NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are of Jacobs Financial Group,
Inc. (the "Company" or "JFG"). These financial statements were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and
financial condition for the periods presented have been included. Such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the
three and six month periods ended November 30, 2012, are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that can be expected for the fiscal year
ending May 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the Company's audited
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Item 8. of Form 10-K
filed on September 13, 2012.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the presentation of the Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements for the three and six month periods ended
November 30, 2011 to be consistent with the presentation in the Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements for the three and six month periods ended
November 30, 2012. This reclassification had no impact on previously reported
net income, cash flow from operations or changes in stockholder's equity.
LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a
going concern. Going concern contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable
length of time. The Company experienced income (loss) from operations of
approximately $16,000 and ($22,000) for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011.
The Company's income (or loss) decreases (or increases) when accretion of
mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock and accrued dividends on
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock are taken into account to approximately
($1,220,000) and ($1,440,000) for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011.
For the three month period ended November 30, 2012, the Company had a loss from
operations of approximately $235,000, or a loss of approximately $651,000 after
interest expense and accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock
are taken into account. For the six month period ended November 30, 2012, the
Company had a loss from operations of approximately $271,000, or a loss of
approximately $1,123,000 after interest expense and accrued dividends on
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock are taken into account. Losses are
expected to continue until the Company's insurance company subsidiary, First
Surety Corporation ("FSC") develops a more substantial book of business. While
improvement is anticipated as the business plan is implemented, restrictions on
the use of FSC's assets, the Company's significant deficiency in working capital
and stockholders' equity raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
Effective April 1, 2009, FSC entered into a reinsurance agreement with Lloyd's
of London for its coal reclamation surety bonding programs. This agreement has
provided additional bonding capacity to FSC and has enabled FSC to write more
bonds and of greater size for its coal reclamation bonding clients. Management
F-7
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
expects this reinsurance arrangement to continue FSC's expansion of market share
and to result in increased cash flow for each of the Company's operating
subsidiaries
Expansion of FSC's business to other states is a key component of fully
implementing the Company's business plan. Regulatory approval and licensing is
required by each state in which FSC seeks to conduct business. In fiscal 2009,
the Company was able to increase the capital of FSC and reactivate FSC's
insurance license in Ohio and obtain authority to issue surety bonds in that
state. However, management has found that entry into other states (as a surety)
has been difficult without the benefit of more substantial capital and reserves
and based upon the financial condition of the parent company, notwithstanding
the reinsurance agreement entered into by FSC with Lloyd's of London and the
resulting increase in bonding capacity. Management believes that if FSC's
capital and surplus reserves were significantly more substantial and the
financial condition of the Company was stabilized, entry into other states would
be less challenging. Accordingly, management continues to pursue avenues that
can provide additional capital to increase the capacity of its insurance
subsidiary and to fund continuing operations as the business is being fully
developed.
Beginning in fiscal 2008 and completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2009,
the Company obtained two rounds of bridge financing totaling an aggregate of
$3,500,000. The purpose of the financing was to pay expenses of operations and
to pay fees and expenses incurred or expected to be incurred in connection with
a larger permanent financing and, in addition, to increase the capital surplus
of FSC to make possible the reactivation of FSC's surety license in the state of
Ohio. The terms of the bridge-financing arrangement provide for payment in full
upon consummation by the Company of a qualified equity offering providing net
proceeds of at least $15 million on or before September 10, 2013; and because
such a qualified equity offering was not consummated by September 10, 2008,
accrued interest-to-date was payable, and quarterly installments of principal
and interest became payable over five years commencing in December 2008. The
interest rates on such notes were fixed at 10%. Payments due December 2008 and
March 2009 were not made by the Company as scheduled, but a forbearance
agreement was subsequently entered into with the bridge lenders on June 5, 2009,
modifying payment terms to cure the default (including increasing the interest
rate on the loans to 17%), issuing additional common stock to the loan holders,
and pledging the stock of the Company's subsidiary, CMW, as security for
repayment of the loans. The modification required the Company to pay interest of
$224,515 on June 10, 2009 and increase the quarterly payments by $67,185 (to a
total of $291,700) for eight consecutive quarters beginning September 10, 2009
to satisfy the arrearage. Although the Company has failed to make the payment
that was due September 10, 2009 and the payments that were due in the ensuing
quarters, management has remained in close contact with the bridge lenders,
providing reports regarding its efforts to refinance or otherwise repay the
bridge loans. To date, none of the bridge lenders has elected to pursue legal
remedies.
Certain equity inducements in the form of common stock of the Company were
provided under the terms of the bridge loan documents. Upon issuance of the
bridge notes, an aggregate of 7% of the outstanding common stock of the Company
was issued to the bridge lenders. Upon retirement of the notes upon consummation
of a qualified equity offering, the Company will issue to the bridge lenders a
percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company which, when added to
the stock initially issued, may equal as much as 28% of the common stock of the
Company that would otherwise have been retained by the holders of the Company's
common shares immediately prior to the financing. Finally, because a qualified
financing was not completed by September 10, 2008, the Company was required to
issue to the bridge lenders under the terms of the loan documents a total of
F-8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
2.8% of the Company's outstanding common shares at such date. An additional 2.8%
of the Company's outstanding common shares are required to be issued upon each
six-month anniversary date thereof until retirement of the notes. (See Note D).
In anticipation of a proposed financing and as a condition thereof, the Company
and each of the bridge lenders entered into a Loan Modification Agreement dated
February 25, 2012 which provided for modification of the Promissory Notes,
including an extension of the term of the Promissory Notes, and Subscription
Agreements in exchange for a partial cash payment to each bridge lender. To
date, the proposed financing has not closed, and the Company has been unable to
remit the partial payment. On August 10, 2012, the Company entered into an
agreement with the bridge lenders, pursuant to which the bridge lenders formally
agreed to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies arising from the
accumulated acknowledged events of default with respect to the bridge loans
until such date. As consideration for this forbearance, the Company entered into
an Amended and Restated General Hypothecation and Pledge Agreement dated August
9, 2012 (the "August 2012 Pledge"), but effective September 23, 2011, granting
to the bridge lenders as security for the repayment of the loans a lien and
security interest in all of the Company's shares of capital stock of First
Surety Corporation. Under the August 2012 Pledge, the bridge lenders acknowledge
that the effectiveness of certain of the rights and remedies provided by such
agreement may be subject to prior approval by the Office of the Commissioner of
Insurance for the State of West Virginia. To date, none of the bridge lenders
has elected to pursue legal remedies under the Promissory Notes or the August
2012 Pledge.
Given current financial market conditions and the uncertainties as to when
stability will return to the financial markets, until permanent financing can be
secured, management will strive to reduce and then eliminate operating losses by
implementing further measures to control and reduce costs while maintaining and
growing the Company's current revenue base. Unless permanent financing can be
secured, future revenue growth can be expected to be achieved at a slower pace
than has been projected by the Company. Until such time that the Company's
operating costs can be serviced by the Company's revenue stream, management will
continue to seek to raise additional funds for operations through private
placements of stock, other long-term or permanent financing, or short-term
borrowings. However, the Company cannot be certain that it will be able to
continue to obtain adequate funding in order to reasonably predict whether it
will be able to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

Update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of
financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other
comprehensive income. This update is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and interim periods within that fiscal
year. This update did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04,"Fair Value

financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. This
update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December
15, 2011 and interim periods within that fiscal year. This update did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
In October 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-26, "Financial
Services - Insurance: Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing
Insurance Contracts". This FASB is intended to specify costs incurred in the
acquisition of new and renewal contracts that should be capitalized as deferred
acquisition costs and amortized over time using amortization methods dependent
upon the nature of the underlying insurance contract. This update is effective
for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 and interim
periods within that fiscal year. This update did not have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.
NOTE C - INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
-----------------------------------------------
The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale, and as such, they
are carried at fair value. The amortized cost of investments is adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are included in net
investment income. Changes in fair value are reported as a component of other
comprehensive income, exclusive of other-than-temporary impairment losses, if
any. For the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2012, there have
been no other-than-temporary impairments. The Company intends and believes it
has the ability to hold all investments in an unrealized loss position until the
expected recovery in value, which may be at maturity.
The Company uses derivatives in the form of covered call options sold to
generate additional income and provide limited downside protection in the event
of a market correction. These transactions expose the Company to potential
market risk for which the Company receives a premium up front. The market risk
relates to the requirement to deliver the underlying security to the purchaser
of the call within a definite time at an agreed price regardless of the then
current price of the security. As a result, the Company takes the risk that it
may be required to sell the security at the strike price, which could be a price
less than the then market price. Should the security decline in price over the
F-10
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
holding period of the call option, the Company realizes the option premium
received as income and the Company lessens or mitigates this risk which may be
eliminated by a closing transaction for the covered call and sale of the
underlying security.
The Company invests in large capitalized US securities traded on major US
exchanges and writes standardized covered calls only against these positions
(covered calls), which are openly traded on major US exchanges. The use of such
underlying securities and standardized calls lessens the credit risk to the
furthest extent possible. The Company is not exposed to significant cash
requirements through the use of covered calls in that it sells a call for a
premium and may use these proceeds to enter a closing transaction for the call
at a later date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Management believes the Company has the ability to hold all fixed income
securities to maturity. However, the Company determined it may dispose of
securities prior to their scheduled maturity due to changes in interest rates,
prepayments, tax and credit considerations, liquidity or regulatory capital
requirements or other similar factors, therefore the Company classifies all of
its fixed income securities (bonds) and equity securities as available-for-sale.
These securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses,
net of deferred income taxes, reported in stockholders' equity as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
There are no securities classified as held to maturity at May 31, 2012 or
November 30, 2012.
Invested assets are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and
credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain of these invested
assets and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of these
assets, it is possible that changes in risks in the near term may significantly
affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and
Statements of Income.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy in
selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the
most transparent or reliable:
O Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
O Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are
not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant
inputs are observable in active markets.
O Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or
more significant inputs are unobservable.
Fair market values are provided by the Company's independent investment
custodians that utilize third-party quotation services for the valuation of the
fixed-income investment securities and money-market funds held. The Company's
investment custodians are large money-center banks.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used to measure
different financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the
level in the fair value hierarchy in which the instrument is generally
classified.
FIXED INCOME SECURITIES
Securities valued using Level 1 inputs include highly liquid government bonds
for which quoted market prices are available. Securities using Level 2 inputs
are valued using pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions,
cash flow models with yield curves and other pricing models utilizing observable
inputs. Most fixed income securities are valued using Level 2 inputs. Level 2
includes corporate bonds, municipal bonds, asset-backed securities and mortgage
pass-through securities.
EQUITY SECURITIES
Level 1 includes publicly traded securities valued using quoted market prices.
F-12
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
The valuation of securities that are actively traded or have quoted prices are
classified as Level 1. These securities include money market funds and U.S.
Treasury bills. Level 2 includes commercial paper, for which all significant
inputs are observable.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

shares. Upon retirement of the notes subsequent to consummation of a qualified
equity offering, the Company shall issue to the holders of the bridge financing
notes additional Company common stock that, when added to the stock initially
issued to the holders of the notes, will equal the noteholder's pro rata share
of the applicable percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company as
follows: If the qualified financing consists of $50 million or more, the holders
of such notes will receive 28% of the common stock of the Company that would
otherwise be retained by the holders of the Company's common shares immediately
prior to the financing; if the qualified financing is for an amount less than
$50 million, the percentage will be reduced on a sliding scale to a fraction of
28% of the amount retained by the holders of the Company's common shares (where
the numerator is the amount of financing and the denominator is $50 million).
Beginning September 10, 2008, because a qualified financing had not been
completed, the Company became required under the terms of the bridge financing
to issue 2.80% of the Company's outstanding common shares and shall issue 2.80%
of the Company's outstanding common shares upon each six-month anniversary date
thereof until retirement of the notes. The following table summarizes the common

Pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Notes, the first two of 20 equal
quarterly installments of principal and interest payable thereunder were to have
been paid on December 10, 2008 and March 10, 2009 (the "INITIAL AMORTIZATION
PAYMENTS"). As the result of upheavals and dislocations in the capital markets,
the Company was unable to either refinance the indebtedness evidenced by the
Promissory Notes or make the Initial Amortization Payments to the Holders when
due; and an Event of Default (as defined in the Promissory Notes) occurred under
the Promissory Notes as a result of the Company's failure to pay the Initial
Amortization Payments within 14 days after same became due and payable.
On June 5, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with the bridge lenders to
forbear from exercising their rights and remedies arising from the Acknowledged
Events of Default. As consideration for the forbearance, the Company issued
5,171,993 shares of Common stock, and pledged the stock of the Company's
subsidiary, Crystal Mountain Water (CMW), as security for repayment of the
loans. The original repayment schedule called for quarterly payments of
$224,515. The Holders agreed that under the forbearance the Company may satisfy
its obligation by increasing the quarterly payments by $67,185, (to a total of
$291,700) for eight consecutive quarters beginning September 10, 2009 to satisfy
the arrearage. In addition, the interest rate was increased to 17%. Although the
Company has failed to make the payment that was due September 10, 2009 and the
payments that were due in the ensuing quarters, management has remained in close
contact with the bridge lenders, providing reports regarding its efforts to

REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
On December 30, 2005, through a private placement, the Company issued 350 shares
of 4% Non-Voting Series A Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred Stock), along with
1,050,000 warrants for common shares of Company stock as additional
consideration, for a cash investment in the amount of $350,000, in connection
with the Company's acquisition of FSC. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are
entitled to participate in FSC's partially collateralized bonding programs,
subject to continuing satisfaction of underwriting criteria, based upon the
bonding capacity of FSC attributable to capital reserves of FSC established with
the subscription proceeds (i.e., bonding capacity equal to ten times
subscription proceeds) and for so long as the subscriber holds the Series A
shares. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when
and as declared by the board of directors, cumulative preferential cash
dividends at a rate of four percent of the $1,000 liquidation preference per
annum (equivalent to a fixed annual rate of $40 per share). The Series A
Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company's common stock and pari passu with
the Company's Series B Preferred and Series C Preferred Stock with respect to
dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company. The holder may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock on or after the
seventh anniversary of the Issue Date, if the holder provides a written
statement to the Company that it will no longer require surety bonds issued by
the Company's insurance subsidiary (FSC) under its partially collateralized
bonding programs and, if no such surety bonds are then outstanding, the Company,
at the option of the holder, will redeem all or any portion of the Series A
Preferred Stock of such holder at a price per share equal to the Series A
Preferred Stock Issue Price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect
to the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of such holder to be redeemed. The
conditional redemption shall not be available to any holder of Series A
Preferred Stock for so long as surety bonds of the Company's insurance
subsidiary issued on a partially collateralized basis remain outstanding for the
benefit of such holder, and upon redemption, such holder shall no longer be
eligible to participate in the partially collateralized bonding programs of the
insurance subsidiary. The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares
of the Series A Preferred Stock. As of May 31, 2012, the Company has issued
2,675 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for cash investments in the
amount of $2,675,000. No shares were issued in the six month period ending
November 30, 2012.
On December 30, 2005, through a private placement, the Company issued 3,980
shares of 8% Non-Voting Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred
Stock), along with 19,900,000 warrants for common shares of Company stock as
additional consideration, for a cash investment in the amount of $2,985,000; and
issued 4,890.599 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, along with 24,452,996
warrants for common shares of Company stock as additional consideration, for a
conversion of $3,667,949 of indebtedness of the Company, in connection with the
Company's acquisition of FSC. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are
entitled to receive, when and as declared by the board of directors, cumulative
preferential cash dividends at a rate of eight percent of the $1,000 liquidation
preference per annum (equivalent to a fixed annual rate of $80 per share). The
Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company's common stock and pari
passu with the Company's Series A Preferred and Series C Preferred Stock with
respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the Company. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at
the option of the holder, at any time after the original issue date, into 1,000
fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company's common stock at a
conversion price of $1.00 per common share. The Company may redeem the Series B
F-18
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Preferred Stock at any time after the first anniversary of the Original Issue
Date at a price per share equal to the Series B Preferred Stock Face Amount plus
all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the shares of the Series B
Preferred Stock of such holder to be redeemed. To the extent that the Series B
Preferred Stock has not been redeemed by the Company, the holder may redeem the
Series B Preferred Stock on or after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue
Date at a price per share equal to the Series B Preferred Stock Face Amount plus
all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the shares of the Series B
Preferred Stock of such holder to be redeemed. The Company is authorized to
issue up to 10,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Company has not
issued any additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock during this fiscal
year.
The Company's outstanding Series B Preferred stock matured on December 30, 2010,
meaning that the holders of the Series B Stock became entitled to request that
the Company redeem their Series B Shares. As of this report, the Company has
received requests for redemption of 2,219 shares of Series B Preferred. The
aggregate amount to which the holders requesting redemption are entitled as of
December 31, 2012, is $3,865,255.
Under the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, upon receipt of such a request,
the Company's Board was required to make a good faith determination regarding
(A) whether the funds of the Company legally available for redemption of shares
of Series B Stock are sufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Series
B Stock to be redeemed on such date and (B) whether the amounts otherwise
legally available for redemption would, if used to effect the redemption, not
result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance Subsidiary. If the
Board determines that there is a sufficiency of legally available funds to
accomplish the redemption and that the use of such funds to affect the
redemption will not result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance
Subsidiary, then the redemption shall occur on the Redemption Date. If, however,
the Board determines either that there are not sufficient funds legally
available to accomplish the redemption or that the use of such funds to effect
the redemption will result in an impairment of the operations of the Insurance
Subsidiary, then (X) the Company shall notify the holders of shares that would
otherwise have been redeemed of such fact and the consequences as provided in
this paragraph, (Y) the Company will use those funds which are legally available
therefor and which would not result in an impairment of the operations of the
Insurance Subsidiary to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of Series B
Stock for which Redemption Notices have been received ratably among the holders
of such shares to be redeemed based upon their holdings of such shares, and (Z)
thereafter, until such shares are redeemed in full, the dividends accruing and
payable on such shares of Series B Stock to be redeemed shall be increased by 2%
of the Series B Face Amount, with the amount of such increase (i.e., 2% of the
Series B Face Amount) to be satisfied by distributions on each Dividend Payment
Date of shares of Common Stock having a value (determined by reference to the
average closing price of such Common Stock over the preceding 20 trading days)
equal to the amount of such increase. The shares of Series B Stock not redeemed
shall remain outstanding and entitled to all the rights and preferences provided
herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are legally
available for the redemption of shares of Series B Stock and such redemption
will not result in an impairment of operations of the Insurance Subsidiary, such
funds will immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Series B
Stock to be redeemed. No dividends or other distributions shall be declared or
paid on, nor shall the Company redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of, the
Common Stock or any other class or series of Junior Securities or Equal Ranking
Preferred of the Company unless the Redemption Price per share of all shares for
which Redemption Notices have been given shall have been paid in full, provided
that the redemption price of any Equal Ranking Preferred subject to redemption
shall be paid on a pari passu basis with the Redemption Price of the Series B
Stock subject to redemption in accordance herewith. Until the Redemption Price
F-19
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
for each share of Series B Stock elected to be redeemed shall have been paid in
full, such share of Series B Stock shall remain outstanding for all purposes and
entitle the holder thereof to all the rights and privileges provided herein, and
Dividends shall continue to accrue and, if unpaid prior to the date such shares
are redeemed, shall be included as part of the Redemption Price.
On March 8, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors determined based on the
criteria established under the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock that there
were insufficient funds available for the redemption of Series B Stock.
For the three months ended November 30, 2012, the Company experienced a loss
after accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock and
accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of $651,072 as
compared with a loss after accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible
preferred stock and accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock
of $491,418 for the three months ended November 30, 2011.
For the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Company experienced a loss after
accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock and accrued
dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of $1,123,026 as compared
with a loss after accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred
stock and accrued dividends on mandatorily redeemable preferred stock of
$649,759 for the six months ended November 30, 2011.
EQUITY PREFERRED STOCK
As a means of alleviating obligations associated with the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock, which by its terms matured at the end of 2010, management
proposed a recapitalization to assist in stabilizing the financial position of
the Company. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for two classes
of capital stock, known as common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the
"COMMON STOCK"), and preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the
"PREFERRED STOCK"). The Company's Board is authorized by the Certificate of
Incorporation to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in
series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State
of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included
in such series and to fix the designations, preferences and rights of the shares
of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions
thereof. Board deemed it advisable to designate a Series C Preferred Stock and
fixed and determined the preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and
restrictions relating to the Series C Preferred Stock as follows:
1. Designation. The shares of such series of Preferred Stock are
designated "Series C Preferred Stock" (referred to herein as the
"SERIES C STOCK"). The date on which the first share of Series C Stock
is issued shall hereinafter be referred to as the "ORIGINAL ISSUE
DATE".
2. Authorized Number. The number of shares constituting the Series C
Stock are 10,000.
3. Ranking. The Series C Stock ranks, (a) as to dividends and upon
Liquidation senior and prior to the Common Stock and all other equity
securities to which the Series C ranks prior, with respect to
dividends and upon Liquidation (collectively, "JUNIOR SECURITIES"),
(b) pari passu with the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (the "SERIES A STOCK"), the Corporation's
Series B Stock, and any other series of Preferred Stock subsequently
F-20
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
established by the Board with equal ranking (any such other series of
Preferred Stock, together with the Series C Stock, the Series B Stock
and Series A Stock are collectively referred to as the "EQUAL RANKING
PREFERRED") and (c) junior to any other series of Preferred Stock
subsequently established by the Board with senior ranking.
4. Dividend Accrual and Payment. The holders of the Series C Stock shall
be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of Junior
Securities, dividends ("DIVIDENDS") on each outstanding share of
Series C Stock at the rate of 8% per annum of the sum of (i) the
Series C Face Amount plus (ii) an amount equal to any accrued, but
unpaid, dividends on such Series C Stock, including for this purpose
the exchanged Series B Amount outstanding with respect to such Series
C Stock. For purposes hereof, the "SERIES B AMOUNT" means an amount
equal to the dividend that would have accrued on such Series C Stock
held by such holder from and after the Series B Original Issue Date
applicable to such share of Series C Stock, through the Original Issue
Date as if such Series C Stock had been issued on such Series B
Original Issue Date, less all amounts thereof distributed by the
Corporation with respect to such Series C Stock. Dividends shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1 following the Original Issue Date, or, if any such date is a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then on the next day which is not a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday (each a "DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE"), as
declared by the Board and, if not paid on the Dividend Payment Date,
shall accrue. Amounts available for payment of Dividends (including
for this purpose the Series B Amount) shall be allocated and paid with
respect to the shares of Series C Preferred and any other Equal
Ranking Preferred, FIRST, among the shares of Equal Ranking Preferred
pro rata in accordance with the amounts of dividends accruing with
respect to such shares at the current Dividend Payment Date, and,
THEN, any additional amounts available for distribution in accordance
with the accrued, but unpaid, dividends (and the Series B Amount then
outstanding) at each prior Dividend Payment Date, in reverse
chronological order, with respect to all shares of the Equal Ranking
Preferred then outstanding in accordance with amounts accrued, but
unpaid. For purposes hereof, the term "SERIES B ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE"
shall mean, with respect to any share of Series C Stock issued by the
Corporation in exchange for a share of Series B Stock, the date on
which the Corporation originally issued such share of Series B Stock.
The Recapitalization consisted of the exchange of Series B Shares for a
combination of Series C Shares and Common Stock. For each Series B Share, the
participating holder received (i) one Series C Share and (ii) 2,000 shares of
JFG Common Stock (for no additional consideration).
For the year ending May 31, 2010, 6,805 shares of Series B Stock were
surrendered and exchanged for 6,805 shares of Series C Stock. This exchange
amounted to $6,269,051 of carrying value of Series B stock being exchanged for
Series C and Common Stock. 13,609,872 shares of Common Stock were issued to the
Series C Stock holders at the rate of 2,000 Common shares for each exchanged
Series B Stock, with the related cost associated with the Common issuance
offsetting the Series C carrying value by $265,120. The shares were valued at
approximately $.01948 per share based on the average quoted closing price of the
Company's stock for the 20-day period proceeding the date of the transaction.
Series C stock may be redeemed by the Company but does not have a fixed maturity
date and, thus, is classified as permanent equity.
F-21
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The accrual of dividends on the equity preferred stock resulted in a charge to
common stockholders' equity of $228,373 and $449,847 for the three and six month
periods ending November 30, 2012, as compared with a charge to common
stockholders' equity of $210,936 and $415,500 for the three and six month
periods ending November 30, 2011.
DIVIDEND PREFERENCE AND ACCRETION
The Series A Shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of
4% per annum.
The Series B Shares have an 8% per annum compounding dividend preference, are
convertible into Common Shares of JFG at the option of the holders at a
conversion price of $1.00 per Share (as adjusted for dilution) and, to the
extent not converted, must be redeemed by the Corporation at any time after
December 31, 2010 at the option of the holder. Any such redemption is subject to
legal constraints, such as the availability of capital or surplus out of which
to pay the redemption, and to a determination by our Board of Directors that the
redemption will not impair the operations of First Surety.
The Series C Shares issued in the Recapitalization have the same 8% per annum
compounding dividend preference and carry over from the Series B Shares the same
accrued but unpaid dividends. While dividends had never been declared on the
Series B shares, they had been accrued, increasing the dividend preference and
the redemption price and liquidity preference of such shares and increasing the
liability represented thereby based upon the Series B Shares fixed maturity
date. The accrued (but undeclared) dividends associated with the Series C
exchange amounted to $2,295,624 and are included in the total amount exchanged
for Series C Shares. Unlike the Series B Shares with their fixed maturity date,
the Series C Shares are permanent equity, with accruing dividends only
increasing the preference amount that must be satisfied before junior securities
may participate in dividends or on liquidation. Accordingly, the effect of the
accrual of dividends with respect to the Series C Shares on the Company's
balance sheet is to increase the aggregate claim of the Series C Shares on the
equity of the corporation and to increase the deficit in common equity, while
having no effect on the net equity of the corporation as a whole. The
entitlement of the Series C Shares to a priority in relation to junior
securities with respect to dividends and on liquidation does not create an
obligation to the Company and therefore no liability is recorded until the
dividends are declared by the Board of the Company. The Series C Shares are pari
passu with the Corporation's Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Shares (to
the extent any remain outstanding following the Recapitalization) and no
dividends or other distributions will be paid upon Common Shares or any other
class of Shares that is junior in priority to the Series C Preferred while
dividends are in arrears. In addition, the Series C Shares are convertible into
Common Shares of JFG at the option of the holders at a conversion price of $0.10
per Share. The Series C Shares may be redeemed by the Corporation, at its
option, when it is in a financial position to do so.
Holders of over 70% of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares elected to
participate in the recapitalization. Those Series B Preferred Shareholders that
chose not to convert at this time are listed in the Liabilities section of the
Balance Sheet, and therefore the accretion and dividends associated with the
Series B stock after November 30, 2009 are deductions from net income. As the
redemption date on the Series B shares got closer, it became apparent that it
was unlikely that the shares would be converted to common at $1.00, and thus the
classification was changed. Dividends on Series B mandatorily redeemable
preferred stock deducted from net income amounted to $94,869 for the three-month
period ended November 30, 2012 and $186,871 for the six month period ending
November 30, 2012. The remaining Series B shares not converted were accreted
F-22
JACOBS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
from carrying value to the face amount for the 5 year period from the date of
issuance. Series C stock has no accretion. There were no shares of Series B
Stock surrendered or exchanged in the six month period ending November 30, 2012.
During the year ended May 31, 2012, two holders of Series A stock released all
of their outstanding bonds held with FSC. The shares of these Series A Preferred
shareholders are listed in the liability section of the Balance Sheet in the
amount of $1,453,581, which consists of $1,126,000 face value of stock and
$327,581 in dividends payable. The dividends associated with these shares of
Series A stock are a deduction from net income in the amount of $14,509 and
$28,719 for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2012. There was
no accretion on these shares of Series A stock.
As of November 30, 2012 the Company has chosen to defer payment of dividends on
the Series A Preferred Stock with such accrued and unpaid dividends amounting to
$657,252 through November 30, 2012.
As of November 30, 2012 the Company has chosen to defer payment of dividends on
the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock with such accrued and unpaid dividends
amounting to $1,982,617 and $4,749,028 through November 30, 2012.
NOTE G - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND MATERIAL AGREEMENTS
------------------------------------------------------------
As of November 30, 2012, the Company had accrued and withheld approximately
$207,000 in noncurrent Federal payroll taxes and approximately $29,000 in
estimated penalties and interest, which are reflected in the financial
statements as other liabilities. Management is in discussion with the IRS and
intends to satisfy this obligation as soon as possible.
As of November 30, 2012, the Company had accrued and withheld approximately
$41,000 in State of West Virginia payroll withholdings and approximately $9,900
in interest and penalties, which are reflected in the accompanying financial
statements as other liabilities. In August 2012 the Company entered into a
payment plan with the State of West Virginia which will satisfy this obligation
in full over a 15 month payment period.

NOTE I - REINSURANCE
--------------------
The Company limits the maximum net loss that can arise from large risks by
reinsuring (ceding) certain levels of such risk with reinsurers. Ceded
reinsurance is treated as the risk and liability of the assuming companies. The
Company cedes insurance to other companies and these reinsurance contracts do
not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders.
Effective April 1, 2009, FSC entered into a reinsurance agreement with various
syndicates at Lloyd's of London ("Reinsurer") for its coal reclamation surety
bonding programs. The agreement has been renewed annually with the Reinsurer,
with the most recent renewal effective July 1, 2012. The reinsurance agreement
is an excess of loss contract which protects the Company against losses up to
certain limits over stipulated amounts and can be terminated by either party by
written notice of at least 90 days prior to any July 1. The contract calls for a
premium rate of 35% subject to a minimum premium $490,000. Deposits are made to
the reinsurers quarterly in arrears in equal amounts of $140,000. At November
30, 2012 and May 31, 2012, the Company had prepaid reinsurance premiums of
$175,857 and $243,877 and ceded reinsurance deposited of $18,250 and $42,458.
At the close of the contract year ended June 30, 2012, the Company had written
$407,274 in ceded premium on coal reclamation surety bonds. In order to meet the
contract minimum of $490,000 of ceded premium written, the Company had to record
an additional $82,726 in ceded premium at June 30, 2012.
There were no ceded losses and LAE expenses for the six months ended November
30, 2012 or 2011.
The effects of reinsurance on premium written and earned for the three and six
month periods ending November 30, 2012 are as follows;

Under the terms of its reinsurance agreement, the Company is entitled to a No
Claims Bonus from the reinsurers for each claim year in which no claims are
received. The bonus is 20% of the annual reinsurance premium and is to be
recorded upon the completion of each contract year. On August 31, 2011 the
Company recorded receipt of $213,281 from its reinsurers representing the
cumulative No Claims Bonus under the terms of its reinsurance agreement for the
claim years ending June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. For the contract year ended
June 30, 2012, the Company recorded a No Claims Bonus receivable in the amount
of $98,000. The No Claims Bonus is not included in the analysis of written and

NOTE J-STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
-------------------------------
On June 30, 2009 the compensation committee of the board of directors awarded
10,000,000 incentive stock options to acquire common shares at an exercise price
of four cents ($.04) per share, of which 4,700,000 shares vested immediately and
the remaining 5,300,000 options vested over the next three years ending in June
2011. The term of the options is five years and expires in June 2014.
NOTE K - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
--------------------------
Subsequent to November 30, 2012, the Company extended borrowings of $25,000 from
individuals to fund ongoing operation and made no repayments on existing debt.
Such borrowings were obtained under a demand note bearing an interest rate of
10%. This borrowing included the issuance of 25,000 shares of its common stock
as additional consideration. Additionally, the Company obtained borrowings of
$274,560 from its principal shareholder and chief executive officer under its
pre-approved financing arrangement bearing interest at the rate of 12% and made
repayments totaling $87,075. After taking into account the net accrued payroll
owed that is to be offset against these borrowings, the balance owed to the
principal shareholder is $27,025 at the date of this filing.
On December 30, 2012, the Company elected to continue to defer payment of
dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock, with such cumulative accrued and unpaid dividends amounting to
$690,848, $2,079,398 and $4,982,007, respectively.
On January 1, 2013 the Company issued 2,434,098 shares of common stock as
additional 2% dividend to holders of Series B Preferred that had requested
redemption.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During fiscal 2012 and the six-month period ended November 30, 2012, the Company
has focused its primary efforts on the development and marketing of its surety
business in West Virginia and Ohio, arranging for potential strategic
relationships that will accelerate the progression of the Company's business
plan and raising additional capital to increase the capital base of its
insurance subsidiary, First Surety Corporation ("FSC"), to facilitate entry into
other state markets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2011
The Company experienced a loss from operations for the three-month period ended
November 30, 2012 of $235,404 as compared with a loss from operations of
$145,096 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2011.
REVENUES
Revenues from operations for the three-month period ended November 30, 2012 were
$340,542 as compared with $324,111 for the corresponding period ended November
30, 2011. The overall increase in revenues is largely attributable to an
increase in premiums written by FSC in the current year, as well as more gains
recognized in the current year on the sale of investments held by the Company.
For the three-month period ended November 30, 2012 net investment income
declined due to the re-allocation of assets in the investment portfolio compared
to the previous year. Some interest bearing mortgage backed securities were sold
at various times during the previous twelve-month period and replaced with
non-interest bearing, or zero coupon bonds. In addition, investment advisory
fees declined due to the decrease in the size of the portfolios under
management.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY REVENUES
Quarterly revenues from the Company's investment management segment (Jacobs &
Company or J&C), net of advisory referral fees, were $42,438 for the three-month
period ended November 30, 2012 as compared with $56,100 for the corresponding
period ended November 30, 2011. Investment advisory fees are based on the market
value of assets under management, some fluctuation will occur due to overall
market conditions. For the most part, however, such revenues will remain
relatively constant from quarter to quarter with any large fluctuations being
attributable to the growth or decline of assets under management.
INSURANCE AND INVESTMENT REVENUES
Quarterly revenues from the Company's surety insurance segment, consisting of
FSC and Triangle Surety Agency, Inc ("TSA"), were $296,757 for the three-month
period ended November 30, 2012 as compared with $266,416 for the corresponding
period ended November 30, 2011. Revenues attributable to premium earned, net
investment income and commissions earned are as follows:
-3-
Three-month Period Ended
November 30,
2012 2011
----------------- -----------------
Premium earned $ 218,126 $ 194,331
Commissions earned 3,450 4,377
Net investment income 60,726 65,082
Net realized investment gains 14,455 2,626
----------------- -----------------
Total $ 296,757 $ 266,416
================= =================
Premium revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the policy period and
thus is relatively stable from period to period with fluctuations for comparable
periods generally reflecting the overall growth or loss of business. Commission
revenue, which is dependent on the timing of issuance or renewal of bonds, is
somewhat more seasonal from quarter-to-quarter with fluctuations for comparable
periods largely reflecting the overall growth or loss of business. The increase
in premium earned for the three-month period ended November 30, 2012 in
comparison to the corresponding period from the prior year is a result of
increase in bonds issued for new and existing clients.
Investment income should remain relatively consistent but can fluctuate based on
interest rates, dividends and market conditions as well as the average assets
held for investment. The decrease in corresponding periods reflects a decrease
in average assets held for investment in FSC's investment portfolio, from $7.730
million for the three-month period ended November 30, 2011 to $7.579 million for
the three-month period ended November 30, 2012, as well as a decrease in
investment yield from approximately 3.72% for the three-month period ended
November 30, 2011 to 2.92% for the three-month period ended November 30, 2012.
This decrease in investment yield is mostly attributable to the diversification
of some invested assets from interest earning, mortgage backed securities to
tax-exempt zero coupon bonds. The ultimate effect of zero coupon bonds will be
reflected over the life of the bond through accretion rather than yield. During
the period, equity securities in the portfolio provided dividends and gains from
the covered call strategy utilized on the equities.
During the three-month period ending November 30, 2012, the Company sold certain
equity investments for $163,132, resulting in realized gains of $14,455. In the
three-month period ending November 30, 2011, the Company sold certain equity
investments for $7,660, resulting in realized gains of $2,626.
EXPENSES
INCURRED POLICY LOSSES
The Company has experienced no claims for losses as of November 30, 2012.
However, "incurred but not reported" (IBNR) policy losses for the three-month
periods ending November 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $47,032 and $43,183
respectively. Such amounts represent the provision for loss and loss adjustment
expense estimated attributable to surety bonds issued by FSC. Such estimates are
-4-
based on industry averages adjusted for factors that are unique to FSC's
underwriting approach and are routinely reviewed for adequacy based on current
market conditions and other factors unique to FSC's business. For each of these
periods, IBNR policy losses were approximately 22% and 22% of earned premium.
POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Insurance policy acquisition costs of $67,733 and $68,389 for the three-month
periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, represent charges to
operations for policy acquisition expense and premium tax attributable to surety
polices issued by FSC and are recognized ratably over the period in which
premiums are earned. Such cost as a percentage of earned premium was
approximately 31% and 35% for the periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011
respectively.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended November
30, 2012 and 2011 were $458,510 and $354,942 respectively, representing an
increase of approximately $104,000, and were comprised of the following:

Total salaries and related costs $ 273,250 $ 203,710 $ 69,540
================== ================== ===================
-5-
The increase in salaries and taxes is due to the issuance of Company stock to
its employees as compensation for services rendered. The slight decrease in
commissions is attributable to the timing of payment of commissions based upon
collections. The Company's commission structure pays a larger commission
percentage on the origination of a policy but reduced for subsequent policy
renewals.
Legal and other professional fees and costs were comprised of the following:
Three-month Period Ended

------------------ ------------------ -------------------
Total legal and other professional fees $ 34,597 $ 9,320 $ 25,277
================== ================== ===================
The increase in general corporate services expense results primarily increased
legal and consulting expenses affecting the insurance subsidiary. Legal and
other professional services and costs related to the Company's pending
acquisitions and on-going efforts to obtain financing necessary to expand the
Company's business and penetrate new markets amounted to $20,184 and $653 for
the three-month periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The increase in travel, meals and entertainment expense for the three-month
period ended November 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding 2011 period
related primarily to expanded efforts by management to obtain financing
necessary for the Company's business and penetration of additional markets.
Other general and administrative expense increased approximately $3,500 for the
three-month period ended November 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding 2011
period. This increase is attributable to increases in public filing fees,
outside consultants and temporary help, as well as overall increases in several
less significant items.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three-month period ended November 30, 2012 was $287,538
as compared with $226,537 for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2011.
Components of interest expense are comprised of the following:

----------------- ----------------- -----------------
Total interest expense $ 287,538 $ 226,537 $ 61,001
================= ================= =================
The increased expense of common shares issued (or to be issued) for the
three-month period ended November 30, 2012 as compared to the previous year
period is attributable to rise in market value of the common stock used to
calculate the price of shares to be issued for the semi-annual bridge loan
issuance. Other finance charges for the three-month period ended November 30,
2012 consists of interest charged on past due accounts payable and Federal and
State payroll taxes.
ACCRETION AND DIVIDENDS
Accretion of mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock issued at a
discount and accrued dividends for three-month periods ended November 30, 2012
and 2011 are as follows:

The remaining Series B class of stock is treated as a liability as of November
30, 2009 after the majority was exchanged for Series C equity stock. Therefore,
for the three-month period ending November 30, 2012, dividends of $94,869
associated with the Series B after November 30, 2009 are deductions from net
income and not included in the table above. For the thee-month period ending
November 30, 2011 accretion of $126 and dividends of $87,699 associated with the
Series B remaining after that date are deductions from net income and not
included in the table above. During the year ended May 31, 2012, two holders of
Series A stock released all of their outstanding bonds held with FSC. Therefore,
these shares of Series A Preferred are listed in the liability section of the
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet and the dividends after February 29, 2012
associated with these shares are a deduction from net income in the amount of
$14,509 and not included in the table above. Series C equity stock is not
mandatorily redeemable and does not accrete.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2012
The Company experienced a loss from operations for the six-month period ended
November 30, 2012 of $270,860 as compared with income from operations of $42,538
for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2011.
REVENUES
Revenues from operations for the six-month period ended November 30, 2012 were
$724,919 as compared with $980,875 for the corresponding period ended November
30, 2011. The apparent decrease in revenues is largely attributable to the
previous year's receipt of a cumulative No Claims Bonus from its reinsurers for
the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, as well as the need to
recognize additional ceded premium in the current year in order to meet the
minimum amount set forth in the Reinsurance contract. For the six-month period
ended November 30, 2012 net investment income declined due to the re-allocation
of assets in the investment portfolio compared to the previous year. Some
interest bearing mortgage backed securities were sold at various times during
the previous twelve-month period and replaced with U.S. Treasury-backed zero
coupon bonds. In addition, investment advisory fees declined due to the decrease
in the size of the portfolios under management.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY REVENUES
Quarterly revenues from the Company's investment management segment (Jacobs &
Company or J&C), net of advisory referral fees, were $97,330 for the six-month
period ended November 30, 2012 as compared with $131,071 for the corresponding
period ended November 30, 2011. Investment advisory fees are based on the market
value of assets under management and some fluctuation will occur due to overall
market conditions. For the most part, however, such revenues will remain
relatively constant from quarter to quarter with any large fluctuations being
attributable to the growth or loss of assets under management.
INSURANCE AND INVESTMENT REVENUES
Quarterly revenues from the Company's surety insurance segment, consisting of
FSC and Triangle Surety Agency, Inc. ("TSA"), were $622,211 for the six-month
period ended November 30, 2012 as compared with $847,564 for the corresponding
period ended November 30, 2011. Revenues attributable to premium earned, net
investment income and commissions earned are as follows:

Premium revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the policy period and
thus is relatively stable from period to period with fluctuations for comparable
periods generally reflecting the overall growth or loss of business. Commission
revenue is dependent on the timing of issuance or renewal of bonds and is
somewhat more seasonal quarter-to-quarter, with fluctuations for comparable
periods largely reflecting overall growth or loss of business. The decrease in
premium earned for the six-month period ended November 30, 2012, in comparison
to the corresponding period from the prior year is a result of the need to
recognize additional ceded premium in the current year in order to meet the
minimum premium set forth in the Reinsurance contract.
For the six-month period ended November 30, 2011, the Company's insurance
subsidiary, FSC, recorded $213,281 from its reinsurers representing cumulative
No Claims Bonus under the terms of its reinsurance agreement for the claim years
ending June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. For the six-month period ended November
30, 2012, the Company recorded $98,000 of No Claims Bonus receivable for the
claim year ending June 30, 2012.
Investment income should remain relatively consistent, but can fluctuate based
on interest rates and market conditions. The decrease in corresponding periods
reflects a decrease in average assets held for investment in FSC's investment
portfolio, from approximately $7.692 million for the six-month period ended
November 30, 2011 to approximately $7.618 million for the six-month period ended
November 30, 2012, as well as a decrease in investment yield from approximately
3.60% for the six-month period ended November 30, 2011 to approximately 2.94%
for the six-month period ended November 30, 2012. This decrease in investment
yield is mostly attributable to the diversification of some invested assets from
interest earning, mortgage backed securities to non-interest earning, zero
coupon bonds. The ultimate effect of zero coupon bonds will be reflected over
the life of the bond through accretion rather than yield. During the period,
equity securities in the portfolio provided dividends and gains from the covered
call strategy utilized on the equities.
During the six-month period ending November 30, 2012, the Company sold certain
equity investments for $222,544, resulting in a realized gain of $25,880. During
the six-month period ending November 30, 2011, the Company sold certain US
Government agency mortgage backed securities and equity investments for
$128,568, resulting in realized gains of $14,718.

However, "incurred but not reported" (IBNR) policy losses for the six-month
period ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $96,405 and $103,596

expense that may be incurred by surety bonds issued by FSC. Those estimates are
based on industry averages adjusted for factors that are unique to the FSC's
underwriting approach and are routinely reviewed for adequacy based on current

provisions were approximately 27% and 22% of earned premium for the six-month
-9-
periods ending November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase as a
percentage of earned premium for the current period is due to FSC's need to
recognize the minimum ceded premium amount required in the Reinsurance contract,
without corresponding premium written.
POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS
Insurance policy acquisition costs of $137,456 and $153,308 for the six-month
periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, represent charges to

polices issued by FSC and are recognized ratably over the period in which
premiums are earned. Such costs as a percentage of earned premium were
approximately 38% and 33% for the periods ended November 30, 2012 and 2011

The increase in salaries and taxes is due to the issuance of Company stock to
its employees as compensation for services rendered. The decrease in commissions
is partially attributable to FSC's commission structure that pays a larger

policy renewals. In addition, two customers were purchased by a multi-national
firm with existing surety capacity, resulting in the release of those bonds and
reducing commissions, and those bonds were released and the timing of some

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In exchange for the purchase price of $2.9 million for the 2005 acquisition of
FSC, the Company received cash and investments held by FSC totaling $2.75
million, with the difference being attributed to the multi-line property and
casualty licenses of FSC in the states of West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. Such
licenses have indefinite lives and are evaluated annually for recoverability and
impairment loss. Impairment loss, if any, is measured by estimating future cash
flows attributable to such assets based on forecasts and projections and
comparing such discounted cash flow amounts to the carrying value of the asset.
Should actual results differ from such forecasts and projections, such assets
may be subject to future impairment charges.
RESERVE FOR LOSSES AND LOSS EXPENSES
Reserves for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses of the insurance
subsidiary are estimated using individual case-basis valuations in conjunction
with estimates derived from industry and company experience. FSC has experienced
no claims for losses as of November 30, 2012.
FSC holds licenses to write coal permit and miscellaneous fixed-liability limit
surety bonds in West Virginia and Ohio. Coal permit bonds are required by
regulatory agencies to assure the reclamation of land that has been disturbed by
mining operations and accordingly is a highly regulated process by federal and
state agencies. Such bonds are generally long-term in nature with mining
operations and reclamation work conducted in unison. Additionally, no two
principals and properties are alike due to varied company structures and unique
geography and geology of each site.
In underwriting coal reclamation bonds, management obtains estimates of costs to
reclaim the relevant properties in accordance with the specifications of the
mining permit prepared by independent outside professionals experienced in this
field of work. Such estimates are updated periodically and contrasted to the
principal's pledged asset account, which FSC requires to mitigate risk exposure.
Should the principal default in its obligation to reclaim the property as
specified in the mining permit, FSC would then use the funds in the collateral
account to reclaim the property or as an offset in forfeiting the face amount of
the surety bond. Losses can occur if the costs of reclamation exceed the
estimates obtained at the time the bond was underwritten or upon subsequent
re-evaluations if sufficient collateral is not obtained or if the collateral has
experienced significant deterioration in value and FSC is not otherwise able to
recover under its contractual rights to indemnification.
In general, miscellaneous fixed-liability surety bonds are collateralized in
full by the principal's cash investment in a collateral investment account
managed by the Company's investment advisory subsidiary (Jacobs & Co.) that
mitigates FSC's exposure to loss. Losses can occur should the principal default
-13-
on the performance required by the bond and the collateral investment account
experiences deterioration in value.
In establishing its reserves for losses and loss adjustment expense, management
routinely reviews its exposure to loss based on periodic monitoring and
inspection reports, along with industry averages and historical experience.
Management estimates such losses based on industry experience adjusted for
factors that are unique to the Company's approach, and in consultation with
actuaries experienced in the surety field.
ANALYSIS OF LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION AND RECENT
DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE DIRECTION OF COMPANY
The Company experienced income (losses) from operation of approximately $16,000
and ($22,000) for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The
Company's income decreases (or loss increases) when accretion of mandatorily
redeemable convertible preferred stock and accrued dividends on mandatorily
redeemable preferred stock are taken into account, to approximately ($1,220,000)
and ($1,440,000) for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
For the six-month period ended November 30, 2012 the Company had a loss from
operations of approximately $270,860, which, when accrued dividends on
mandatorily redeemable preferred stock are taken into account, results in a loss
of approximately $1,123,000. The Company had positive cash flow of approximately
$135,000 from operating activities for the six-month period ended November 30,
2012. A substantial portion of the Company's cash flow is generated by its
insurance subsidiary and is subject to certain withdrawal restrictions. Despite
the continued reduction of operating expenses, the Company has not been able to
pay certain amounts due to professionals and others, continues to be unable to
pay its preferred stock dividend obligation or to cure its default in certain
quarterly payments due its bridge-financing lenders. While management expects
revenue growth and cash flow to increase significantly when its business plan is
fully implemented, it is anticipated that losses will continue and the Company
will be cash constrained until FSC develops a more substantial book of business.
The Company is restricted in its ability to withdraw monies from FSC without
prior approval of the Insurance Commissioner. Of the Company's investments and
cash of $7,869,398 as of November 30, 2012, $7,867,950 is restricted to FSC.
By Order dated March 26, 2012 the West Virginia Insurance Commissioner
terminated the conditions imposed upon FSC by Consent Order dated December 23,
2005 and the Amended Consent Order dated June 8, 2007, which, among other
conditions, included limitations before seeking license or Extension of its
Authority in other states without obtaining prior approval of the Commissioner.
Effective April 1, 2009, and continuing through annual renewals, the most recent
of which was July 1, 2012, various syndicates of Lloyd's of London have
reinsured FSC for its coal reclamation surety bonding programs. This agreement
has provided additional bonding capacity to FSC and has enabled the underwriting
of more and greater size bonds for its coal reclamation bonding clients. This
-14-
reinsurance arrangement has allowed FSC to expand its market share and increase
cash flow for each of the Company's operating subsidiaries.
Expansion of FSC's business to other states is a key component to fully
implementing the Company's business plan. In fiscal 2009, the Company was able
to increase the capital of FSC, reactivate FSC's insurance license in Ohio and
obtain authority to issue surety bonds in that state. However, management has
found that entry into other states (as a surety) has been difficult due to FSC's
relatively small capital base and the financial condition of the Company.
Management believes that if FSC's capital and surplus reserves were more
substantial and the financial condition of the Company stabilized, entry into
other states would be less challenging. Accordingly, management continues to
pursue investor relationships that will provide additional capital to its
insurance subsidiary and fund operations as the business fully develops.
As a means of alleviating obligations associated with the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock, which by its terms matured at the end of 2010, management
proposed a recapitalization to assist in stabilizing the financial position of
the Company. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock were offered the
opportunity to exchange their Series B Shares for an equal number of shares of a
new series of JFG preferred stock designated as Series C Preferred Stock plus
2,000 shares of JFG Common Stock. Series C Preferred Stock is equal in priority
to the Series B Preferred Stock, is entitled to dividends at the same rate as
Series B Preferred Stock, is entitled to convert to common stock of the Company
at a conversion rate of $.10 per common share (in contrast to $1.00 per share
for Series B Preferred) and may be redeemed by the Company but does not have a
fixed maturity date and, thus, is classified as permanent equity. Holders of
over 70% of the outstanding Series B Preferred Shares elected to participate in
the recapitalization.
Through the sharing of resources (primarily personnel) to minimize operating
costs, the Company and its subsidiaries attempt to minimize operating expenses
and preserve resources. Although FSC is cash flow positive, the use of its
assets and profits are restricted to its stand-alone operation by regulatory
authority until its capital and surplus reserves reaches a more substantial
level. Although the growth of FSC provides additional cash flow to the Company's
other subsidiaries, Jacobs and Triangle Surety, it is anticipated that working
capital deficiencies will continue and need to be met either through the raising
of additional capital or borrowings. However, there can be no assurance that
additional capital (or debt financing) will be available when and to the extent
required or, if available, on terms acceptable to the Company. Accordingly,
concerns as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern are
substantial. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company's exposure to the subprime mortgage risk is minimal due to its
investment in mortgage-backed securities being limited to only those securities
backed by the United States government (i.e. Government National Mortgage
Association or GNMA securities). The Company also holds municipal obligations
that have been fully defeased through the purchase of Resolution Funding
Corporation ("REFCORP") strips that were placed in escrow and provide means for
the bond repayment. REFCORP was created by the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") to provide funds to the
Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") in order to help resolve the Savings and
-15-
Loan failures. REFCORP operates as a United States Treasury agency under the
direction of the RTC Oversight Board, whose chair is the secretary of the United
States Treasury, and its obligations are ultimately backed by the United States
government.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
------------------------------------------------------------------
As the Registrant qualifies as a small reporting company as defined by
ss.229.10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Registrant is not required to provide the
information required by this item.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
--------------------------------
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or
submits under the Securities and Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules
and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the
Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
Our management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as of November 30, 2012. As previously reported in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2012, control deficiencies were identified
that constitute a material weakness in internal control over financial
reporting. Such control deficiencies relate to the use of internally developed
non-integrated accounting systems, lack of internal review of account
reconciliations, and lack of internal review of general journal entries,
elimination entries and the financial statement consolidation process. Based
upon their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of November
30, 2012, were ineffective. Changes will be considered as additional financial
resources and accounting staff become available.
Notwithstanding the above, management believes the unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly
present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition as of
November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012 and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the six month period ended November 30, 2012 and 2011 in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP).
