categories are aligned with revenues on a functional basis These reclassifications have no impact on consolidated net income or operating earnings The presentation of the financial statements related to our first quarter 2010 results reflect the new expense classifications In our earnings release, we reclassified first quarter 2009 expenses to facilitate a year over year comparison All future earnings releases as well as quarterly and annual filings will be presented consistently with the reclassified presentation described herein To facilitate future 2010 year over year comparisons, this document provides a comparison that converts 2009 quarterly and annual reported results to the new format This document also includes first quarter 2010 results as if we had not undertaken the expense reclassification |
| 5 Changes to the Income Statement Expense Line Items Prior to the Expense Reclassification After the Expense Reclassification Expense Line Items Description of Changes Net losses and loss adjustment expenses This category now reflects all applicable loss and loss adjustment expenses, including the portion of internal salaries and benefits and administrative expenses that had previously been reported in other expense captions. As a result, the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio can be recalculated directly from the income statement. Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses This category now reflects all applicable policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, including the portion of internal salaries and benefits and other administrative expenses that had previously been reported in other expense captions. This category also includes bad debt expense and policyholder dividends that were previously included in other administrative expenses and were not included in our expense ratio reconciliation. General selling & administrative expenses This new income statement caption reflects all expenses associated with activities related to commissions and fee for service activities. These expenses were previously reported as a portion of salaries and benefits and other administrative expenses. Expenses related to the generation of managed fee revenue and net commission revenue General corporate expense This new income statement caption reflects costs related to other overhead and holding company expenses such as certain management compensation, director/board fees, and SEC fees. Amortization Expense No change Interest expense No change General Corprate Expenses Expenses related to our underwriting activities Expense Line Items Description of Changes Consolidated net losses and loss adjustment expenses This expense cateogry included all loss and loss adjustment expenses, but did not include the portion of internal salaries and benefits and administrative expenses related to claims. Consolidated policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses This expense cateogry included all policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, but did not include the portion of internal salaries and benefits and administrative expenses related to underwriting. Other administrative expenses This category included a variety of administrative expenses including audit, legal, depreciation, corporate insurance, bad debt expense and policyholder dividends. Subsequent to the expense reclassificiation, these items have been allocated to (1) net losses and loss adjustment expenses, (2) policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, (3) general selling & administrative expenses, and (4) general corporate expense based on the character of the expense. Salaries & employee benefits This category included all salary and benefit expenses incurred from Meadowbrook, Inc. employees. Subsequent to the expense reclassification these expenses have been allocated to (1) net losses and loss adjustment expenses, (2) policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses, (3) general selling & administrative expenses, and (4) general corporate expenses based on the character of the expense. Amortization expense No change Interest expense No change |
