(5) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options under the recognition and measurement
principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations.
The stock options were awarded at an exercise price equal to the market value of
the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Accordingly, there has
been no employee compensation cost recognized in earnings for the stock options.
FAS 123 provides an alternative to APB 25 whereby fair values may be ascribed to
options using a valuation model and amortized to compensation cost over the
vesting period of the options. The following tables illustrate the pro forma
effect on net income and earnings per share for each period indicated as if the
Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to its stock
option program.
The pro forma fair value of stock-based compensation in the Company's Class A
Shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
---------------------- -----------------------

The significant assumptions used during the year in estimating the fair value on
the date of the grant for original options and reload options granted in 2002
were as follows:
2002
----
Expected life of stock options, in years 9
Expected volatility of ACMAT stock 44%
Risk-free interest rate 4.0
Expected annual dividend yield --
Expected annual forfeiture rate --
No options were granted in 2003.
(6) New Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (FAS 143). FAS 143 changes
the measurement of an asset retirement obligation from a cost-accumulation
approach to a fair value approach, where the fair value (discounted value) of an
asset retirement obligation is recognized as a liability in the period in which
it is incurred and accretion expense is recognized using the credit-adjusted
risk-free interest rate in effect when the liability was initially recognized.
The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying
amount of the long-lived asset and subsequently amortized into expense. The
pre-FAS 143 prescribed practice of reporting a retirement obligation as a
contra-asset will no longer be allowed. The Company is not impacted by this new
standard which took effect on January 1, 2003.
In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" (FAS
146). FAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities be recognized when the liability is incurred. Existing
generally accepted accounting principles provide for the recognition of such
costs at the date of management's commitment to an exit plan. In addition, FAS
146 requires that the liability be measured at fair value and be adjusted for
changes in estimated cash flows. The provisions of the new standard are
effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The
Company is not impacted by this new standard.
9
(8) Life Insurance Proceeds, net
On January 13, 2002, the Founder, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Corporation died at the age of 82. At the time of his death, Mr.
Nozko, Sr. owned of record or beneficially shares of the Corporation's Common
Stock and Class A Stock having approximately 53% of the total voting power of
the Corporation's voting capital stock. During the pendency of Mr. Nozko's
estate, such voting power has been vested in the executors of the estate who are
his son, Henry W. Nozko, Jr., the current Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Corporation, and his daughter Pamela N. Cosmas.
The Company was the owner and beneficiary of several key-man life insurance
policies totaling approximately $11.9 million. After consideration of the
cash-surrender value of the policies, the Company reported a gross gain of
approximately $8.8 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2002.
In connection with the passing of Henry W. Nozko, Sr., the Company incurred
certain obligations, previously approved by the Board of Directors, totaling
approximately $5.5 million. These obligations for consulting fees, widow's
compensation and unused vacation pay were due only to the extent that sufficient
proceeds existed from the life insurance policies at the time of Mr. Nozko's
death.
(9) Segment Reporting
The Company has three reportable operating segments: ACMAT Contracting, ACSTAR
Bonding and United Coastal Liability Insurance. The Company's reportable
segments are primarily the three main legal entities of the Company, which offer
different products and services. The accounting policies of the segments are the
same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
ACMAT Contracting provides construction contracting services to commercial and
governmental customers. ACMAT Contracting also provides underwriting services to
its insurance subsidiaries. In addition, ACMAT Contracting owns a commercial
office building in New Britain Connecticut and leases office space to its
insurance subsidiaries as well as third parties.
The United Coastal Liability Insurance operating segment offers specific lines
of liability insurance as an approved non-admitted excess and surplus lines
insurer in forty-six states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of
Columbia. United Coastal offers claims made and occurrence policies for specific
specialty lines of liability insurance through certain excess and surplus lines
brokers who are licensed and regulated by the state insurance department(s) in
the state(s) in which they operate. United Coastal offers general, professional,
products, pollution, asbestos and lead liability insurance to specialty trade
contractors, environmental contractors, property owner, storage and treatment
facilities and professionals. United Coastal also offers products liability
insurance to manufacturers and distributors.
The Bonding operating segment provides, primarily through ACSTAR, surety bonds
written for prime, specialty trade, environmental, asbestos and lead abatement
contractors and miscellaneous obligations. ACSTAR also offers other
miscellaneous surety such as workers' compensation bonds, supply bonds,
subdivision bonds and license and permit bonds.
3. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
CONSOLIDATION OF VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). FIN 46 clarifies the application of
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to
certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a
controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the
entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial
support from other parties. It separates entities into two groups: (1) those for
which voting interests are used to determine consolidation and (2) those for
which variable interests are used to determine consolidation (the subject of FIN
46). FIN 46 clarifies how to identify a variable interest entity and how to
determine when a business enterprise should include the assets, liabilities,
noncontrolling interests and results of activities of a variable interest entity
in its consolidated financial statements. FIN 46 is effective immediately for
variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. It also applies to
interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003 for variable interest entities
acquired before February 1, 2003. If it is reasonably possible that an
enterprise will consolidate or disclose information about a variable interest
entity when FIN 46 becomes effective, the enterprise is required to disclose in
all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, the nature, purpose,
size and activities of the variable interest entity and the enterprise's maximum
exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the variable interest
entity.
The Company holds mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities which are
considered variable interest entities. For purposes of applying FIN 46, the
Company is evaluating investments which were acquired or created prior to
February 1, 2003 to determine whether such investments should be consolidated
or disclosed as variable interest entities in the Company's future financial
statements.
The Company continues to assess the impact, if any, that the consolidation and
disclosure provisions of FIN 46 may have on the consolidated financial
statements.
10
The Company evaluates performance based on earnings before income taxes and
excluding interest expense. The Company accounts for intersegment revenue and
expenses as if the products/services were to third parties. Information relating
to the three segments for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003
and 2002 is summarized as follows:

ACMAT CORPORATION
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net earnings were $504,590 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to
$806,163 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in net earnings for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the same period a year ago
reflects the absence of a tax benefit in 2003 offset by an increase in earned
premium in 2003. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were
$882,177 compared to $1,543,472 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The
decrease in net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to
2002 is largely due to the absence of a one-time benefit from life insurance
proceeds received in 2002 offset in part by an increase in earned premium and
a decrease in loss and loss adjustment expense. The net earnings for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 reflects the net effect of life insurance proceeds,
net of the related obligations, due to the death of the Chairman and President
of the Company and the related tax benefits offset by an increase to loss
reserves due to adverse development in prior years and additional remediation
expenses incurred on a construction project significantly exceeded the original
estimate.
Revenues were $4,352,178 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to
$9,870,189 for the same period in 2002. Revenues were $8,357,371 for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $20,931,325 for the same period in 2002.
Earned premiums were $3,118,193 for the three months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $2,058,341 for the same period a year ago. Earned premiums were
$5,377,996 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $3,597,877 for the
same period in 2002. Contract revenues were $286,820 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 compared to $6,634,068 for the same period a year ago. Contract
revenues were $1,011,113 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to
$11,801,599 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Contract revenue is
difficult to predict and depends greatly on the successful securement of
contracts bid.
Investment income was $620,919 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared
to $913,114 for the same period in 2002. Investment income was $1,255,238 for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $1,797,627 for the same period in
2002. The decrease in investment income was primarily related to a decrease in
the yield on invested assets offset in part by an increase in invested assets.
Net realized capital gains for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $22,649
compared to net realized capital losses of $691 for the same period a year ago.
Net realized capital gains were $248,771 for the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to net realized capital gains of $16,962 for the same period a year
ago.
Life insurance proceeds received in 2002 reflect the net proceeds of several
key-man life insurance policies totaling approximately $8,800,000. In addition,
the Company incurred certain obligations, previously approved by the Board of
Directors, totaling approximately $5,500,000. These obligations for consulting
fees, widow's compensation and unused vacation pay were due only to the extent
that sufficient proceeds existed from the life insurance policies at the time of
Mr. Nozko's death.
Other income was $303,597 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to
$265,357 for the same period in 2002. Other income was $464,253 for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $368,357 for the six months ended June
30, 2002. Other income consists primarily of rental income.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $1,077,195 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 compared to $496,680 for the same period a year ago. The increase
in loss and loss adjustment expense for the three month period ended June 30,
2003 compared to the same period a year ago reflects an increase in the current
year loss and loss adjustment expense ratio and an increase in earned premiums.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $1,863,319 for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 compared to $3,078,223 for the same period a year ago. The losses
and loss adjustment expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 is
attributable to the strengthening of loss reserves due to adverse development in
prior years. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, the Company
increased reserves by a net amount of $2,200,000. Amortization of policy
acquisition costs were $597,346 for the three months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $416,256 for the same period in 2002. Amortization of policy
acquisition costs were $1,024,696 for the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $848,819 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in
amortization of policy acquisition costs reflects increase in earned premium
offset in part by a decrease in commissions paid.
Costs of contract revenues were $305,244 for the three months ended June 30,
2003 compared to $6,937,171 for the same period a year ago, representing gross
profit (loss) margin (6.4)% and (4.6)%, respectively. Costs of contract revenues
were $943,629 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $12,611,912 for
the same period a year ago, representing gross profit (loss) margins of 6.7% and
(6.9)%, respectively. The Company incurred additional remediation expenses on a
construction project that significantly exceeded the original estimate. Gross
margin fluctuates each year based upon the profitability of specific projects.
13
General and administrative expenses were $1,322,413 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 compared to $1,254,136 for the same period a year ago. The
increase in general and administrative expense for the three month period ended
June 30, 2003 compared to the same period a year ago reflects an increase in bad
debt expense in 2003. General and administrative expenses were $2,617,290 for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $2,694,679 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to 2002 is due primarily to a one-time
investment write-off in 2002.
Interest expense was $267,049 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared
to $505,868 for the same period in 2002. Interest expense was $554,429 for the
six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $1,043,082 for the same period a year
ago. The decrease in interest expense is due to the decrease in long-term debt
and replacement of high-interest bearing debt with lower interest-bearing debt
during the fourth quarter of 2002.
Income tax expense was $278,341 for the three months ended June 30, 2003
compared to income tax benefit of $546,085 for the same period a year ago
representing effective tax rates of 35.6% and (210)%, respectively. Income tax
expense was $471,831 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to income
tax benefit of $888,862 for the same period a year ago, representing effective
tax rates of 34.8% and (136)%, respectively. The effective tax rate in 2003
reflects the Company's reduction in tax exempt interest. The effective rate in
2002 reflects the recognition of net life insurance proceeds which are exempt
for income tax purposes.

The increase in net written premiums for the three and six months ended June 30,
2003 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 reflect the
impact of the favorable insurance market. ACSTAR has experienced a significant
increase in business opportunities over the past twelve months that meet
ACSTAR's underwriting standards.

offset by an increase in earned premiums. Operating earnings for the six months
ended June 30, 2003 were $1,073,820 compared to $361,358 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002. The operating earnings for the six months ended June 30,
2003 reflect the increase in earned premiums and realized capital gains. The
operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2002 reflect the addition
of $500,000, net of recoveries, to loss reserves for adverse development in
prior years and the emergence of adverse loss trends in 2002.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $510,247 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 compared to $241,643 for the same period a year ago. The increase

14
2003 compared to $615,338 for the same period a year ago. The increase in
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 is
due primarily to a one-time rent recovery from an affiliate in 2002.

loss adjustment expense ratio and an increase in earned premiums. Losses and
loss adjustment expenses were $999,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $2,175,944 for the same period a year ago. The 2002 losses and loss
adjustment expenses is attributable to the strengthening of loss reserves due to
adverse development in prior years. During the three-month period ended March
31, 2002, the Company increased United Coastal reserves by a net amount of
$1,700,000. Amortization of policy acquisition costs were $400,020 for the three

Operating Earnings (Loss) $ 190,626 (592,942) (57,684) (1,508,766)
Revenues for the ACMAT Contracting segment were $1,497,810 for the three months
ended June 30, 2003 compared to $7,615,271 for the same period in 2002. Revenues
were $2,909,961 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $13,486,948
for the same period a year ago. The 2003 decrease in revenue reflects a decrease
in contract revenues compared to 2002 due to the completion of most backlog
during 2002. Contract revenue is difficult to predict and depends greatly on the
successful securement of contracts bid.

Operating earnings for the ACMAT Contracting segment were $190,626 for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to operating losses of $592,942 for the same
period a year ago. Operating losses were $57,684 for the six months ended June
30, 2003 compared to operating losses of $1,508,766 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002. The operations in 2003 reflect a significant decrease in contract
revenue and the decrease in rental income charged to ACSTAR and United Coastal
effective January 1, 2003. The operating loss in 2002 is due primarily to
additional remediation expenses incurred on a construction project that
significantly exceeded the original estimate.
The 2003 decrease in revenue reflects the completion of most of the backlog in
2002. Contract revenue depends greatly on the successful securement of contracts
bid and execution. The Company is substantially complete with its current
projects and its current backlog relates to primarily one profitable project.
The backlog at June 30, 2003 was $4,000,000 compared to $6,000,000 at June 30,
2002. The decrease in backlog reflects the significant number of contractors
competing for a limited number of projects available in our market place.
Cost of contract revenues were $305,244 for the three months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $6,937,171 for the same period in 2002 representing gross profit
(loss) margin of (6.4)% and (4.6)%, respectively. Cost of contract revenues were
$943,629 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $5,671,614 for the
same period a year ago, representing gross profit (loss) margins of 6.7% and
(6.9)%, respectively. Gross margin fluctuates each year based upon the
profitability of specific projects.
General and administrative expenses were $1,001,940 for the three months ended
June 30, 2003 compared to $1,271,042 for the same period a year ago. General and
administrative expenses were $2,024,016 for the six months ended June 30, 2003
compared to $2,383,802 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in general
and administrative expense is primarily due to a one-time investment write-off
in 2002.
RESERVES FOR LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES:
Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are established with respect to
both reported and incurred but not reported claims for insured risks. The amount
of loss reserves for reported claims is primarily based upon a case-by-case
evaluation of the type of risk involved, knowledge of the circumstances
surrounding each claim and the policy provisions relating to the type of claim.
As part of the reserving process, historical data is reviewed and consideration
is given to the anticipated impact of various factors such as legal developments
and economic conditions, including the effects of inflation. Reserves are
monitored and evaluated periodically using current information on reported
claims.
Management believes that the reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses at
June 30, 2003 are adequate to cover the unpaid portion of the ultimate net cost
of losses and loss adjustment expenses, including losses incurred but not
reported. Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are estimates at any
given point in time of what the Company may have to pay ultimately on incurred
losses, including related settlement costs, based on facts and circumstances
then known. The Company also reviews its claim reporting patterns, loss
experience, risk factors and current trends and considers their effect in the
determination of estimates of incurred but not reported reserves. Ultimate
losses and loss adjustment expenses are affected by many factors, which are
difficult to predict, such as claim severity and frequency, inflation levels and
unexpected and unfavorable judicial rulings. Reserves for surety claims also
consider the amount of collateral held as well as the financial strength of the
principal and its indemnitors.
The Company's insurance subsidiaries loss ratios under generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") were 34.5% and 24.1% for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 respectively. The increase in losses and loss
adjustment expenses is attributable to the emergence of loss trends in the
current year. The Company's insurance subsidiaries' expense ratios under GAAP
were 51.9% and 50.0% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The increase in the 2003 expense ratio results primarily from the
increase in expensed offset by an increase in earned premiums. The Company's
insurance subsidiaries' combined ratios under GAAP were 86.5% and 74.1% for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Company's insurance subsidiaries' loss ratios under generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") were 34.6% and 85.6% for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The 2002 losses and loss adjustment
expenses reflect the strengthening of loss reserves due to adverse development
in prior years and emergence of loss trends in the current year. During the
three-month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company increased reserves by a net
amount of $2,200,000. The Company's insurance subsidiaries' expense ratios under
GAAP were 53.4% and 64.5% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The decrease in the 2003 expense ratio results primarily from the
decrease in commissions paid and an increase in earned premiums. The Company's
insurance subsidiaries' combined ratios under GAAP were 93.4% and 150.0% for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company internally generates sufficient funds for its operations and
maintains a relatively high degree of liquidity in its investment portfolio. The
primary sources of funds to meet the demands of claim settlements and operating
expenses are premium collections, investment earnings and maturing investments.
The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures and, in the
opinion of management, has adequate sources of liquidity to fund its operations
over the next year.
ACMAT, exclusive of its subsidiaries, has incurred negative cash flows from
operating activities primarily because of interest expense related to notes
payable and long-term debt incurred by ACMAT to acquire and capitalize its
insurance subsidiaries and to repurchase Company stock.
ACMAT's principal sources of funds are dividends from its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, intercompany and short-term borrowings, insurance underwriting
fees from its subsidiaries, construction contracting operations and rental
income. Management believes that these sources of funds are adequate to service
its indebtedness. ACMAT has recently relied on dividends from its insurance
subsidiaries to repay debt.
The Company generated cash flow from operations of $10,338,203 and $4,054,588
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The cash
flow from operations is due primarily to the increase in cash collateral. Net
cash flows from operations in 2002 resulted primarily from life insurance
proceeds and cash collateral. The Company's cash flow was used to repay
long-term debt and repurchase stock. The Company's short term investment
strategy coincides with the relatively short maturity of its liabilities which
are comprised primarily of reserves for losses covered by claims-made insurance
policies, reserves related to surety bonds and collateral held for surety
obligations.
Net cash used for investing activities in the first six-months of 2003 amounted
to $17,863,243 compared to $2,359,730 for the same period in 2002. Purchases of
investments are made based upon excess cash available after the payment of
losses and loss adjustment expenses and other operating and non-operating
expenses.
The terms of the Company's note agreements contain limitations on payment of
cash dividends, re-acquisition of shares, borrowings and investments and
require maintenance of specified ratios and minimum net worth levels, including
cross default provisions. The Company was in compliance with the covenants at
June 30, 2003, except for the ratio of Funded Debt to Statutory Earnings. The
Company expects to be in compliance by the end of the year or to receive a
waiver.
The Company maintains a short-term unsecured bank credit line totaling $10
million to fund interim cash requirements. There were no borrowings under this
line of credit as of June 30, 2003.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, the Company purchased, in the
open market and privately negotiated transactions, 2,000 shares of its Common
Stock at an average price of $10.33 per share. During the six-month period ended
June 30, 2003, the Company also purchased, in the open market and privately
negotiated transactions, 11,300 shares of its Class A Stock at an average price
of $8.28 per share.
The Company's principal source of cash for repayment of long-term debt is from
dividends from its two insurance companies. Under applicable insurance
regulations, ACMAT's insurance subsidiaries are restricted as to the amount of
dividends they may pay to their respective holding companies, without the prior
approval of their domestic State insurance department. The amount of dividends
ACMAT's insurance subsidiaries may pay, without prior approval of their domestic
State insurance departments, are limited to approximately $4,491,000 in 2003.
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Risk-based capital requirements are used as early warning tools by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners and the states to identify companies that
require further regulatory action. The ratio for each of the Company's insurance
subsidiaries as of June 30, 2003 was above the level which might require
regulatory action.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses are established with respect
to both reported and incurred but not reported claims for insured risks. The
amount of loss reserves for reported claims is primarily based upon a
case-by-case evaluation of the type of risk involved, knowledge of the
circumstances surrounding each claim and the policy provisions relating to the
type of claim. As part of the reserving process, historical data is reviewed
and consideration is given to the anticipated impact of various factors such
as legal developments and economic conditions, including the effects of
inflation. Reserves are monitored and evaluated periodically using current
information on reported claims. This is a critical accounting policy for the
insurance operations.
Revenue on construction contracts is recorded using the percentage of
completion method. Under this method revenues with respect to individual
contracts are recognized in the proportion that costs incurred to date relate
to total estimated costs. Revenues and cost estimates are subject to revision
during the terms of the contracts, and any required adjustments are made in the
periods in which the revisions become known. Provisions are made, where
applicable, for the entire amount of anticipated future losses on contracts in
progress. Construction claims are recorded as revenue at the time of settlement
and profit incentives and change orders are included in revenues when their
realization is reasonably assured. Selling, general and administrative expenses
are not allocated to contracts. This is a critical accounting policy for the
ACMAT construction segment.
CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS:
Contractual obligations at June 30, 2003 include the following:
Payment due by Period Total 2002 2003/2004 2005/2006 After 2006
----- ---- --------- --------- ----------
Long-Term Debt (principal) $20,314,632 $1,208,099 $5,223,604 $5,217,451 $8,665,478
The Company also has cash collateral of $35,250,814 at June 30, 2003, which it
would be required to return at the end of expiration of applicable bond period
subject to any claims.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES:
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is
defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission'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. Any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives. The Company's management, with the
participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003. Based upon
that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of
the Company's disclosure controls and procedures provided reasonable assurance
that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their
objectives.
In addition, there was no change in the Company's "internal control over
financial reporting" (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2003
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.
