|
· |
as
discussed below, purchased
the assets of AIA Acquisition Corp., which has five store locations
that
operate under the Atlantic Insurance brand name, and Accurate Agency,
Inc.
(and related entities), which has four store locations and operate
under
the Accurate Agency brand name
|
· |
changed
our business model with respect to our premium finance operations
from
selling finance contracts to third parties to internally financing
those
contracts
|
· |
During
2005, we utilized our line of credit with Manufacturers and Traders
Trust
Co. (“M&T”), our premium finance lender, to repay an aggregate of
$2,000,000 of our $3,500,000 subordinated
debt.
|
· |
Effective
May 25, 2005, the holders of the remaining $1,500,000 outstanding
principal amount of our subordinated debt agreed to extend the
maturity
date of the debt from January 10, 2006 to September 30, 2007. This
extension was given to satisfy a requirement of M&T that arose in
connection with the increase in our revolving line of credit to
$25,000,000 and the extension of the line to June 30, 2007, as
described
under “Developments During 2004” below. In consideration for the extension
of the due date of our subordinated debt, we extended the expiration
date
of warrants held by the debtholders for the purchase of 97,500
of our
common shares from January 10, 2006 to September 30, 2007.
|
· |
On
November 15, 2005, we entered into an agreement for the acquisition
of
substantially all of the assets of Accurate Agency, Inc., Louisons
Associates Limited and Accurate Agency of Western New York, Inc.,
insurance brokerage firms with a total of four offices located
in and
around Rochester, New York that operate under the Accurate Agency
brand.
The transaction was consummated effective as of January 1, 2006.
The
acquisition is part of our strategy to expand our operations into
other
regions of New York State.
|
· |
Effective
August 26, 2004, we effected a one-for-five reverse split of our
common
shares.
|
· |
On
October 7, 2004, our common shares began trading on the NASDAQ
Small Cap
Market.
|
· |
In
December 2004, we increased our premium finance line of credit
with
M&T from $18,000,000 to $25,000,000 and extended the term of the
line
to June 30, 2007. Subject to certain conditions, M&T has agreed to
arrange an additional $10,000,000 credit facility with other lenders
on a
“best efforts” basis. The terms of the new line of credit agreement are
similar to our previous line of credit agreement with M&T, except that
the interest rate was reduced from M&T’s prime lending rate plus 1.5%
to, at our option, either (i) M&T’s prime lending rate or (ii) LIBOR
plus 2.5%, and the amount that we can borrow was raised from 80%
to 85% of
eligible premium finance receivables.
|
· |
Effective
May 1, 2003, we acquired substantially all of the assets of AIA
Acquisition Corp., an insurance brokerage firm with five offices
located
in eastern Pennsylvania that operate under the Atlantic Insurance
brand.
The acquisition allowed for the expansion of our geographical footprint
outside New York State and allowed for us to capitalize on operational
and
administrative efficiencies.
|
· |
In
July 2003, in connection with the change in our premium finance
operations
business model, as discussed above, we obtained an $18,000,000
revolving
line of credit from M&T that was due to expire in July 2005. Interest
on this loan was payable at the rate of prime plus 1.5%. Concurrently,
we
obtained a $3,500,000 secured subordinated loan, that was initially
repayable in January 2006 and carries interest at the rate of 12-5/8%
per
annum. In connection with the $3,500,000 debt financing, we issued
warrants for the purchase of 105,000 common shares at an exercise
price of
$6.25 per share. The warrants initially expired on January 10,
2006. See
“Developments During 2004” and “Developments During 2005”
above.

Net
cash provided by operating activities during the year ended December
31,
2005 was $477,182 primarily due our net income for the period of
$495,760,
depreciation and amortization of $404,523 and a decrease in accounts
receivable of $1,164,510, offset by a decrease in premiums payable
of
$278,420, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$1,042,585 and a decrease in income taxes payable of $361,634.
The
decrease in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to the
collection in 2005 of the 2004 contingent fees receivable. No such
contingent fees were earned in 2005 since the payment of these
fees was
discontinued by the insurance carriers in 2005. Premiums payable
represents the amount of insurance premiums due to insurance carriers
on
policies for which we provide premium financing. Upon the customer
entering into a premium financing agreement with us, the customer
makes a
down payment to the insurance carrier generally equal to 15% of
the
estimated premium. We agree to lend to the customer the remaining
85% of
the estimated premium. We make a payment of 10% of the estimated
premium
to the carrier at the time of the application for insurance. The
remaining
balance of 75% of the estimated premium is our premium payable.
Prior to
October 2004, we remitted the balance of the unpaid premium upon
receipt
of the first periodic loan payment due from the customer. In order
to
better manage our credit risk, effective October 2004, we strengthened
our
controls and began to remit the balance of the premium to the carrier
only
after receipt of the first periodic loan payment from the customer
and
confirmation from the carrier of the actual premium amount. If
the actual
premium is greater than the amount previously estimated by the
carrier, we
require that the customer remit the difference to the carrier or
amend the
financing agreement for the revised amount prior to paying the
remaining
amount due the carrier. Premiums payable fluctuate from period
to period
depending upon the volume of premium financing contracts entered
into.
Premiums payable decreased because of a decline in the dollar amount
of
premium finance contracts entered into in 2005. At December 31,
2005,
amounts released for payment to insurers but not cleared by our
bank were
classified as premiums payable. No such reclassification was made
at
December 31, 2004, resulting in less of a decrease in premiums
payable at
December 31, 2005. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses
resulted from payments to our franchisees of their portion of the
contingent receivable discussed above and the decrease in income
taxes
payable resulted from payments of income taxes in 2005.
|
· |
Though
fluctuations in our premium finance business impact our cash position
and
daily operations, our cash flows from operating activities do not
reflect
changes in the premium finance contract receivables or borrowing
under our
revolving credit facility associated with that business. Changes
in the
premium finance contract receivables are considered investing activities
as they include the making and collection of loans and borrowings
under
our revolving line of credit are considered financing
activities.
|
· |
Cash
of $4,865,553 was provided by investing activities during the year
ended
December 31, 2005 primarily due to a decrease in our net finance
contracts
receivable of $4,947,011. This was the result of a reduction in
the dollar
amount of premium finance contracts entered into in
2005.
|
· |
Net
cash used by financing activities during the year ended December
31, 2005
was $3,897,145 primarily due to proceeds of $57,580,406 from our
revolving
loan from M&T for premium finance purposes, offset by payments of
$59,399,541 on the revolving loan and payments of a portion of
our
subordinated loan of $2,000,000.

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
|
Principles
of consolidation -
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of
all subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we have a majority voting
interest or voting control. All significant intercompany accounts
and
transactions have been eliminated.
|
|
Commission
and fee income - We
recognize commission revenue from insurance policies at the beginning
of
the contract period, except for commissions that were received annually
on
a contingent basis in 2004, for which we recognized the commission
revenue
ratably during the fiscal year based on estimates of the contingent
revenue to be received. Full fiscal year figures for 2004 for such
contingent commissions were based upon amounts actually received
from
insurers for the fiscal year. Refunds of commissions on the cancellation
of insurance policies are reflected at the time of cancellation.
During
the year ended December
31, 2004, approximately $1,463,000 was recognized as contingent commission
revenue. There has been an industry-wide change in the method by
which
insurance brokers are compensated by insurers, many of which no longer
pay
contingent commissions. As a result, in 2005, our base commissions
have
increased and no contingent commission revenue has been recognized
for the
year ended December 31, 2005.
|
|
Franchise
fee revenue on initial franchisee fees is recognized when substantially
all of our contractual requirements under the franchise agreement
are
completed. Franchisees also pay a monthly franchise fee plus an applicable
percentage of advertising expense. We are obligated to provide marketing
and training support to each franchisee. During the years ended December
31, 2005 and 2004, approximately $65,000 and $25,000, respectively,
was
recognized as initial franchise fee income.
|
|
Fees
for income tax preparation are recognized when the services are completed.
Automobile club dues are recognized equally over the contract
period.
|
|
Allowance
for doubtful accounts -
Management must make estimates of the uncollectability of accounts
receivable. Management specifically analyzed accounts receivable
and
analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer
credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer
payment
terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful
accounts.
|
|
Finance
income, fees and receivables - For
our premium finance operations, we are using the interest method
to
recognize interest income over the life of each loan in accordance
with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 91, "Accounting for
Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring
Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases."
|
|
Upon
the establishment of a premium finance contract, we record the gross
loan
payments as a receivable with a corresponding reduction for deferred
interest. The deferred interest is amortized to interest income using
the
interest method over the life of each loan. The weighted average
interest
rate charged with respect to financed insurance policies was approximately
26.55% and 26.17% per annum for the years ended December 31, 2005
and
2004, respectively.
|
Notes
to Financial Statements
|
Two
Years Ended December 31, 2005
|
Upon
completion of collection efforts, after cancellation of the underlying
insurance policies, any uncollected earned interest or fees are charged
off.
|
|
Allowance
for finance receivable losses
-
Customers who purchase insurance policies are often unable to pay
the
premium in a lump sum and, therefore, require extended payment terms.
Premium finance involves making a loan to the customer that is backed
by
the unearned portion of the insurance premiums being financed. No
credit
checks are made prior to the decision to extend credit to a customer.
Losses on finance receivables include an estimate of future credit
losses
on premium finance accounts. Credit losses on premium finance accounts
occur when the unearned premiums received from the insurer upon
cancellation of a financed policy are inadequate to pay the balance
of the
premium finance account. After collection attempts are exhausted,
the
remaining account balance, including unrealized interest, is written
off.
We review historical trends of such losses relative to finance receivable
balances to develop estimates of future losses. However, actual write-offs
may differ materially from the write-off estimates that we used.
For the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the provision for finance
receivable losses was approximately $2,963,000 (before estimated
recoveries of approximately $225,000 which reduced the provision
for
finance receivable losses) and $2,966,000, respectively, and actual
write-offs for such year, net of actual and anticipated recoveries
of
previous write-offs, were approximately $2,795,000 and $3,147,000,
respectively. If our provision for finance receivable losses was
understated by 5% because our actual write-offs were greater than
anticipated, the effect would have been a reduction in our basic
earnings
per share by approximately $0.03 and $0.04 for the years ended December
31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
|
|
Goodwill
and intangible assets
-
In
January 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets".
SFAS No. 142 requires, among other things, that companies no longer
amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least
annually. In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires that we identify reporting
units for the purpose of assessing potential future impairment of
goodwill, reassess the useful lives of other existing recognized
intangible assets and cease amortization of intangible assets with
an
indefinite useful life.
|
|
The
carrying value of goodwill was initially reviewed for impairment
as of
January 1, 2002, and is reviewed annually or whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount might
not be
recoverable. If the fair value of the operations to which goodwill
relates
is less than the carrying amount of those operations, including
unamortized goodwill, the carrying amount of goodwill is reduced
accordingly with a charge to expense. Based on our most recent analysis,
we believe that no impairment of goodwill exists at December 31,
2005.
|
|
Property
and equipment
- Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using
the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the
remaining term of the lease.
|
|
Deferred
loan costs
- Deferred
loan costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related
term of
the loan.
|
|
Concentration
of credit risk - We
invest our excess cash in deposits and money market accounts with
major
financial institutions and have not experienced losses related to
these
investments.
|
|
All
finance contracts receivable are repayable in less than one year.
In the
event of a default by the borrower, we are entitled to cancel the
underlying insurance policy financed and receive a refund for the
unused
term of such policy from the insurance carrier. We structure the
repayment
terms in an attempt to minimize principal losses on finance contract
receivables.
|
Notes
to Financial Statements
|
Two
Years Ended December 31,
2005
|
|
We
perform ongoing credit evaluations and generally do not require
collateral.
|
Cash
and cash equivalents -
We
consider all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three
months or less, as well as bank money market accounts, to be cash
equivalents.
|
|
Estimates
-
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. The most significant estimates include the allowance for
finance receivable losses. It is reasonably possible that events
could
occur during the upcoming year which could change such
estimates.
|
|
Net
income per share -
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available
to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which
they
have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon
exercise
of stock options and conversion of mandatorily redeemable preferred
stock.

Advertising
costs -
Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising
first
takes place. Included in general and administrative expenses are
advertising costs approximating $601,000 and $629,000 for the years
ended
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
|
|
Impairment
of long-lived assets -
We
review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
be held
and used for impairment on an annual basis and whenever events or
changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds
the
fair value of the asset. If other events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset that we expect to hold
and
use may not be recoverable, we will estimate the undiscounted future
cash
flows expected to result from the use of the asset or its eventual
disposition, and recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss,
if
determined to be necessary, would be measured as the amount by which
the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
A
similar evaluation is made in relation to goodwill, with any impairment
loss measured as the amount by which the carrying value of such goodwill
exceeds the expected undiscounted future cash
flows.

Income
taxes -
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon the
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
that
will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse.
|
|
New
accounting pronouncements - In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised
2004)
"Share-Based Payment" (SFAS No. 123R) that addresses the accounting
for
share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee
services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the company or
(b)
liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company's equity
instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity
instruments. SFAS No. 123R addresses all forms of share-based payment
awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans,
stock
options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No.
123R
eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation
transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to
Employees", that was provided in Statement 123 as originally issued.
Under
SFAS No. 123R companies are required to record compensation expense
for
all share-based payment award transactions measured at fair value.
This
statement is effective for quarters ending after December 15, 2005.
We
have not yet determined the impact of applying the various provisions
of
SFAS No. 123R.
In
March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" (FIN 47). FIN 47 requires
an
entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a legal obligation
to perform asset-retirement activities that are conditional on a
future
event if the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Interpretation
provides guidance to evaluate whether fair value is reasonably estimable.
FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending
after
December
15, 2005. FIN 47 did not have a material impact on our financial
position
or results of operations.
In
May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
"Accounting Changes and Error Corrections," which replaces APB Opinion
No.
20, "Accounting Changes," and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes
in
Interim Financial Statements," and changes the requirements for the
accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.
SFAS No.
154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and
to
changes required by an accounting pronouncement when the pronouncement
does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires
retrospective application of changes in accounting principle to prior
periods' financial statements unless it is impracticable to determine
either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect
of the change. APB Opinion No. 20 previously required that most voluntary
changes in accounting principle be recognized by including the cumulative
effect of the change in net income for the period of the change in
accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 carries forward without change
the
guidance contained in APB Opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction
of
an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in
accounting estimate. SFAS No. 154 also carries forward the guidance
in APB
Opinion No. 20 requiring justification of a change in accounting
principle
on the basis of prefer ability. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting
changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning
after
December 15, 2005, with early adoption permitted. Our adoption of
SFAS No.
154
will not have an impact on our financial condition or results of
operations.
|
|
In
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain
Hybrid
Financial Instruments," an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and
140.
SFAS No. 155 improves financial reporting by eliminating the exemption
from applying Statement No. 133 to interests in securitized financial
assets so that similar instruments are accounted for similarly regardless
of the form of the instruments. This Statement also improves financial
reporting by allowing a preparer to elect fair value measurement
at
acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial
instrument is subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event, on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, in cases in which a derivative would
otherwise have to be bifurcated. This Statement is effective for
all
financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an
entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
Earlier
adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year,
provided the entity has not yet issued financial statements, including
financial statements for any interim period for that fiscal year.
Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments that an
entity
holds at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
SFAS
No. 155 is not expected to have a material impact on our financials
condition or results of operations.

|
Website development costs - Technology and content costs are generally expensed as incurred, except for certain costs relating to the development of internal-use software, including those relating to operating our website, that are capitalized and depreciated over two years. A total of $172 and $16,746 in such costs were incurred during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. | |
Comprehensive
income (loss) -
Comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and
losses
that under generally accepted accounting principles are included
in
comprehensive income but are excluded from net income as these amounts
are
recorded directly as an adjustment to stockholders' equity. At December
31, 2005 and 2004, there were no such adjustments
required.
|
|
Stock
based compensation - We
apply APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
and
related interpretations in accounting for our plans and do not recognize
compensation expense for our employee stock-based compensation plans.
We
have also adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." This
pronouncement requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim
financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reporting
results. Had we recorded compensation expense for the stock options
based
on the fair value at the grant date for awards in the years ended
December
31, 2005 and 2004, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, our
net
income and net income per share would have been adjusted to the following

The

The
Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating
the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions
and
are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require
the
input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock
price
volatility. Because our stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our stock
options.
