GLOBAL PREFERRED HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2003
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Global
Preferred Holdings, Inc. (Global Preferred) have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and with
the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2003. The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with
Global Preferreds audited financial statements included in Global Preferreds
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

2. Deferred Tax

Global Preferred uses the asset and liability method to record deferred
income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases using an effective federal income tax rate of 34%.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxesspecifically excludes recognition of the small life insurance
company deduction available under Section 806 of the Internal Revenue Code for
qualifying life insurance companies. This special deduction can reduce the
effective federal income tax rate from 34% to less than 20% depending upon the
amount of taxable income. Consequently, the effective tax rate on Global
Preferreds earnings may ultimately prove to be less than the deferred income
tax liabilities and related expenses determined under SFAS No. 109, at June 30,
2003.

3. Comprehensive Income

SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for
reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. The primary component of other
comprehensive income is the unrealized gain on securities as shown under the
equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. Total comprehensive income
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $455,630 compared to $939,840 for
the three months ended June 30, 2002. Total comprehensive income for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 was $902,680 compared to $2,011,731 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002.

4. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period, in accordance with SFAS No.
128, Earnings Per Share. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the
total weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. All outstanding stock options were
anti-dilutive for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003.

The shares used in the computation of Global Preferreds basic and diluted
earnings per common share are as follows:

##### Table of Contents



For
the six month period ended June 30, 2002, weighted average
common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, include the incremental shares
that would be issued upon the conversion of the convertible note
issued to Money Services, Inc. The
conversion price of the note is $15.99 per common share based on the
maturity value of the convertible note. For the three month period ended
June 30, 2002 and the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, the incremental
shares issued and the income impact upon the conversion of the convertible note were excluded because they
would have been anti-dilutive. The outstanding stock options along with the convertible note could be dilutive in the future.

The income available to common shareholders used in the computation of the
companys basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows:

5. Common Stock

Shares of convertible preferred stock issued in June and July 2000 were
converted to common stock on January 1, 2002. No other changes to our common
stock occurred during 2002 or 2003.

6. Stock Options

Global Preferreds employee stock incentive plan and directors stock
option plan (the stock option plans) are accounted for under the intrinsic
value recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. As the exercise
price of all options granted under the stock option plans did not exceed the
fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date, no stock-based
employee compensation cost is recognized in net income. The following table
illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if Global Preferred
had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation, to the stock option plans as of the dates
reported.

SFAS
No. 123 requires the development of an estimate of the fair
value of options granted. While Global Preferred believes that option
pricing models, such as binomial and Black-Scholes,  provide the best estimate of the fair value of the
options granted, these valuation models have limitations. In
managements opinion, these models may not necessarily provide a reliable
single measure of the fair value of Global Preferreds stock options, because
(i) Global Preferreds employee and director stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, (ii) there is no active
trading market in Global Preferreds capital stock and the stock therefore does
not have a readily ascertainable fair market value, and (iii) changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.
In addition, options give the option holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy
Global Preferreds common stock at a fixed price in the future regardless of
the fair value of the common stock at the purchase date, therefore, there is no
guarantee that the options will ever have any tangible value. Global
Preferred has used a binomial option valuation model to determine
fair value of its employee and director stock options.

For purposes of this pro-forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the
options is assumed to be amortized as a stock-based compensation expense over
the options vesting periods.

In 2002, Global Preferred established the Global Preferred Holdings, Inc.
Stock Incentive Plan (the Stock Incentive Plan). The aggregate number of
shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan is
1.5 million shares. Awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan may be stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock options intended to qualify as
incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. The term of the
options, including vesting, exercise price and expiration date, are determined
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the date of the
grant. No options may be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan after July 30,
2012. The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan is to attract and retain
experienced, knowledgeable employees and to align the interests of these
employees with Global Preferreds stockholders.

Also in 2002, Global Preferred adopted and the stockholders ratified the
Global Preferred Holdings, Inc. Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors
Option Plan). This plan was subsequently amended by the Board of Directors,
which amendment was ratified by the stockholders in June 2003. The aggregate
number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Directors
Option Plan is 280,000 shares. Options granted under the Directors Option Plan
generally vest over a 3 to 4 year period and the exercise price is not less
than the fair value of the shares of common stock subject to the options
granted as of the date of grant, as determined by the Board of Directors. No
options may be granted under the Directors Option Plan after January 9, 2012.
The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan is to attract and retain experienced,
knowledgeable directors and to align the interests of Global Preferreds
directors with the stockholders.

Options granted by the Company currently expire no later than 10 years
from the grant date and generally vest within 4 years. The exercise price of
all options outstanding as of June 30, 2003 is $10.46. Additional information

##### Table of Contents



In May 2003, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted
options to purchase an aggregate of 170,688 shares of common stock to certain
employees in order to retain employees due to competitive market conditions and
to provide additional incentive to such persons to increase the value of Global
Preferreds stock. Pursuant to the ratification of the amendment to the
Directors Option Plan, in June 2003, the non-employee directors of Global
Preferred were granted options to purchase 78,625 shares of Global Preferreds
common stock for the same reasons.

These options will expire if not exercised prior to their expiration
dates, the latest of which is May 2013. No options have been exercised.

The fair value of options granted in 2003 reported above was estimated at
the date of grant using a binomial option valuation model. The following
assumptions were used in determining the SFAS No. 123 expense associated with
the stock option plans. The volatility used was 0%; the risk free interest
rate was 3%; dividend yield was 0%; the gross director termination rate was 0%;
and the gross employee termination rate was 20%. Options were assumed to be
exercised at varying rates depending upon the excess of the fair value of
Global Preferreds common stock modeled over the strike price of the option.
These rates varied from 0% where the excess of the fair value of the common
stock over the strike price of the option was $0 to 34% per year when this
excess was $8 or higher. The weighted average estimated fair value of employee
and director stock options granted during 2003 using SFAS No. 123 assumptions
was $0.24 and zero, respectively.

7. Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance
sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes
in the fair value of a derivative will be included in either earnings or other
comprehensive income depending on the intended use of the derivative
instrument. The provisions of SFAS No. 133 do not have a material impact on
Global Preferreds financial statements. In 2003, SFAS No. 149, Amendment of
Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued.
This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The provisions
of SFAS No. 149 are not expected to have a material impact on Global
Preferreds financial statements.

In
April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
cleared Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. B36,
Embedded Derivatives: Modified Coinsurance Arrangements and Debt
Instruments that Incorporate Credit Risk Exposures that are Unrelated
or Only Partially Related to the Creditworthiness of the Obligor
Under Those Instruments, which includes guidance with respect to modified coinsurance arrangements
involving fixed account products. Global Preferred does not have any modified
coinsurance reinsurance treaties involving fixed account products and therefore
this issue is not expected to have a material impact on Global Preferreds
financial statements.

The FASB recently issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial
Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. The
provisions of this statement provide guidelines on how companies recognize
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and
equity. It requires certain financial instruments, which were previously
treated as equity, to be classified as a liability. The provisions of this
statement are effective for financial statements issued on or after June 15,
2003. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact
on Global Preferreds financial statements.

In 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 145, SFAS No. 146 and SFAS No. 147 dealing
with extinguishment of debt, exit and disposal activities and acquisitions of
financial institutions, respectively. The provisions of these standards do not
have a material impact on Global Preferreds financial statements. The FASB
also issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition
and Disclosure,in 2002. Global Preferred has implemented the disclosure
requirement of this standard in conjunction with its reporting of employee
stock compensation.

Also, in 2002, FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Othersand in January 2003, FASB issued Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.The interpretations issued are
not expected to have a material impact on Global Preferreds financial
statements.

In
July 2003, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 03-1, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance
Enterprises for Certain Nontraditional Long-Duration Contracts and for Separate
Accounts. The provisions of this SOP are effective for financial statements
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003 and require, among other
things, an explicit approach to account for guaranteed minimum death benefits
for certain variable annuity policies. Under the explicit approach, a
guaranteed minimum death benefit liability is established with the change in
the liability included in gross profits used to determine the amortization of
the deferred acquisition costs. A change to the explicit approach from current
methods would result in an increase in future policy benefits and an increase
in deferred acquisition costs. While the Company has not fully quantified the
effect of these changes, management does not expect them to have a material
impact on Global Preferreds financial statements.

8. Segment Reporting

Global Preferred defines reportable segments based on the nature of its
reinsurance agreements and the accounting treatment used for the various
reinsurance agreements. Based on this definition, two reportable segments have
been identified: non-universal life-type agreements and universal life-type
agreements (as each is referenced in SFAS No. 97, Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Contracts and for Realized
Gains and Losses from the Sale of Investments, paragraphs 44 and 45). Global
Preferred reinsures certain variable universal life insurance policies on a
renewable term basis, which are reported below as Non-Universal Life-Type
Agreements and, as such, these revenues are classified as premium revenue.
Renewable term reinsurance involves the reinsurance of mortality risk whereby
premiums are not directly related to the premium rates on the original plan of
insurance. Global Preferreds renewable term agreements are accounted for
under SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises,
accounting principles. Global Preferred reinsures variable annuity contracts
and certain other variable universal life insurance policies on a coinsurance
and modified coinsurance basis, which are reported below as Universal Life-Type
Agreements and, as such, these revenues are classified as reinsured policy
revenues. Coinsurance involves the reinsurance of mortality and investment
risks on the same basis as that of the underlying policies. The ceding life
companies and Global Preferred share in these risks on a pro rata basis.
Global Preferreds existing coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreements are
accounted for under SFAS No. 97 accounting principles.

Items not directly related to the business segments and unallocated
corporate items (i.e., other income, interest expense on corporate debt and
unallocated operating expenses) are shown separately, consistent with Global
Preferreds internal measurement process. Segment assets reported include
those assets directly attributable to the reinsurance agreements such as
reinsurance balances receivable, deferred acquisition costs, policy loans,
prepaid expenses, invested assets and cash. Cash and invested assets are
allocated to the agreements based upon statutory reserves, the letters of
credit posted in support of the statutory reserves held, statutory receivables
and allocated surplus, which is consistent with Global Preferreds current
internal measurement process.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (MD&A) addresses the financial condition of Global Preferred
Holdings, Inc. as of June 30, 2003 compared with December 31, 2002, and its
results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003,
compared with the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report and with
the MD&A and Global Preferreds consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in Global Preferreds 2002 Annual Report onForm 10-K.

Overview

Global Preferred Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1995 as a
holding company, owning all of the outstanding capital stock of Global
Preferred Re Limited, a Bermuda company registered as a long-term insurer under
the Bermuda Insurance Act 1978 (Global Preferred Re). Global Preferred Re,
formed during 1995, commenced its reinsurance operations during 1996. During
the first quarter of 2003, Global Preferred formed two additional wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Global Preferred Solutions, Inc. and Global Preferred Resources,
Inc. References in this report to Global Preferred, we, us, our and
our company refer to Global Preferred Holdings, Inc. and, unless the context
otherwise requires or otherwise as expressly stated, our subsidiaries, Global
Preferred Solutions, Global Preferred Resources and Global Preferred Re.

Global Preferred, through its subsidiaries, provides reinsurance for life
insurance and annuity products as well as related consulting and management
services, which seek to align the long-term interests between independent
marketing organizations and life insurance companies by:



| |  | Providing actuarial and management advisory services to marketing
organizations and life insurers to aid clients in their assessment of
the strategic and structural benefits of sharing the economics of the
business produced through their distributor-insurer relationships;
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Providing a management support structure to leverage core
competencies and provide economies of scale to marketing organizations,
banks, broker/dealers, and insurance companies who are considering the
formation of, or have formed, a producer-owned reinsurance enterprise;
and
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Providing a reinsurance platform to marketing organizations that
permits the members of the marketing organization and Global
Preferred, either directly or indirectly,
to share in a portion of the business reinsured for the benefit of the
independent marketing organization, thus aligning Global Preferreds
interests with the interests of the marketing organization.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An independent marketing organization (IMO) is an organization of
independent agents that contracts with one or more insurance companies to
distribute and market securities and insurance products. Through these
collaborative relationships, we believe both the IMOs and insurers benefit from
mutually rewarding relationships based on parallel interests, a dedication to
quality business, and a focus on managing insurance and distribution risk for
long-term economic rewards.

Our in force business has resulted from a relationship with the
independent agents of an IMO member of the AEGON Group that markets the
products we currently reinsure. Although our reinsurance business is directed
to us through these independent agent relationships, the life insurance and
annuity policies that we currently reinsure are underwritten and issued by
various ceding life companies. In the insurance industry, the term ceding
refers to the use of reinsurance to transfer from one insurance company to
another some or all of the risks associated with one or more insurance
policies. We often refer to the life insurance companies that reinsure life
insurance and annuity policies through us as the ceding life companies. The
ceding life companies who issue the policies we reinsure are:



| |  | Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio, a subsidiary of AEGON
USA, Inc. (Western Reserve);
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | American Skandia Life Assurance Corporation, a subsidiary of
Prudential Financial, Inc. (American Skandia);
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Pacific Life Insurance Company (Pacific Life); and
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  | Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company, an affiliate of Zurich Insurance Company (Zurich Life).
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under a reinsurance agreement, the economic consequences of certain
insurance risks are transferred from the ceding life company to the reinsurer.
Depending upon the type of reinsurance agreement, these risks may include
mortality, persistency, investment and expense. Key considerations in
evaluating the risks include industry experience, the ceding life companys
pricing and assumptions, the type of product, the ceding life companys
underwriting practices and procedures, the type of distribution system, the
ceding life companys recent experience, and the market for the product.

The ceding life companies retain responsibility for the payment of all
claims, surrender values, commissions, and expenses involved in issuing and
maintaining the policies we reinsure. In addition, the ceding life companies
administer the reinsurance contracts and, on a monthly and quarterly basis,
provide us with information regarding premiums, reserves and benefits and the
amounts we owe to the ceding life company for claims and settlement expenses on
the policies we reinsure.

Types of Reinsurance

We currently write three types of reinsurance on a quota share basis:
renewable term (consisting of monthly renewable term and yearly renewable
term), coinsurance and modified coinsurance.

Renewable Term.Renewable term, also referred to as risk premium
reinsurance, which includes monthly renewable term and yearly renewable term,
is a plan of reinsurance in which the premium rates are not directly related to
the premium rates on the original plan of insurance. Under renewable term
reinsurance, the ceding life company reinsures a portion of the mortality risk
with us. The amount reinsured in any one period is not based on the face amount
of the policy, but rather on the portion of the net amount of risk we reinsure.
The net amount of risk is typically defined as the difference between the death
benefit and the cash value of a policy. The ceding life company establishes
the policy reserves, which are reduced for the mortality risk reinsured with
us, and pays all policy benefits, commissions and expenses involved in issuing
and maintaining the business and, correspondingly, we establish reserves
specific to the mortality risk reinsured.

Under renewable term reinsurance, we may also be subject to risks as a
result of persistency risk. Persistency risk is the risk that a policyholder
either stops paying premiums, which would cause the policy to lapse, or chooses
to surrender the policy for the cash surrender value. The effect of
persistency risk on us is that possible future revenue will be reduced,
potentially reducing profits.

Coinsurance.Under a coinsurance arrangement, the insured risks are ceded
to us on essentially the same basis as underwritten by the ceding life company.
The ceded risks include mortality, persistency, investment, and expense. We
share the risks pro rata with the ceding life company. We receive a
proportionate share of gross premiums from the ceding life company and provide
contractual expense allowances to the ceding life company to pay for the
expenses associated with the reinsured policies. Expenses include commissions
and costs associated with underwriting, marketing, policy issue, and
maintenance. We also pay our proportionate share of death benefits and other
policy benefits to the ceding life company. The reserves on the ceded portion
of the policy are held by us and are our obligations. Correspondingly, we
invest the assets related to the reserves and receive investment income from
those assets.

Modified Coinsurance.Modified coinsurance is similar to coinsurance
except the ceding life company retains the reserves and the assets related to
the reserves. Modified coinsurance is used primarily for products that develop
cash values and allows the ceding life company to retain the associated assets
for investment purposes.

Under coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreements, our reinsurance
premiums are materially higher than premiums paid on the renewable term
reinsurance since we are reinsuring more risks. During the first year in which
a policy is reinsured on a coinsurance or modified coinsurance basis, we are
required to reimburse the ceding life company for our share of acquisition
costs, including first year commissions and issuance expenses. Consequently,
our net cash outlays could be as much as, or more than, the first year life
insurance premiums and as much as 10% of annuity premiums. In year two and
beyond, however, our cash outlays for reinsurance allowances are significantly
lower than in the first year of a policy.

Financial Statement Impact of Reinsurance

The Securities and Exchange Commissions Financial Reporting Release No.
60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting
policies used in the preparation of financial statements. Additional
information included elsewhere herein and in Note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended
December 31, 2002, includes a summary of the accounting policies used in
the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Income Statement Impact

Reinsurance Revenues.For renewable term reinsurance, we record as
premiums the amount of reinsurance premiums we receive over the payment
periods of the reinsured policies. For policies reinsured on a coinsurance or
modified coinsurance basis, we record as reinsured policy revenues our
proportionate share of the gross revenues received by the ceding life company
over the period of time that we reinsure the policies. These revenues represent
the policy mortality and expense charges, asset-based allowances and deferred
sales charges that have been assessed against the reinsured policy account
balances.

Reinsurance Expenses.Regardless of the type of reinsurance, our related
expenses may include: (1) benefits, claims and settlement expenses, which
represent our share of the payments made under the reinsured policies during
the period, the change in claims in course of settlement, and the change in
claims incurred but not reported; (2) expense allowances paid to the ceding
life company for expenses associated with the reinsured policies, including
commissions and costs associated with underwriting, marketing, policy issue and
maintenance; and (3) amortization of deferred acquisition costs, which are
discussed in more detail below.

Net Income.Our profitability, in part, depends on the volume of policies
reinsured and experience of the reinsured policies. Factors that affect the
experience of the business include reinsured policy persistency, death claims,
and investment performance of the separate account balances. While death
claims are reasonably predictable over a period of years, claims become less
predictable over shorter periods, and are subject to fluctuation from quarter
to quarter and year to year. Similarly, separate account investment returns,
upon which a portion of our revenues depend, have relatively stable returns
over a period of years but can be volatile over shorter periods. A
considerable amount of separate account balances is invested in equities;
therefore, prolonged deterioration in the equity markets will result in a
decrease in account balances and, correspondingly, a decrease in our current
and future income.

Balance Sheet Impact

Deferred Acquisition Costs.We capitalize and defer costs that vary with
and are primarily related to the acquisition of the reinsured policies. These
expenses are deferred to the extent that such costs are deemed recoverable from
future policy revenues and are recorded as deferred acquisition costs on the
balance sheet. Such costs include reinsurance expense allowances paid to ceding
life companies, and may include other underwriting costs such as actuarial,
legal and accounting fees.

Deferred acquisition costs are amortized over the lives of the underlying
policies, in conformity with the terms of the reinsurance agreement. Under the
renewable term agreements, the rate of amortization is based upon assumptions
applicable at the time the policies are reinsured, such as estimates of
expected investment yields, mortality, persistency and expenses. The
amortization is in proportion to the ratio of premiums collected during the
then current period to total anticipated premiums and is adjusted to reflect
actual persistency of the insurance in effect. To the extent fewer policies
persist than otherwise anticipated, the amortization will be greater.
Conversely, to the extent more policies persist than otherwise anticipated, the
amortization will be smaller.

Under the coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreements, the
amortization of the deferred acquisition costs is in proportion to the ratio of
gross profits recognized during the then current period to total anticipated
future gross profits. During each accounting period, assumptions used in
calculating the amortization of the deferred acquisition expense reflect actual
experience for the then current accounting period. We also review, on a
periodic basis, our evolving experience with regard to our assumptions
concerning future experience as to mortality, persistency, investment yields,
and expenses in determining our estimate of anticipated future gross profits.
This periodic review is commonly referred to as unlocking. Our normal period
of observation is from October 1 of the previous calendar year through

15



---



##### Table of Contents



September 30 of the current calendar year. If we believe variances from
expected assumptions are other than temporary, we will change the assumptions
we use with regard to future experience. Upon adoption of any change in
assumptions used with regard to future experience, the amortization of the
deferred acquisition cost will be recalculated and reflected during the then
current accounting period.

A material component of variable life and annuity product revenues is
derived from the asset-based fees that have been assessed against the policy
account balances, of which a considerable portion is invested in the equity
markets. The volatility of equity market returns over the short-term can be
significant without materially impacting long-term equity market returns.
Historical equity market performance shows equity market volatility is much
higher over short-term horizons as compared to long-term horizons. The
short-term volatility of the policy fund value will result in the short-term
volatility being applied to all future expected gross profits if no adjustments
are made to account for the differences between long-term and short-term
volatility. We utilize a credibility approach to account for the differences
between long-term and short-term volatility. Under this approach, the
estimates of future expected gross profits are revised to recognize the effects
short-term volatility and market yields have upon long-term yield expectations.
We review our approach annually to determine if additional adjustments to
amortization are necessary as a result of prolonged and/or severe negative or
positive equity market performance. In such instances, the equity market
performance must be sufficiently high or low to justify a belief that the
effect of current market conditions on future expected gross profits should be
more permanently reflected.

In addition, certain variable annuity policies we reinsure include a
guaranteed minimum death benefit that will guarantee a death benefit typically
equal to a return of premium or the highest level the fund values had
accumulated over certain prescribed periods under the annuity policy. These
policies represent less than 10% of our revenues. Upon the death of an annuity
policyholder, we will incur a claims expense equal to the excess of the amount
guaranteed under this provision over the then current policy fund value. This
expense increases when equity markets decline and decreases as equity markets
increase. We utilize an implicit approach to account for guaranteed minimum
death benefits. Under this approach, future expected gross profits are
decreased to account for future expected claims expenses. The short-term
volatility of the policy fund value will result in significant volatility in
the expected claims expense if no recognition is made to acknowledge
differences between long-term yields and short-term volatility. Using a
credibility approach, we implicitly recognize the effect of long-term versus
short-term volatility when accounting for guaranteed minimum death benefits.

Future Policy Benefits.Liabilities for future benefits on life insurance
policies are established in an amount we estimate is adequate to meet the
estimated future obligations on the policies in effect. Policy reserves are
included in future policy benefits on the consolidated balance sheet.

Liabilities for future policy benefits under the renewable term agreements
include provisions for claims in the course of settlement, claims incurred but
not reported, and expected future claims. The liability is estimated using
assumptions such as estimates of expected investment yields, mortality,
persistency and expenses applicable at the time the reinsurance contracts are
executed.

Liabilities for future policy benefits under coinsurance and modified
coinsurance agreements equal reinsured policy account balances on the
underlying life insurance and annuity policies. With regard to the separate
account benefits reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis, we record the
liabilities as an offset to related assets as our intentions and rights under
the agreements with the ceding life companies meet the appropriate conditions
governing rights of setoff. Separate account benefits and related assets
reinsured on a modified coinsurance basis total $260.1 million as of June 30,
2003. The nature of separate account benefits under variable life insurance or
variable annuity policies do not permit us to reinsure those benefits on a
coinsurance basis. We currently reinsure the fixed account portion of life
insurance and annuity policies only on a coinsurance basis and, accordingly,
the liabilities for that portion of the reinsurance are recorded as future
policy benefits.

Liabilities for future policy benefits reflected in the consolidated
financial statements are based on information provided to us by the ceding life
companies. Reserves established by us with respect to individual risks or
classes of business may not be the same as those established by ceding life
companies due to differing risks and assumptions regarding mortality,
persistency, investment, and expenses.

##### Table of Contents



Fair Value Disclosure

Investments.We classify all fixed maturity securities and equity
securities as available-for-sale. Such securities are reported at fair value.
Fixed maturity securities available-for-sale are so classified based upon the
possibility that such securities could be sold prior to maturity if that action
enables us to execute our investment philosophy and appropriately match
investment results to operating and liquidity needs. Unrealized gains and
losses on marketable equity securities and fixed maturity securities
available-for-sale, less applicable deferred income taxes, are reported as a
separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within
stockholders equity.

Investment income is recognized as it accrues or becomes legally due.
Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are included in income, as are
write-downs of securities where declines in value are deemed to be other than
temporary. The cost of investment securities sold is determined based upon the
specific identification method.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities.The carrying value of cash and
cash equivalents, reinsurance receivables and payables, short-term debt,
accrued expenses and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the
short-term nature of these accounts.

Reinsurance Relationships

Current Reinsurance Business

We currently provide reinsurance for variable universal life and variable
annuity policies issued by four large life insurance companies. Our
reinsurance agreements with these ceding life companies provide for our
assumption of a portion of defined risks associated with specified products
sold by certain independent agents with which we have a relationship.
Reinsurance under these agreements is automatic, meaning we are required to
accept the business ceded to us so long as the ceding life companies satisfy
the terms of the reinsurance agreements.

The following table indicates, by ceding life company, the types of
policies we are currently reinsuring and the type of reinsurance applicable to
each.

We have four separate reinsurance agreements with Western Reserve that
cover variable universal life insurance and variable annuity policies issued by
Western Reserve on or after January 1, 1992, which are sold by independent
agents of an IMO member of the AEGON Group. These agreements were entered into
on July 1, 1996, January 1, 1998, April 1, 1998, and October 1, 1999,
respectively. The agreement with American Skandia began on January 1, 1997 and
covers policies on an American Skandia variable annuity product issued between
January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2002 sold by those same agents. The Zurich
Kemper agreement was effective September 1, 1996 and covers all policies on a
Kemper variable universal life product issued between September 1, 1996 and
March 31, 2001 sold by those agents. Our agreement with Pacific Life was
signed on June 25, 2001 and covers policies on a variable universal life
product issued on or after January 1, 2001, sold by those agents.

We believe that the terms of our reinsurance arrangements are favorable
for our industry and that we were able to obtain these terms in part because of
our relationships with the agents that sell the policies we reinsure. Our
right to reinsure new business under our reinsurance agreements generally
extends for an initial term of 3 to 5 years, with automatic renewals and
one-year notices of termination following the initial term. Termination of our
right to reinsure new business does not, however, affect our right to continue
to reinsure the policies reinsured at the time of termination. Under our
agreements, we have the right to continue to reinsure a policy for as long as
it remains in effect or until the ceding life company otherwise recaptures it.
A ceding life company may have the right to recapture a reinsured policy only
upon certain defaults or after a period of 10 years or longer, depending on the
terms of the relevant reinsurance agreement.

Rights to Increase Business under Existing Contracts

Reinsurance of In Force Business and New Business with Western Reserve.
In June 2001, we entered into a First Right Agreement with Western Reserve that
provides us a first right to reinsure certain new products issued by Western
Reserve or its U.S. affiliates that are sold by independent agents of an IMO
member of the AEGON Group, as follows:



| |  | We have the contractual right, through December 31, 2003, to commence
reinsurance of the Freedom Elite Builder variable universal life insurance polices and riders issued
by Western Reserve from January 1, 2002 through
December 31, 2002; and
through March 31, 2004, to commence reinsurance of the Freedom Elite
Builder or any subsequently introduced single life variable universal
life insurance policies and riders issued by Western Reserve from
January 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004, up to 20% on a coinsurance and
modified coinsurance basis.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We also have the right, through March 31, 2006, to prospectively
reinsure on a monthly renewable term basis up to 20% of all new single
life variable universal life insurance policies issued
after January 1, 2002.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | We have the contractual right to prospectively increase our
reinsurance quota share percentages, up to a maximum ranging from 40% to
50%, on certain new variable annuity products issued through December
31, 2003.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | These rights, which are subject to minimum sales volume thresholds,
automatically extend for one-year renewal periods unless either party
gives notice of termination 180 days prior to the expiration of the
applicable term. Our decision to exercise these contractual rights will
be made from time to time during the term of the First Right Agreement
and such decisions will be based on a number of relevant factors,
including the attractiveness of the reinsurance rates prescribed by the
agreement, the volume of business, and our available capital capacity.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reinsurance of New Business with Other Insurance Companies

We intend to enter into reinsurance agreements with other insurance
companies from time to time and such decisions will be based on a number of
relevant factors, including the attractiveness of the reinsurance rates
prescribed by the agreement, the volume of business, our relationship with the
insurance company, our relationship with the IMO, and our available capital
capacity.

We intend to enter into agreements with other IMOs similar to a directed
reinsurance agreement we currently have with an IMO member of the AEGON Group,
pursuant to which the IMO has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to
assist us in attaining the opportunity to reinsure all insurance products sold
by its agents for insurance companies with which it has selling agreements,
other than Western Reserve and Western Reserves affiliates. Additionally, the
agreement provides that the IMO will use commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate with us in our negotiations to establish reinsurance relationships
with life insurance companies and provide certain benefits to the companies
that reinsure their business through us.

either a renewable term basis or a coinsurance and modified coinsurance basis.
The policies we reinsure on a renewable term basis represented 57% of our
reinsurance revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003. The policies
we reinsure on a coinsurance and modified coinsurance basis represented 43% of
our reinsurance revenues for the same period. Of the 43%, 26% relates to
variable life insurance policies and 17% relates to variable annuity policies.

Revenues

Premiums.Premiums decreased $169,000, or 4%, and $338,000, or 4%, for
the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to
the same periods in 2002. The majority of the premium decrease was due to the
decreasing business in force under the renewable term agreements. Policies in
force are decreasing because the number of policy surrenders and lapses
currently exceed the number of new policies reinsured.

Reinsured Policy Revenues.Reinsured policy revenues decreased $301,000,
or 8%, and $665,000, or 9%, for the quarter and the six months ended June 30,
2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002. This decrease was
primarily attributable to revenues associated with our variable annuity
coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreements, which declined from $1.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $1.3 million for the same
period in 2003, a decrease of $314,000, or 19%. This was partially offset by
an increase in revenues of $13,000 from variable universal life business.
Decreasing revenues for variable annuity business has resulted from a decline
in mortality and expense charges and asset-based allowances associated with
lower account values, due to the decline in the equity markets and policy
surrenders.

Net Investment Income and Net Realized Gain on Investments.Net
investment income decreased $100,000, or 53%, and $231,000, or 58%, for the
quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 2002, primarily due to the decreased size of our fixed maturity
securities portfolio. The decrease in our fixed maturity securities portfolio
resulted from the sale of $9.9 million of fixed maturity securities in 2002,
with the majority being sold in December 2002. The proceeds from these sales
were held in cash and cash equivalents. There were no sales of fixed maturity
securities for the six months ended June 30, 2003, thus no gains or losses were
realized. The sale of fixed maturity securities for the six months ended June
30, 2002 resulted in a net realized gain on investments of $7,000. The gains
in 2002 were caused by a decline in market yields, which resulted in an
increase in the fair value of the fixed maturity securities in our portfolio.

Benefits and Expenses

Benefits, Claims and Settlement Expenses.Benefits, claims and settlement
expenses decreased $183,000, or 7%, and increased $59,000, or 1%, for the
quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 2002. The decrease was due to a decrease in the incidence of
death claims and the declining aggregate face value of insurance partially
offset by the increasing age of the policies reinsured. The increase was
primarily associated with an increase in the average death claim size and the
increasing age of the policies reinsured partially offset by a decline in the
aggregate face value of insurance. The aggregate face value of insurance
underlying the policies we reinsured at June 30, 2002 was $9.0 billion compared
to $8.0 billion at June 30, 2003.

Change in Future Policy Benefits.Change in future policy benefits
decreased $214,000, or 52%, and $351,000, or 41%, for the quarter and the six
months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002.
The decrease resulted from a reduction in new policies reinsured on a monthly
renewable term basis beginning in 2003.

Reinsurance Expense Allowances, Net.Net reinsurance expense allowances
decreased $42,000, or 2%, and $178,000, or 4%, for the quarter and the six
months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002.
These amounts reflect the decrease in business in force due to policy lapse
and surrender activity and the decline in the equity markets.

Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs.Amortization of deferred
acquisition costs increased $209,000, or 20%, and $466,000, or 21%, for the
quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 2002. The increase in amortization primarily resulted from
lower fund based revenues and lower death claims associated with the
variable universal life coinsurance and modified coinsurance
business, which was partially offset by certain refinements to
estimated future gross profits.

Under current assumptions, and all else being equal, if separate account
fund yields exceed 5% for 2003, we do not expect that there would be increased
amortization in 2003 from unlocking due to lower than expected equity market
performance. If separate account fund yields are 0% for 2003 we would expect
additional amortization of approximately $500,000 for 2003 from unlocking due
to lower than expected equity market performance.

Operating Expenses.Operating expenses increased $251,000, or 36%, and
$400,000, or 28%, for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002. These expenses include
salaries and benefits, professional fees for legal, actuarial and accounting
expenses and other operating expenses. The majority of the increase for the
quarter ended June 30, 2003 was attributable to increases in our directors and
officers insurance premiums, legal fees, rent expense, consulting fees and
Delaware franchise taxes, offset by a decrease in salaries, bonuses and
benefits due to a reduction in employee bonuses and a reduction in staffing.

Interest Expense.Interest expense decreased $3,000, or 4%, and $5,000,
or 3%, for the quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 2002. The decrease was due to the interest
associated with the $7.2 million settlement paid to Western Reserve on April 2,
2002 to fund the reinsurance amendments that were effective January 1, 2002.

Income Taxes.Due to lower levels of income before income taxes, income
taxes decreased $194,000, or 46%, and $550,000, or 54%, for the quarter and the
six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2002. Income before income taxes is comprised of income subject to taxes that
is recognized and due in the current period and income subject to taxes that is
recognized during the current period but is due in future periods. The small
life insurance company deduction available under Section 806 of the Internal
Revenue Code for qualifying life insurance companies can reduce the effective
federal income tax rate from 34% to less than 20% depending upon the amount of
current taxable income. As of June 30, 2002 and 2003, we had no current
taxable income and, as a result, we were unable to take advantage of any of the
small life insurance company deduction. As of June 30, 2003, however, we were
subject to alternative minimum tax. During 2002 and 2003 our effective tax
rate was 34%.

In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, we have $6.5
million of net operating loss carryforwards, which begin to expire in 2018.
These net operating loss carryforwards at a 34% effective tax rate are included
as an offset to the deferred tax liability. It is our belief that it is more
likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized as an offset
against future taxable income, however, if we do not have sufficient taxable
income in the future to utilize this asset, a write-off may result, thereby
reducing our net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To grow our life and annuity business, we use cash to pay for the initial
marketing and underwriting expenses of the policies we reinsure. These same
policies thereafter provide cash from premiums, policy charges and policy fees
over their lifetime. We also use cash to pay for policy claims, policy benefits
and operating expenses which include: salaries and benefits, and professional
fees for management, legal, investment, custodial, accounting, tax and
consulting services. In addition to operating cash flows, cash is provided by
and used in financing activities we undertake to increase our capital position
and through activities associated with our invested assets.

Our primary source of liquidity was $22.1 million in consolidated cash and
cash equivalents at June 30, 2003. The effective duration of our fixed maturity
portfolio is 1.3 years with 100% of the fixed maturity securities having an
effective maturity of less than 5 years. Our fixed maturity portfolio
represents all of our invested assets, and has an average Moodys quality
rating of Aa3.

Our capital structure consists of long-term debt and equity. Our long-term
debt is comprised of a $5 million, five-year convertible term note to Money
Services, Inc. due on July 29, 2004. Money Services is a subsidiary of AEGON
USA, Inc. Proceeds of this note were used to reduce a portion of the
outstanding principal balance on a line of credit with Money Services from $10
million to $5 million. Interest is payable on the note at 7.5% per annum
(except in the event of redemption), on the 29th of each succeeding January and
July through and including July 29, 2004. Money Services has the right to
convert the outstanding principal balance of this note into common stock at any
time. Upon conversion, Money Services would receive 6.255 shares of common
stock for each $100 of the outstanding principal amount of the note, for a
total of 312,750 shares, which reflects our three-for-two stock split in 2001.
We have the option to redeem the note, in whole or in part, before maturity.
To redeem the note before maturity, we must pay all principal, plus interest
accrued from the date of the note through the redemption date at a higher
effective interest rate of 9% per annum. As of June 30, 2003, we had an
outstanding principal balance on the term note of $5 million and accrued
interest of $156,678.

Operating Cash Flows.Under the renewable term reinsurance agreements,
premiums typically vary in proportion with the expected mortality claims
reinsured. Our cash inflows under the renewable term agreements are premiums
for the mortality risk reinsured. Our cash outflows are reinsurance expense
allowances and death benefit claims. The reinsurance expense allowances
represent our share of acquisition and maintenance expenses incurred by the
ceding life company that are attributable to the risks reinsured by us.

Under the coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreements, since we are
reinsuring risks on essentially the same basis as that of the original policy,
reinsurance premiums are materially greater than premiums received on the
renewable term reinsurance. During the first year in which a policy is
reinsured on a coinsurance basis, we are required to reimburse the ceding life
company for our share of acquisition costs, including first year commissions
and issuance expenses. Thereafter, we reimburse the ceding life company for our
share of renewal commissions and maintenance expenses. Further, under modified
coinsurance, we allow the ceding life company to retain assets related to
reserves in support of reinsured policy benefits (e.g., cash values).
Accordingly, because of the type of reinsurance and the basis reinsured, the
net first year cash outlays could be as much as, or more than, that years
premiums paid for variable universal life insurance, and as much as 10% of
variable annuity premiums. In year two and beyond, however, our cash outlays
for reinsurance allowances are significantly lower than in the first year of a
policy.

Net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities were ($2.9
million) and $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003,
respectively. Changes in cash provided by operating activities primarily
relate to: amounts of reinsurance premiums and policy revenues received;
claims, reinsurance expense allowances and operating expenses paid; and changes
in working capital. Cash flows were used in operating activities in 2002
primarily because of the $7.2 million settlement paid to Western Reserve to
fund the reinsurance amendments. Cash flows provided by operating activities
increased in 2003 because we utilized less cash to acquire new reinsurance
business.

At this time we are exploring financing strategies to fund transactions to
assume new business. The amount, timing, receipt and cost of additional capital
will, in part, determine the extent to which we will be able to increase
business reinsured.

Investment Cash Flows.We generally receive premiums in advance of paying
related benefits and claims. In addition, some policies we reinsure require
that we credit interest on funds that are deposited with us. We invest these
assets in securities that will provide a return and cash flow stream that are
consistent with these benefits. Investment cash flows are the result of buying,
selling and holding these securities in addition to activities relating to
buying and selling fixed assets.

Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were $918,000
and ($391,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
The cash flows used in 2003 were the result of the purchase of $1.1 million of
available-for-sale securities offset by the maturities and principal payments
from available-for-sale securities of $664,000. The cash flows provided in
2002 were the result of maturities, principal payments and sales of
available-for-sale securities of $2.0 million offset by the purchase of $1.0
million of available-for-sale securities and fixed assets. We have incurred no
significant capital expenditures during 2003.

Financing Cash Flows.Net cash flows used in financing activities were
$1.6 million for the six months ending June 30, 2002. Changes in cash used in
financing activities in 2002 related to the cash paid for activities related to
the public offering (deferred offering costs), which were recorded as prepaid
expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. No financing activities occurred
during the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Restrictions.Global Preferred Holdings, Inc. is a holding company with
no direct operations, and whose principal assets are the capital stock of
Global Preferred Re and $3.2 million of cash and invested assets, as of June
30, 2003. Global Preferred Holdings, Inc. relies primarily on funds retained
at the holding company level, debt service on amounts loaned to Global
Preferred Re, service fees and potential dividends from Global Preferred Re to
meet ongoing cash requirements. The ability of Global Preferred Re to pay
dividends to Global Preferred Holdings, Inc. is subject to, among other things,
regulatory restrictions under the insurance laws of Bermuda. During the six
months ended June 30, 2003, Global Preferred Re paid no dividends to Global
Preferred Holdings, Inc. Global Preferred Re must also maintain the required
minimum solvency margin of $250,000 as a long-term insurer in Bermuda.

Under our reinsurance agreements, we are required to provide security
through a letter of credit for the benefit of the ceding life companies. We
have three letters of credit issued by Comerica Bank, our custodian, for the
benefit of Western Reserve, Pacific Life and Zurich Life, in the amounts of
$5.5 million, $50,000 and $300,000, respectively. We assess our letter of
credit needs in support of each reinsurance agreement. If determined to be
necessary, we will undertake to develop facilities for future letters of credit
and trust arrangements in support of additional reinsurance agreements.

Forward-Looking Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use
of estimates and assumptions developed by our management. Any adjustments to
reported bases of assets or liabilities resulting from changes in estimates are
reflected in earnings in the period the estimates are revised.

Certain statements made in this report are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
are subject to the safe-harbor provisions of that Act. Additionally, any
written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include
forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to
future events and financial performance. These statements may include, but are
not limited to statements relating to reinsurance revenues, gross profits, cash
flows, and net income in future periods. Such statements often include the
words believes, expects, assumes, predicts, continue, potential,
should, could, can, may, will, proposes, anticipates, intends,
plans, estimates, projects, and variations or negations of such
expressions or similar expressions. When we make forward-looking statements, we
are basing them on our managements beliefs and assumptions, using information
currently available to us. Because such forward-looking statements involve
risks, both known and unknown, and uncertainties, there are important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:



| |  | Extent to which we are able to develop new reinsurance programs;

events or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKWe seek to earn a favorable risk-adjusted total return on our assets by
engaging in an investment strategy that employs strategies to manage investment
risk. We attempt to maintain adequate liquidity in our fixed income portfolio
to fund operations and protect against unexpected events. We have diversified
our portfolio to reduce volatility. We seek to manage our credit risk through
industry and issuer diversification, and interest rate risk by monitoring the
duration and structure of our investment portfolio relative to the duration and
structure of our liability portfolio. We are exposed to potential loss from
various market risks, primarily changes in interest rates and equity prices.
Accordingly, earnings would be affected by these changes. We manage our market
risk based on investment policies approved by our board of directors.We do not directly control the allocation of our assets to strategies or
underlying funds, nor do we control the manner in which they are invested by
underlying fund managers. We utilize an independent investment manager to
invest our assets in accordance with our investment guidelines. Conning Asset
Management Inc., a subsidiary of Swiss Reinsurance Company, has been our
investment manager since June 1998. Conning has discretionary authority to
manage our non-cash investment portfolio. As a result, the performance of our
aggregate investment portfolio depends largely on the ability of Conning to
select and manage appropriate investments. However, we consistently and
systematically monitor the strategies and funds in which we are invested, and
we believe our overall risk is limited as a result of our selected strategy.Our investment portfolio includes investments that are subject to changes
in market values due to changes in interest rates. The impact on our
investment portfolio from an immediate 100 basis point increase in market
interest rates would have resulted in an estimated decrease in fair value of
0.6%, or approximately $143,000, on a portfolio valued at approximately $24.4
million at June 30, 2003. The impact on our investment portfolio from an
immediate 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would have resulted
in an estimated increase in fair value of 0.6%, or approximately $155,000. The
foregoing reflects the use of an immediate time horizon. Credit spreads are
assumed to remain constant in these hypothetical examples.24Table of Contents
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESAs of the most recent fiscal quarter end, we carried out an evaluation of
the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule
13a-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) under the supervision and
with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer. Based on and as of the date of such evaluation, the aforementioned
officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective, in all material aspects, to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required.There were no significant changes in our internal controls or other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer carried out their
evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses
identified in the evaluation and, therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
