See Managements and Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Forward-Looking Statements.  General Development of Business  Regan Holding Corp. (Regan Holding) is a holding company, incorporated in the State of California in 1990, whose primary operating subsidiary is Legacy Marketing Group (Legacy Marketing).  Legacy Marketing designs and markets fixed annuity products on behalf of certain unaffiliated insurance carriers in each of the United States, except Alabama and New York.  The Company and The Legacy Alliance Inc. (Legacy Alliance), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 1, 2009, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 29, 2010 (as amended, the Merger Agreement).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with a Delaware corporation, Legacy Alliance, with Legacy Alliance surviving the merger (the Reorganization).  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, any shareholder who is the record holder of less than 4,500 shares of Regan Series A Common Stock and/or Regan Series B Common Stock (together, Regan Common Stock) will receive $0.10 in cash in exchange for each share of Regan Common Stock that he or she owns, and any shareholder who is the record holder of 4,500 or more shares of Regan Common Stock will receive one share of Legacy Alliance common stock (Legacy Alliance Common Stock) for each block of 4,500 shares of Regan Common Stock that he or she owns and $0.10 in cash per share for any remaining shares of Regan Common Stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Legacy Alliance Common Stock.  All stock options or other rights to acquire shares of Regan Common Stock held by Regan shareholders prior to the effective time of the Reorganization, including any that are unvested, will be vested pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and if unexercised prior to the effective time of the Reorganization, will terminate.  On February 24, 2010, following a public hearing, the California Department of Corporations certified that the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of the securities in the proposed Reorganization Plan were fair and were approved. In addition, a qualification by permit for the offer and sale of such securities was issued to Legacy Alliance.  On March 30, 2010, the Company mailed a notice of special meeting of shareholders to be held on April 20, 2010 along with a proxy statement for solicitation of shareholder approval of the Reorganization.  Legacy Marketings primary marketing agreements are with American National Insurance Company (American National), Investors Insurance Corporation (Investors Insurance), and OM Financial Life Insurance Company/Americom Life (OM Financial (Americom)). The marketing agreements grant Legacy Marketing the exclusive right to market certain proprietary fixed annuity products issued by these insurance carriers.   An annuity is a contract in which an insurance company makes a series of income payments at regular intervals in return for a premium that a policyholder has paid. Annuities are most often bought for future retirement income. Under the terms of these agreements, Legacy Marketing is responsible for recruiting independent insurance agents (who we refer to as Producers), who have contracted with Legacy Marketing to sell fixed annuity products, and are appointed with the applicable insurance carrier.  For these sales, the insurance carriers pay marketing allowances and commissions to Legacy Marketing based on the premium amount of insurance policies placed inforce.  Legacy Marketing is responsible for paying sales commissions to the Producers.  Legacy Marketing sells fixed annuity products through a network of Producers.Each Producer has entered into a non-exclusive agreement with Legacy Marketing, which defines the parties business relationship.  Such agreements typically may be terminated by either party with or without cause or prior notice.  Legacy Marketings sales network is built on a multi-level structure in which Producers may recruit other Producers.  Recruited Producers are referred to as downline Producers within the original Producers network. Recruited Producers may also recruit other Producers, creating a hierarchy under the original Producer.  The standard Producer contract contains a nine-level design in which a Producer may advance from one level to the next based on sales commission amounts earned or the size of the Producers downline network.  As a Producer advances to higher levels within the system, he/she receives higher commissions on sales made through his/her downline network.  This creates a financial incentive for Producers to build a hierarchy of downline Producers, which contributes to their financial growth and to the growth of Legacy Marketing.  If a Producer leaves the network, his/her downline Producers can still remain contracted with Legacy Marketing and receive sales commissions.  Advancements to higher levels can occur as often as every three months. Producers at the highest levels are called Wholesalers.  1    Legacy Marketing provides tools and services that assist Wholesalers with recruiting, training, managing, and support responsibilities associated with the Producers in their hierarchy.  In addition, Legacy Marketing assists Producers with programs designed to increase their sales and better serve their clients.  Recruiting and training programs include visual presentations, informational videos and seminars, and advertising material guidelines.  Legacy Marketing also produces product information, sales brochures, pre-approved advertisements and recruiting materials.  Legacy Marketing works closely with the insurance carriers in product design and development. Legacy Marketings actuarial and marketing departments work with the insurance carriers to design proprietary fixed annuity products to be marketed by Legacy Marketing. All of these products include guarantees for the benefit of policyholders and are guaranteed by the issuing insurance carriers. These guarantees generally include:  a contractually guaranteed minimum interest rate; and  the ability to allocate among various crediting rate strategies. The marketing agreements allow Legacy Marketing to enter into similar arrangements with other insurance carriers.  The marketing agreement with American National expires on November 15, 2010, and may be renewed by mutual agreement for successive one-year terms.  The agreement may be terminated by either party upon twelve months prior written notice without cause, and may be terminated by either party immediately for cause.  The marketing agreement with Investors Insurance expires on March 31, 2011, and will be renewed automatically for successive one-year terms unless terminated earlier by either party upon twelve months prior written notice without cause.  The marketing agreement with OM Financial (Americom) expires on June 10, 2010, and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods, unless terminated by Legacy Marketing with twelve months written notice or by OM Financial (Americom) with at least six months written notice.  Either party may terminate the agreements immediately for cause. As of April 15, 2010, American National, Investors Insurance, and OM Financial did not provide any notice of intent to terminate their marketing agreement with Legacy Marketing. A marketing agreement with Washington National terminated on October 10, 2009. In addition to the marketing agreements, Legacy Marketing had administrative agreements with each of the four  insurance carriers listed above.  Effective October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing entered into an agreement and strategic alliance with a subsidiary of Perot Systems Corporation (Perot Systems), whereby Legacy Marketing transferred its third party administration services function and the employees located in Rome, Georgia, who provide these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions. We owned an office building in Rome, Georgia, which was used to accommodate some of Legacy Marketings administrative activities.  We financed the property with a mortgage loan, which totaled $2.6 million at December 31, 2007.  On October 17, 2007, we entered into a lease with Perot Systems whereby Perot Systems leased our offices in Rome, Georgia, for a ten-year term at an initial rental price of $8.00 per square foot (a lease amount of approximately $300,000 per year).  On May 23, 2008, the Company sold its office building in Rome, Georgia for $3.5 million for a gain of $214,000. Proceeds from the sale of the building were used to repay the mortgage on the property, the outstanding balance of which was $2.6 million. As a result of the sale, the lease with Perot Systems was terminated. On May 31, 2007, Regan Holding and two of its subsidiaries, Legacy Financial Services Inc. (Legacy Financial) and Legacy Advisory Services Inc., entered into an agreement with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation whereby Legacy Financial transferred its registered representatives and customer accounts to Multi-Financial Securities Corporation.  Under the agreement, on September 28, 2007, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation paid Legacy Financial $1.0 million (11.5%) of the aggregate gross dealer concessions earned at Legacy Financial Services between May 1, 2006, and April 30, 2007, by those transferred representatives who were, as of the measurement date (as defined in the agreement), registered with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation and in good standing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).  In addition, on each of the first four anniversary dates of the measurement date, subject to certain conditions, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation is obligated to pay Legacy Financial Services an amount representing up to four and a half percent (4.5%) of each transferred representatives aggregate gross dealer concessions earned with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation during the one year period prior to such anniversary date. At December 31, 2008, Legacy Financial did not meet the specified terms in order to receive the second payment from Multi-Financial Securities Corporation and did not receive any payments related to this agreement as of December 31, 2009. Legacy Financial was registered as a broker-dealer with, and was subject to regulation by, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), FINRA, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, and various state agencies.  As a result of federal and state broker-dealer registration and self-regulatory organization memberships, Legacy Financial was subject to regulation that covers many aspects of its securities business.  This regulation covered matters such as capital requirements, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and employee-related matters, including qualification and licensing of supervisory and sales personnel. Also, these regulations included supervisory and organizational procedures intended to ensure compliance with securities laws and prevent improper trading on material nonpublic information.  Rules of the self-regulatory organizations are designed to promote high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.  A particular focus of the applicable regulations concerns the relationship between broker-dealers and their customers.  As a result, many aspects of the broker-dealer customer relationship are subject to regulation, including suitability determinations as to customer transactions, limitations in the amounts that may be charged to customers, and correspondence with customers. As of September 29, 2008 Legacy Financial withdrew as a broker-dealer registered with FINRA, and FINRA approval of such withdrawal followed in January 2009.  2    On January 25, 2007, prospectdigital LLC ("prospectdigital"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Regan Holding, sold certain of its assets, which primarily included fixed assets and other miscellaneous operating assets, to PD Holdings LLC ("PD Holdings").  In addition, PD Holdings agreed to assume certain liabilities of prospectdigital.  The action was taken in a continuing effort to reduce Regan Holdings operating expenses, as prospectdigital continued to sustain losses through the date of sale. Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer, and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Regan Holding, are the primary owners of PD Holdings.  In connection with the sale, Legacy Marketing and prospectdigital also entered into a service agreement with PD Holdings to provide certain administrative services to PD Holdings for a fee equal to the cost of the services provided. Prospectdigital received $116,000 in consideration of the sale, which was greater than the estimated fair value of the assets of prospectdigital being sold, as determined by a third-party independent valuation.  The amount of consideration was approved by the Board of Directors of Regan Holding. On July 20, 2006, Legacy Marketing entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Washington National Insurance Company (the Lender).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Lender made a non-revolving multiple advance term loan (the Term Loan) to Legacy Marketing totaling $6.0 million.  On April 12, 2007, Legacy Marketing amended certain terms of the Credit Agreement through the execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement, as so amended, the Amended Agreement) and (1) extended the final maturity of the loan under the Credit Agreement from April 1, 2012, to December 31, 2012; (2) changed certain of the requirements for mandatory prepayments under the Credit Agreement; (3) changed certain terms of the financial covenants specified in the Credit Agreement; and (4) revised certain definitions contained in the Credit Agreement. On March 28, 2008, the balance due of $6.0 million, plus accrued interest, on the Credit Agreement was repaid. On November 18, 2005, Regan Holding sold its office buildings in Petaluma, California for $12.8 million.  Regan Holding and the third party buyer (the Buyer) further agreed to enter into a ten year lease agreement, concurrently with the sale of the buildings, whereby it leased back 71,612 square feet through March 14, 2007, and will continue to lease back 47,612 square feet for the remainder of the lease term.  The monthly base rent was $1.37 per square foot in 2009 and $1.33 per square foot in 2008 and will increase annually by three percent during the term of the lease, in addition to monthly taxes and operating expenses. In January 2006, management of Regan Holding decided to discontinue the operations of Values Financial Network (VFN).  VFN incurred losses from operations of $579,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  Regan Holding incurred insignificant costs in connection with exiting the operations of VFN.  On December 31, 2009, VFN was dissolved.  Competitive Business Conditions  The fixed annuity business is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Legacy Marketings primary market is fixed annuity products sold through independent Producers.  Until October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing administered the products sold by Producers on behalf of the issuing insurance carriers.  Fixed annuity product sales in the United States were approximately $108 billion in 2009. Some of Legacy Marketings top competitors designing, marketing, and selling fixed annuity products through independent sales channels are Allianz Life of North America, American Equity Investment Life,  and Aviva USA.  These competitors may have greater financial resources than Legacy Marketing.  However, we believe that Legacy Marketings business model allows greater flexibility, as it can adjust the mix of business sold if one or more of its carriers were to experience capital constraints or other events that affect their business models. Legacy Marketings competitors may respond more quickly to new or emerging products and changes in customer requirements.  We are not aware of any significant new means of competition, products or services that our competitors provide or will soon provide. However, in the highly competitive fixed annuity marketplace, new distribution models, product innovations and technological advances may occur at any time and could present Legacy Marketing with competitive challenges.  There can be no assurance that Legacy Marketing will be able to compete successfully.  In addition, Legacy Marketings business model relies significantly on its Wholesaler distribution network to effectively market its products competitively.  Maintaining relationships with these Wholesaler distribution networks requires introducing new products and services to the market in an efficient and timely manner, offering competitive commission schedules, and providing superior marketing, product training, and support.  Due to competition among insurance companies and insurance marketing organizations for successful Wholesalers, there can be no assurance that Legacy Marketing will be able to retain some or all of its Wholesaler distribution networks.  Recent Industry Developments  During the past few years, several proposals relating to our business have been made by federal and state agencies and legislative bodies and securities and insurance self-regulatory organizations.  As discussed below, a few of these proposals have become effective, and others may be made or adopted.  3    On December 18, 2008, the SEC adopted Rule 151A which will require certain fixed indexed annuity sales to be registered with the SEC by January 12, 2011.  In addition, under the rule registered fixed indexed annuities will only be able to be sold by FINRA registered broker-dealers and representatives.  As a result, fixed indexed annuity sales will be subject to regulation and oversight by both the SEC and FINRA.  In response to the rule's adoption, a coalition of insurance companies and insurance marketing organizations have filed suit to block the implementation of the rule. In addition, on February 17, 2009 the National Association of Insurance Commission (NAIC) and NCOIL (the association of state insurance regulators and a group representing state legislators) also filed a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit that seeks to block implementation of the rule. On July 21, 2009 the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the SEC has the authority to classify indexed annuities as securities but that the SEC failed to properly consider the effect of the rule upon efficiency, competition, and capital formation. If the SEC can satisfy the courts order and Rule 151A becomes effective in the form originally adopted, we could be adversely impacted as we would have to expand our distribution capabilities into broker dealers.  In a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals on December 8, 2009, the SEC stated that Rule 151A would not become effective before two years after completion of the proceedings.  FINRA has issued guidance to its members indicating that broker-dealers regulated by FINRA have certain responsibilities with respect to the offer and sale of equity-indexed annuities, including an obligation to determine the suitability of such products for their customers, regardless of whether equity-indexed annuities are deemed to be securities.  In addition, some state insurance regulators are considering whether additional suitability and disclosure regulations should be implemented with respect to all sales of fixed annuities, particularly with respect to senior citizens.  Also, in recent years, the U.S. insurance regulatory framework has also come under scrutiny.  Some state legislatures have considered laws that may alter or increase state regulation of insurance, reinsurance, and holding companies.  Moreover, the NAIC and state insurance regulators regularly re-examine existing laws and regulations, often focusing on modifications to holding company regulations, interpretations of existing laws and the development of new laws.  Changes in these laws and regulations or their interpretation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our core business consists of selling fixed annuity products, on behalf of insurance carriers, through a network of independent insurance producers (Producers).  If the initiatives undertaken by the SEC, FINRA or state insurance regulators with respect to equity indexed or other fixed annuities were to result in new legislation or regulation, the demand for fixed annuities products, our business and those of our Producers could be adversely affected and could have a material adverse effect on the insurance industry in general or on our financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, the U.S. Congress is again considering legislation that would impose certain national uniform standards on insurance companies, establish an optional federal charter system for insurance companies and repeal the McCarran-Ferguson antitrust exemption for the business of insurance, any of which could have a significant impact on our business.  If such laws or regulations are adopted, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. New tax regulations have also been adopted recently that affect the treatment of tax-sheltered annuity contracts.  In addition, new accounting and actuarial proposals, including principles-based reserving, may be proposed and adopted.  These developments also could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Legacy Financial, a discontinued operation, was registered as a broker-dealer with, and was subject to regulation by, the SEC, FINRA, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, and various state agencies.  This regulation covers matters such as capital requirements, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and employee-related matters, including qualification and licensing of supervisory and sales personnel.  Any proceeding alleging violation of, or noncompliance with, laws and regulations applicable to Legacy Financial could harm its business and financial condition, and our results of discontinued operations.  As of September 29, 2008, Legacy Financial withdrew as a broker-dealer with FINRA, and FINRA approval of such withdrawal followed in January 2009. Employees As of April 1, 2010, we employed approximately 57 persons.  None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement.  We consider our relations with our employees to be good, and we will continue to strive to provide a positive work environment for our employees.  4    Item 1A. Risk Factors RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY We have experienced losses in recent years and if losses continue, our business could suffer. We had a net income of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The net income was primarily due to an increase in revenue generated from Legacy Marketing operations. Due to our history of losses, we do not know if we will be able to sustain the level of premium production in order to generate enough revenue to be profitable in the foreseeable future.  If our revenue declines and we could incur net losses in future periods, our business and results of operations could suffer. We depend on a limited number of sources for our products, and any interruption, deterioration, or termination of the relationship with any of our insurance carriers could be disruptive to our business and harm our results of operations and financial condition. Legacy Marketing has marketing agreements with American National, Investors Insurance, and OM Financial (Americom).  A marketing agreement with Washington National terminated on October 10, 2009. During 2009, 54%, 12%, 10%, and 6% of our total consolidated revenue of $18.4 million resulted from fixed annuity products Legacy Marketing marketed and sold on behalf of Investors Insurance, American National, OM Financial (Americom) and Washington National, respectively.During 2008, 26%, 14%, 12% and 10% of our total consolidated revenue of $12.6 million, which excludes the gain on the sale of partnership interests of $6.5 million, resulted from fixed annuity products Legacy Marketing marketed and sold on behalf of Investors Insurance, Washington National, American National, and OM Financial (Americom), respectively.  The marketing agreement with American National expires on November 15, 2010, and may be renewed by mutual agreement for successive one-year terms.  The agreement may be terminated by either party upon twelve months prior written notice without cause, and may be terminated by either party immediately for cause.  The marketing agreement with Investors Insurance expires on March 31, 2011, and will be renewed automatically for successive one-year terms unless terminated earlier by either party upon twelve months prior written notice without cause.  The marketing agreement with OM Financial (Americom) expires on June 10, 2010, and will automatically renew for successive one-year periods, unless terminated by Legacy Marketing with twelve months written notice or by OM Financial (Americom) with at least six months written notice.  Either party may terminate the agreements immediately for cause. As of April 15, 2010, American National, Investors Insurance, and OM Financial did not provide any notice of intent to terminate their marketing agreement with Legacy Marketing. A marketing agreement with Washington National terminated on October 10, 2009.  Effective October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing terminated its carrier administrative agreements and  entered into an agreement and strategic alliance with a subsidiary of Perot Systems, whereby Legacy Marketing agreed to transfer its third party administration services function and the employees who provide these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions.  Perot Systems will also become the exclusive provider of administrative services for Legacy Marketings future portfolio of annuity products.  In the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, Legacy Marketing received approximately $5.3 million in gross revenue under the administrative agreements with carriers. The impact of the termination of our administrative services, based on the revenue earned and expenses incurred in 2007, reduced the Companys revenue and expenses for 2009 by approximately $3.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and for 2008 by approximately $2.4 million and $4 million, respectively. The termination of administrative agreements does not affect the commissions earned by Legacy Marketing on additional premium received or assets under management with respect to the underlying insurance contracts.  Any interruption, deterioration, or termination of the relationship with any of Legacy Marketings insurance carriers could be disruptive to our business and harm our results of operations and financial condition.  If we fail to attract and retain key personnel, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be diminished.  Our success depends largely on the skills, experience and performance of certain key members of our management.  In the recent past, we have been successful in attracting and retaining key personnel.  We have no agreements with these individuals requiring them to maintain their employment with us.  If we lose one or more of these key employees, particularly Lynda L. Pitts, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, or R. Preston Pitts, President and Chief Financial Officer, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be diminished because we rely on their contacts, insurance carrier and Producer and Wholesaler relationships, and strategic direction to drive our revenues.  However, we are not aware of any key personnel who are planning to retire or leave our company in the near future.  Although we maintain and are the beneficiary of key person life insurance policies on the lives of Lynda L. Pitts and R. Preston Pitts, we do not believe the proceeds would be adequate to compensate Regan Holding for their loss.  5    Competition for employees in our industry can be a concern, particularly for personnel with training and experience.  We may be unable to retain our highly skilled employees or to attract, assimilate, or retain other highly qualified employees in the future. Our performance will depend on the growth of Legacy Marketing. If Legacy Marketing fails to grow, our financial performance could suffer. Our growth is, and for the foreseeable future will continue to be, dependent on Legacy Marketing's ability to design and market competitive fixed annuity products and provide other products, services, and sales.  The ability of Legacy Marketing to successfully perform these services could be affected by many factors, including: · The ability of Legacy Marketing to recruit, provide product training and retain Producers. · The degree of market acceptance of the products designed and marketed on behalf of our insurance carriers. · The relationship between Legacy Marketing and our insurance carriers and their capacity to accept new premium and maintain good financial ratings. · The failure of Legacy Marketing to comply with federal, state and other regulatory requirements applicable to the sale of insurance products. · Competition from other financial services companies in the sale of insurance products. A large percentage of our revenue is derived from sales of fixed annuity products.  The historical crediting rates of fixed annuity products are directly affected by financial market conditions.  Changes in market or economic conditions can affect demand for these fixed annuities.  Our future success depends on our ability to introduce and market new products and services that are financially attractive and address our customers' changing demands.  We may experience difficulties that delay or prevent the successful design, development, introduction and marketing of our products and services. These delays may cause customers to forego purchases of our products and services and instead purchase those of our competitors.  The failure to be successful in our sales efforts could significantly decrease our revenue and operating results and result in weakened financial condition and prospects. We may be unable to effectively fund our working capital requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and earnings. If our cash inflows and existing cash balances become insufficient to support future operating requirements or the redemption of our common stock, we will need to obtain additional funding either by incurring additional debt or issuing equity to investors in either the public or private capital markets.  Our cash flows are primarily dependent upon the commissions we receive based on the premium generated from the sale of fixed annuity products that we sell.  The market for these products is extremely competitive.  New products are constantly being developed to replace existing products in the marketplace.  If we are unable to keep pace with the development of such new products, our cash inflows could decrease.  Due to this changing environment in which we operate, we are unable to predict whether our cash inflows will be sufficient to support future operating requirements.  Our failure to obtain additional funding when needed could delay new product introduction or business expansion opportunities, which could cause a decrease in our operating results and financial condition.  We are unaware of any material limitations on our ability to obtain additional funding.  If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the ownership percentage of our then-current shareholders would be reduced.  Furthermore, any equity securities issued in the future may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to that of our existing common stock. Significant repurchases of our common stock could materially decrease our cash position. Pursuant to the terms of our Amended and Restated Shareholder's Agreement with Lynda L. Pitts, our Chief Executive Officer, upon the death of Mrs. Pitts, the heirs of Mrs. Pitts will have the option (but not the obligation) to sell to us all or a portion of the shares of Regan Holding owned by Mrs. Pitts at the time of her death.  In addition, we would also have the option (but not the obligation) to purchase from Mrs. Pitts estate all shares of common stock that were owned by Mrs. Pitts at the time of her death, or were transferred by her to one or more trusts prior to her death.  The purchase price to be paid by us, if any, shall be equal to 125% of the fair market value of the shares.  As of December 31, 2009, we believe 125% of the fair market value of the shares owned by Mrs. Pitts was equal to $562,000.  We have purchased life insurance coverage for the purpose of funding this potential obligation.  There can be no assurances, however, that the proceeds from this insurance coverage will be available or sufficient to cover the purchase price of the shares owned by Mrs. Pitts at the time of her death.  If the insurance proceeds were not available or sufficient to cover the purchase price of Mrs. Pitts shares at the time of her death, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.  6    RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY We may not be able to compete successfully with competitors that may have greater resources than we do. The fixed annuity business is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive.  Legacy Marketing's primary market is fixed annuities sold through independent Producers.  Fixed annuity product sales in the United States were approximately$109billion in 2009.  Legacy Marketing had a 0.7% share of the 2009 fixed annuity product sales in the United States based on Legacy Marketings $744 million of inforce premiums placed in 2009. Some of Legacy Marketing's top competitors selling fixed annuities through independent sales channels are Allianz Life of North America, American Equity Investment Life, and Aviva USA.  These competitors may have greater financial and other resources than we do, which allow them to respond more quickly than us under certain circumstances. Legacy Marketing is not aware of any significant new means of competition, products or services that its competitors provide or will soon provide.  However, in the highly competitive fixed annuity marketplace, new distribution models, product innovations and technological advances may occur at any time and could present Legacy Marketing with competitive challenges.  There can be no assurance that Legacy Marketing will be able to compete successfully.  In addition, Legacy Marketings business model relies on its Wholesaler distribution networks to effectively market its products competitively to producers.  Maintaining relationships with these Wholesaler distribution networks requires introducing new products and services to the market in an efficient and timely manner, offering competitive commission schedules, and providing superior marketing, product training, and support.  In the recent past, Legacy Marketing has been reasonably successful in expanding and maintaining its Wholesaler or Producer distribution network.  However, due to competition among insurance companies and insurance marketing organizations for successful Wholesalers, there can be no assurance that Legacy Marketing will be able to retain some or all of its Wholesaler distribution networks. We may face increased governmental regulation and legal uncertainties, which could result in diminished financial performance. During the past few years, several federal, state and insurance self-regulatory organization proposals have been made that could affect our business.  As discussed below, a few of these proposals have become effective, and others may be made or adopted.  On December 18, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted Rule 151A which, if it becomes effective in its current form, would require certain fixed indexed annuity sales to be registered with the SEC.  In addition, under the rule registered fixed indexed annuities would only be able to be sold by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) registered broker-dealers and representatives.  As a result, fixed indexed annuity sales would be subject to regulation and oversight by both the SEC and FINRA.  In response to the rule's adoption, a coalition of insurance companies and insurance marketing organizations have filed suit to block the implementation of the rule. In addition, on February 17, 2009 the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and NCOIL (the association of state insurance regulators and a group representing state legislators) filed a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to block implementation of the rule.  On July 21, 2009 the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the SEC has the authority to classify indexed annuities as securities but that the SEC failed to properly consider the effect of the rule upon efficiency, competition, and capital formation. If the SEC can satisfy the courts order and Rule 151A becomes effective in the form originally adopted, we could be adversely impacted as we would have to expand our distribution capabilities into broker dealers.  In a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals on December 8, 2009, the SEC stated that Rule 151A would not become effective before two years after the completion of the proceedings.  Our core business consists of selling fixed annuity products, on behalf of insurance carriers, through a network of independent insurance producers (referred to as Producers). If Rule 151A becomes effective as adopted in 2011, the demand for fixed annuity products, our operations and those of our Producers could be adversely affected and could have a material adverse effect on the insurance industry in general or on our financial condition and results of operations.  Also, in recent years, the U.S. insurance regulatory framework has also come under scrutiny.  Some state legislatures have considered laws that may alter or increase state regulation of insurance, reinsurance, and holding companies.  Moreover, the NAIC and state insurance regulators regularly re-examine existing laws and regulations, often focusing on modifications to holding company regulations, interpretations of existing laws and the development of new laws.  Changes in these laws and regulations or their interpretation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the U.S. Congress is again considering legislation that would impose certain national uniform standards on insurance companies, establish an optional federal charter system for insurance companies and repeal the McCarran-Ferguson antitrust exemption for the business of insurance, any of which could have a significant impact on our business.  If such laws or regulations are adopted, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. New tax regulations have also been adopted recently that affect the treatment of tax-sheltered annuity contracts.  Also, new accounting and actuarial proposals, including principles-based reserving, may be proposed and adopted.  These developments also could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  7    Adverse changes in tax laws could diminish the marketability of most of our products, resulting in decreased revenue.  Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, income tax payable by policyholders on investment earnings is deferred during the accumulation period of most of the fixed annuity products that Legacy Marketing markets.  This favorable income tax treatment results in our policyholders paying no income tax on their earnings in the fixed annuity products until they take a cash distribution.  We believe that the tax deferral features contained within the fixed annuity products that Legacy Marketing markets give our products a competitive advantage over other non-insurance investment products where income taxes may be due on current earnings.  If the tax code is revised to reduce the tax-deferred status of annuity products or to increase the tax-deferred status of competing non-insurance products, our business could be adversely impacted because our competitive advantage could be weakened. If the tax code is revised to change existing estate tax laws, our business could be adversely affected. We cannot predict other future tax initiatives that the federal government may propose that may affect us.  We operate in an industry in which there is significant risk of litigation. Substantial claims against us could diminish our financial condition or results of operation. As a professional services firm primarily engaged in the marketing of fixed annuity products, we encounter litigation in the normal course of business.  Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management believes, based on discussions with legal counsel, that the ultimate disposition of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.  In addition, companies in the insurance industry have been subject to substantial claims involving sales practices, agent misconduct, failure to properly supervise agents, and other matters in connection with the sale of annuities.  Increasingly, these lawsuits have resulted in the award of substantial judgments, including material amounts of punitive damages that are disproportionate to the actual damages. In some states juries have substantial discretion in awarding punitive damages that creates the potential for material adverse judgments in litigation.  If any similar lawsuit or other litigation is brought against us, such proceedings may materially harm our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 2. Properties We owned an office building in Rome, Georgia, which was used to accommodate some of Legacy Marketings operating activities.  We financed the property with a mortgage loan, which totaled $2.6 million at December 31, 2007.  On October 17, 2007, we entered into a lease with Perot Systems whereby Perot Systems leased our offices in Rome, Georgia, for a ten-year term at an initial rental price of $8.00 per square foot (a lease amount of approximately $300,000 per year).  On May 23, 2008, the Company sold its office building in Rome, Georgia for $3.5 million for a gain of $214,000. Net proceeds from the sale of the building were used to repay the mortgage on the property, the outstanding balance of which was $2.6 million. As a result of the sale, the lease with Perot Systems was terminated. We currently lease an office building in Petaluma, California, which serves as the principal executive offices of Legacy Marketing. Item 3. Legal Proceedings We are involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, we believe that the ultimate disposition of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.  Item 4. Reserved  8   PART II  Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities  As of  April 15, 2010, our Series A Common Stock was held by approximately 1,200shareholders of record and our Series B Common Stock was held by approximately 2,200 shareholders of record.  There is no established public trading market for our stock.  Our Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, declare and pay dividends on common stock, subject to capital and solvency restrictions under California law.  To date, we have not paid any dividends on our common stock.  Our ability to pay dividends is dependent on the ability of our wholly-owned subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.  We do not anticipate paying dividends on any of our outstanding common stock in the foreseeable future.  Regan Holding Corp.s Common Stock became subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in November 1991 as a result of the issuance of shares of Series B Stock in connection with the acquisition of LifeSurance Corporation.  There has never been an active public trading market for the Common Stock.  Prior to December 31, 1992, Regan Holding Corp issued 5,935,094 shares of Series A Redeemable Common Stock at prices ranging from $1.00 to $2.25 per share.  This stock was issued in accordance with the terms of the 701 Asset Accumulator Program (the "701 Plan") between Regan Holding Corp., its independent insurance producers and employees, and the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum and Subscription Agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") between the Regan Holding Corp. and certain accredited investors.  Under the terms of the 701 Plan and the Subscription Agreement, the Series A Redeemable Common Stock may be redeemed at the option of the holder after being held for two consecutive years, at a redemption price based upon current market value, subject to Regan Holding Corp.s ability to make such purchases under applicable corporate law.  In connection with the merger in 1991 between Regan Holding Corp. and LifeSurance Corporation, 615,242 shares of Series B Redeemable Common Stock were authorized and issued in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of LifeSurance Corporation.  Under the merger agreement, the Series B Redeemable Common Stock may be redeemed by the holder in quantities of up to 10% per year, at a redemption price based upon current market value, provided that the redemption is in accordance with applicable corporate law.  In 1996, Regan Holding Corp. began repurchasing shares of its Series A and Series B Redeemable Common Stock (collectively referred to as Redeemable Common Stock) and began voluntarily repurchasing shares of its Common Stock that are not redeemable at the option of the holder ("Non-Redeemable Common Stock").  The repurchase prices of the Redeemable Common Stock and Non-Redeemable Common Stock are based on an independent appraisal of the fair market value of the shares.  The fair market value of the Non-Redeemable Common Stock is typically lower than that of the Redeemable Common Stock.  This difference in fair market values reflects the fact that Regan Holding Corp. is not obligated to repurchase the Non-Redeemable Common Stock.  The prices paid for the Redeemable and Non-Redeemable Common Stock were as follows:   Price Per ShareAppraisal DateRedeemable Common Stock

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and related notes included herein. Forward-Looking Statements  Certain statements contained in this document, including Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are not historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements.  Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance of Regan and its businesses to be materially different from that expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  These risks, uncertainties and factors include, among other things, the following: general market conditions and the changing interest rate environment; the interruption, deterioration, or termination of our relationships with the insurance carriers who provide our products or the agents who market and sell them; the ability to develop and market new products to keep up with the evolving industry in which we operate; increased governmental regulation, especially regulations affecting insurance, reinsurance, and holding companies; the ability to attract and retain talented and productive personnel; the ability to effectively fund our working capital requirements; and the risk of substantial litigation or insurance claims.  General Overview of Our Business  Regan is a holding company whose primary operating subsidiary is Legacy Marketing.  The Company and The Legacy Alliance Inc. (Legacy Alliance), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 1, 2009, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 29, 2010 (as amended, the Merger Agreement).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with a Delaware corporation, Legacy Alliance, with Legacy Alliance surviving the merger (the Reorganization).  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, any shareholder who is the record holder of less than 4,500 shares of Regan Series A Common Stock and/or Regan Series B Common Stock (together, Regan Common Stock) will receive $0.10 in cash in exchange for each share of Regan Common Stock that he or she owns, and any shareholder who is the record holder of 4,500 or more shares of Regan Common Stock will receive one share of Legacy Alliance common stock (Legacy Alliance Common Stock) for each block of 4,500 shares of Regan Common Stock that he or she owns and $0.10 in cash per share for any remaining shares of Regan Common Stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Legacy Alliance Common Stock.  All stock options or other rights to acquire shares of Regan Common Stock held by Regan shareholders prior to the effective time of the Reorganization, including any that are unvested, will be vested pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and if unexercised prior to the effective time of the Reorganization, will terminate.  On February 24, 2010, following a public hearing, the California Department of Corporations certified that the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of the securities in the proposed Reorganization Plan were fair and were approved. In addition, a qualification by permit for the offer and sale of such securities was issued to Legacy Alliance.  On March 30, 2010, the Company mailed a notice of special meeting of shareholders to be held on April 20, 2010 along with a proxy statement for solicitation of shareholder approval of the Reorganization.  Legacy Marketing designs and markets fixed annuity products on behalf of certain unaffiliated insurance carriers in each of the United States, except Alabama and New York.  As of December 31, 2009, Legacy Marketing had marketing agreements with American National, Investors Insurance, and OM Financial (Americom).  The marketing agreements grant Legacy Marketing the exclusive right to market certain fixed annuity products issued by these insurance carriers.  Legacy Marketing is responsible for recruiting agents, who have contracted with Legacy Marketing to sell these products, and are appointed with the applicable insurance carrier.  For these services, the insurance carriers pay Legacy Marketing commissions and marketing allowances.  Legacy Marketing also had administrative agreements with each of the insurance carriers listed above.  Effective October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Perot Systems, whereby Legacy Marketing agreed to transfer its third party administration services function and certain employees who provide these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions.  As a result of this transaction, Legacy Marketing recognized a non-cash internal use software impairment charge of approximately $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.  11    On March 26, 2008, the Companys subsidiary, Legacy Marketing Group (LMG), entered into a sale and assignment agreement to sell and assign all rights, title and interest in certain asset based trail commissions to Legacy TM, a limited partnership (the Partnership), for a Class A limited partnership interest in the Partnership and $6.5 million.  LMGs Class A limited partnership interest is unencumbered.  The transaction closed on March 26, 2008.  Through the Class A limited partnership interest, LMG received for a one-year period a 33.33% beneficial interest in the proceeds from the trail commissions on the policies existing on the closing date, and in perpetuity a 100% interest in the proceeds from trail commissions earned on new policies placed in force after the closing date.  The trail commission revenue is recorded into income when it has been received.  Simultaneously with the sale of the Class A limited partnership interest, the Partnership sold to Lynda L. Pitts and R. Preston Pitts the Class B limited partnership interest in exchange for the guarantee of $6.5 million in debt that the Partnership incurred to acquire the trail commissions.  The holders of the Class B limited partnership interest received for a one-year period a 66.66% interest in the proceeds of the trail commissions on existing policies as of the closing date, and thereafter became entitled to receive a 100% interest in the proceeds from such trail commissions.  Lynda L. Pitts, Chief Executive Officer, and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, each of whom is also a director of the Company, are the general partners of the Partnership and together own all of the Class B interests in the Partnership.  As a part of the agreement, LMG was not obligated to repurchase or require the Partnership to return the asset under any conditions.  LMG received $6.5 million in cash for its Class B interest from the Partnership.  To accomplish the cash settlement, the Partnership and its general partners, Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer, each of whom is a director of the Company, pledged the Class B interest in order to obtain funds to finance the transaction.  The Partnership executed a loan agreement, promissory note and commercial pledge agreement to which LMG was not a party and in which it asserted no conditions.  The general partners, Lynda Pitts and R. Preston Pitts who are partners in the Class B partnership each executed a commercial pledge agreement of their Legacy TM partnership interests and other assets as a condition for funding.  LMG was not a party and asserted no conditions in regard to the pledge agreements. LMG not only confirmed that it had no interest in the Class B interest, but it also confirmed the Partnership and the Pittses had the right to pledge the Class B interest.  The business purpose of the retention of the Class A interest through Legacy TM is because we had to do a general assignment of the rights and title of all asset-based trail commissions in accordance with each carrier agreement rather than a limited or restricted assignment.  Consequently, the future rights to the trail commissions associated to the policies in force after the sale date (March 26, 2008) were allocated to the Class A interest and ultimately inure to LMG.  Any trail commissions that might be received on policies placed in force after the sale date of March 26, 2008, which were specifically excluded from the loan transaction from the Bank, are allocated to the Class A partnership interest. This interest was not pledged as collateral for the Legacy TM loan. The Pittses have no financial interest in the Class A partnership and likewise, the Class A partnership was not pledged as collateral for the loan.  The loan between Legacy TM and the Bank of Marin (Bank) is a term loan with a fixed interest rate of 8% per annum. The term is five years and scheduled payments are due monthly. The Pittses had to make personal guarantees which included using their personal real estate (other assets) as a part of that guarantee. The Pittses, not LMG, are individually responsible for the obligation.  As a limited partner, LMG has no liability for the debits of the Partnership.  The contractual language also clarifies the Pitts role as general partners:  The general partner will have exclusive management and control of the business partnership, and all decisions regarding the management and affairs of the partnership will be made by the general partner.  The general partner will have all the rights and powers of general partners as provided in the [California Revised Limited Partnership] Act and as otherwise provided by law.  Based on the structure of the transaction and contractual language, the Company accounted for the transaction as a sale according with the guidance of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities  a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,which was primarily codified in ASC860  Transfers and Servicing,EITF 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues, which was primarily codified in ASC470  Debt,and FASB Statement No. 77, Reporting by Transferors for Transfers of Receivables with Recourse,which was primarily codified in ASC860  Transfers and Servicing.  The annuity products, as defined in the Sale of a Partnership Interest & Assignment of Asset Based Trail Commissions agreement, were certain fixed annuity products sold by LMG on behalf of American National Insurance Company, OM Financial Life Insurance Company/Americom Life, Transamerica Life Insurance Company, IL Annuity and Insurance Company, and Investors Insurance Corporation where LMG, in accordance with each carriers marketing agreement, would earn monthly a specified number of basis points on each annuitys cash value for as long as each annuity remained in-force.  At the time of closing, we valued over 65,000 fixed annuity products that were in-force as of that date and had a trail commission due to LMG.  The rights to the trail commissions with respect to policies that were terminated prior to the closing date were not transferred to the partnership as there would have been no continuing value.  12    In determining the $6.5 million value for the Class B interest, we contracted an outside consultant to perform financial projections based on policies placed in-force as of December 31, 2007 for those carriers listed above and applied certain key assumptions such as lapse rates, growth rates for accumulation values, rates of partial withdrawal, mortality rates, discount rates, and age of policies.  This resulted in the seller and the purchaser agreeing upon $6.5 million as a fair price for the sale of the Class B interest.  LMG will receive through the Class A partnership interest, on any policies placed in force after March 26, 2008, 100% of the proceeds from the trail commissions.  For the period ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, LMG received approximately $43,000 and $4,000, respectively, in trail commissions for these policies.  The Class A interest is not expected to have a significant impact on our future operating results.  A special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company comprising the independent directors, Ute Scott-Smith, J. Daniel Speight, Jr. and Donald Ratajczak, approved the amount of consideration.  In connection with the committees deliberations the Company obtained a fairness opinion from an independent third party stating that the total value of the transaction to the Company was within an acceptable range of estimated fair values of the future trail commission cash flows.  A portion of the proceeds was used to pay the $6 million note payable, to Washington National Insurance Company and interest accrued thereon.  The remainder of the proceeds was available for general corporate purposes.  On May 31, 2007, Regan and two of its subsidiaries, Legacy Financial Services Inc. (Legacy Financial) and Legacy Advisory Services Inc., entered into an agreement with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation whereby Legacy Financial Services transferred its registered representatives and customer accounts to Multi-Financial Securities Corporation.  Under the agreement, on September 28, 2007, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation paid Legacy Financial Services $1 million (11.5%) of the aggregate gross dealer concessions earned at Legacy Financial Services between May 1, 2006, and April 30, 2007, by those transferred representatives who were, as of the measurement date (as defined in the agreement), registered with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation and in good standing with the FINRA.  In addition, on each of the first four anniversary dates of the measurement date, subject to certain conditions, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation is obligated to pay Legacy Financial Services an amount representing up to four and a half percent (4.5%) of each transferred representatives aggregate gross dealer concessions earned with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation during the one year period prior to such anniversary date.  At the end of December 31, 2008, Legacy Financial did not meet the specified terms in order to receive a second payment from Multi-Financial Securities Corporation and did note receive any payments related to this agreement as of December 31, 2009.    Legacy Financial was registered as a broker-dealer with, and was subject to regulation by the SEC, FINRA, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, and various state agencies.  As a result of federal and state broker-dealer registration and self-regulatory organization memberships, Legacy Financial was subject to regulation that covers many aspects of its securities business.  This regulation covers matters such as capital requirements, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and employee-related matters, including qualification and licensing of supervisory and sales personnel.  Also, these regulations included supervisory and organizational procedures intended to ensure compliance with securities laws and prevent improper trading on material nonpublic information.  Rules of the self-regulatory organizations are designed to promote high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.  A particular focus of the applicable regulations concerns the relationship between broker-dealers and their customers.  As a result, many aspects of the broker-dealer customer relationship are subject to regulation, including suitability determinations as to customer transactions, limitations in the amounts that may be charged to customers, and correspondence with customers.  As of September 29, 2008 Legacy Financial withdrew as a broker-dealer registered with FINRA, and FINRA approval of such withdrawal followed in January 2009.  On January 25, 2007, prospectdigital LLC (prospectdigital), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Regan, sold certain of its assets, which primarily included fixed assets and other miscellaneous operating assets, to PD Holdings LLC (PD Holdings).  In addition, PD Holdings agreed to assume certain liabilities of prospectdigital.  The action was taken in a continuing effort to reduce Regans operating expenses, as prospectdigital continued to sustain losses through the date of sale.  Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer, and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Regan, are the primary owners of PD Holdings.  In connection with the sale, we also entered into a service agreement with PD Holdings whereby subsidiaries of Regan will provide certain administrative services to PD Holdings for a fee equal to the cost of the services provided.  Prospectdigital received $116,000 in consideration of the sale, which was greater than the estimated fair value of the assets of prospectdigital being sold, as determined by a third-party independent valuation.  The amount of consideration was approved by the Board of Directors of Regan.  13    On July 20, 2006, Legacy Marketing entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Washington National Insurance Company (the Lender).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Lender made a non-revolving multiple advance term loan (the Term Loan) to Legacy Marketing totaling $6.0 million.  On April 12, 2007, Legacy Marketing amended certain terms of the Agreement through the execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement as so amended, the Amended Agreement) and (1) extended the final maturity of the loan under the Credit Agreement from April 1, 2012, to December 31, 2012; (2) changed certain of the requirements for mandatory prepayments under the Credit Agreement; (3) changed certain terms of the financial covenants specified in the Credit Agreement; and (4) revised certain definitions contained in the Credit Agreement.  On March 28, 2008, the balance due of $6.0 million, plus accrued interest, on the Credit Agreement was repaid.  On November 18, 2005, Regan sold its office buildings in Petaluma, California for $12.8 million.  Proceeds from the sale of the buildings were used to repay the mortgage on the properties, the outstanding balance of which was $6,962,518.04, and the remainder of the proceeds was allocated to working capital.  Regan and the third party buyer (the Buyer) further agreed to enter into a ten year lease agreement, concurrently with the sale of the buildings, whereby it leased back 71,612 square feet through March 14, 2007, and will continue to lease back 47,612 square feet for the remainder of the lease term.  The monthly base rent was $1.37 per square foot in 2009 and $1.33 per square foot in 2008 and will increase annually by three percent during the term of the lease, in addition to monthly taxes and operating expenses.  The results of our operations are generally affected by the conditions that affect other companies that market fixed annuity and life insurance products.  These conditions are increased competition, changes in the regulatory and legislative environments, and changes in general economic and investment conditions.  Recent Industry Developments  During the past few years, several proposals relating to our business have been made by federal and state agencies and legislative bodies and securities and insurance self-regulatory organizations.  As discussed below, a few of these proposals have become effective, and others may be made or adopted.  On December 18, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted Rule 151A which, if it becomes effective in its current form, would require certain fixed indexed annuity sales to be registered with the SEC.  In addition, under the rule registered fixed indexed annuities would only be able to be sold by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) registered broker-dealers and representatives.  As a result, fixed indexed annuity sales would be subject to regulation and oversight by both the SEC and FINRA.  In response to the rule's adoption, a coalition of insurance companies and insurance marketing organizations have filed suit to block the implementation of the rule. In addition, on February 17, 2009 the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and NCOIL (the association of state insurance regulators and a group representing state legislators) filed a petition with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to block implementation of the rule.  On July 21, 2009 the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the SEC has the authority to classify indexed annuities as securities but that the SEC failed to properly consider the effect of the rule upon efficiency, competition, and capital formation. If the SEC can satisfy the courts order and Rule 151A becomes effective in the form originally adopted, we could be adversely impacted as we would have to expand our distribution capabilities into broker dealers.  In a filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals on December 8, 2009, the SEC stated that Rule 151A would not become effective before two years after the completion of the proceedings.  FINRA has issued guidance to its members indicating that broker-dealers regulated by FINRA have certain responsibilities with respect to the offer and sale of equity-indexed annuities, including an obligation to determine the suitability of such products for their customers, regardless of whether equity-indexed annuities are deemed to be securities.  In addition, some state insurance regulators are considering whether additional suitability and disclosure regulations should be implemented with respect to all sales of fixed annuities, particularly with respect to senior citizens.  Also, in recent years, the existing U.S. insurance and financial regulatory frameworks have come under scrutiny.  Some state legislatures have considered laws that may alter or increase state regulation of insurance, reinsurance, and holding companies.  Moreover, the NAIC and state insurance regulators regularly re-examine existing laws and regulations, often focusing on modifications to holding company regulations, interpretations of existing laws and the development of new laws pertaining to fixed annuities.   Further, new accounting and actuarial proposals, including principles-based reserving, may be proposed and adopted. Changes in these laws and regulations or their interpretation could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  Our core business consists of selling fixed annuity products, on behalf of insurance carriers, through a network of independent insurance producers (Producers).  If the initiatives undertaken by the SEC, FINRA or state insurance regulators with respect to equity indexed or other fixed annuities were to result in new legislation or regulation, the demand for fixed annuities products, our business and those of our Producers could be adversely affected and could have a material adverse effect on the insurance industry in general or on our financial condition and results of operations.  14    In addition, the U.S. Congress is again considering legislation that would impose certain national uniform standards on insurance companies, establish an optional federal charter system for insurance companies and repeal the McCarran-Ferguson antitrust exemption for the business of insurance, any of which could have a significant impact on our business.  If such laws or regulations are adopted, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  New tax regulations have also been adopted recently that affect the treatment of tax-sheltered annuity contracts. In addition, new accounting and actuarial proposals, including principles-based reserving, may be adopted.  These developments also could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  Legacy Financial, a discontinued operation, was registered as a broker-dealer with, and was subject to regulation by, the SEC, FINRA, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, and various state agencies.  This regulation covers matters such as capital requirements, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and employee-related matters, including qualification and licensing of supervisory and sales personnel.  Any proceeding alleging violation of, or noncompliance with, laws and regulations applicable to Legacy Financial could harm its business and financial condition, and our results of discontinued operations.  As of September 29, 2008, Legacy Financial withdrew as a broker-dealer with FINRA, and FINRA approval of such withdrawal followed in January 2009.  Critical Accounting Policies  Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on our consolidated financial statements and related notes, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Legacy Marketing has marketing agreements with certain insurance carriers.  Under the terms of the marketing agreements, Legacy Marketing is responsible for recruiting Producers, who have contracted with Legacy Marketing to sell fixed annuity products, and are licensed with various states departments of insurance and appointed with the applicable insurance carriers.  For these services, the insurance carriers pay Legacy Marketing commissions and marketing allowances.  There are no significant management judgments associated with reporting our revenues.  When a policyholder remits a premium payment to that insurance carrier with an accurate and completed application for an insurance policy, the policy is considered inforce and Legacy Marketing recognizes marketing allowances and commission income.  Legacy Marketings carriers grant policyholders a contractual right to cancel the insurance contract ten to thirty days after receiving such contract.  This return period varies depending on the carrier, the type of policy and the jurisdiction in which the policy is sold.  Legacy Marketing gathers historical product return data that does not vary significantly from quarter to quarter, and has historically been predictive of future events.  Returns are estimated using this data and have been reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable for all periods presented approximates their respective carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. In addition, the Companys trading investments reflect their respective fair value in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, which was primarily codified in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and SFAS No.133, which was primarily codified into ASC815  Derivatives and Hedging.  We regularly evaluate the collectability of our accounts and notes receivable. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses, and such losses have historically been minimal and within our expectations. We consider a number of factors when estimating losses, including the aging of a producers debt, creditworthiness of specific producer, historical trends and other information.  We capitalize external consulting fees, and salaries and benefits for employees who are directly associated with the development of software for internal use and product development, when both of the following occur: (i) the preliminary project stage is completed and the project is therefore in the application development stage and (ii) management authorizes and commits to funding a software or product project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software or product will be used to perform the function desired or marketed for generation of revenue.  Modifications or enhancements made to an existing software or product that result in additional functionality are also capitalized.  When the new software or product is placed in production or marketed, we begin amortizing the asset over its estimated useful life.  Training and maintenance costs are accounted for as expenses as they occur.  We periodically review capitalized internal use software and products developed to determine if the carrying value is fully recoverable.  If there are future cash flows directly related to the software or product we record an impairment loss when the present value of the future cash flows is less than the carrying value.  If software or components of software, or the product in development are abandoned, the Company takes a charge to write off the capitalized amount in the period the decision is made to abandon it.  15    We review our other long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.  We periodically review capitalized internal use software to determine if the carrying value is fully recoverable.  Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the assets carrying amount to their expected future undiscounted cash flows.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured based on the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the present value of future discounted cash flows.  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred tax assets will, or will not, be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible.  Management believes it is more likely than not that any deferred tax assets after valuation allowance will be realized.  The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments, which was primarily codified into ASC 505  Equity.This topic addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions whereby an entity receives employee services in exchange for equity instruments, including stock options.  Under this method, the Company records stock-based compensation expense for all new stock options that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered.  The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.  On a continuous basis, the Company evaluates all recent accounting pronouncements and discloses the impact that the implementation of such pronouncements will have on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.  Results of Operations  Year ended December 31, 2009 compared with year ended December 31, 2008 We had consolidated income from continuing operations, before income taxes, of $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $701,000 for the same period of 2008. Our revenue decreased $718,000 (4%) in 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to the sale of limited partnership interest in 2008 for $6.5 million, a decrease in trailing commissions of $1.2 million and a decrease in other revenue of $655,000; partially offset by an increase in marketing allowances and commissions of $7.6 million.  Marketing allowances and commissions increased $7.6 million (99%) primarily due to an overall increase in the sales of fixed annuity products and varying marketing allowance rates on certain products.  Trailing commissions decreased $1.2 million (84%) in 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to the exchange of trail commission rights for limited partnership interests.  The limited partnership interest representing the Class B shares was sold for $6.5 million in March 2008.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, Legacy Marketing marketed and sold products primarily on behalf of four unaffiliated insurance carriers:  Investors Insurance, Washington National, American National, and OM Financial (Americom).  As indicated below, the agreements with these carriers generated a significant portion of our total consolidated revenue of $18.4 million: 20092008Investors Insurance54%26%Washington National6%14%American National12%12%OM Financial (Americom)10%10%  Our consolidated revenues were derived primarily from sales and marketing of the following fixed annuity products: 20092008PremierMark (SM) series (sold on behalf of Investors Insurance)36%22%RewardMark (SM) series (sold on behalf of Washington National)6%14%BenchMark (SM) series (sold on behalf of American National)11%11%AmeriMark Freedom (SM) series (sold on behalf of OM Financial (Americom)10%10%  On September 8, 2009, the parent company of Washington National, Conseco Marketing L.L.C., and Legacy Marketing Group entered into a mutual agreement to terminate the Marketing Agreement between Washington National and Legacy Marketing Group.  As a result, after November 1, 2009, Washington Nationals products were no longer sold through the Legacy Marketing Group sales network.  16    Other revenue decreased $655,000 (18%) in 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to a reduction of expense reimbursements under a contractual arrangement with Perot Systems.  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $376,000 (3%) in 2009 compared to 2008 primarily due to a $505,000 increase in deferred compensation as a result of the fluctuation in market value on previously recognized liabilities under our deferred compensation plans. In addition, there was a $253,000 increase in sales promotion and support and a $216,000 increase in professional fees, offset in part by a $214,000 decrease in salaries and related benefits as a result of reduced headcount, a $155,000 decrease in occupancy expense, a $108,000 decrease in insurance expense, a $66,000 decrease in office supplies, and a $56,000 decrease in travel and entertainment. The reduction in headcount and occupancy expense for 2009 was primarily due to the transfer of our policy administration function to Perot Systems. The increase in sales and promotional support in 2009 was primarily due to higher incentives paid as a result of increased sales. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to an increase in reorganization costs and regulatory filings.  Depreciation expense decreased $2.5 million (64%) in 2009 compared to 2008, as there were a greater amount of assets that were fully depreciated in 2009.  Other expense decreased $236,000 (30%), primarily due to a reduction of equipment leases and maintenance expense.  The rate of provision for income taxes for 2009 and 2008 differs from the federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the expected utilization of federal net operating loss carryforwards.  Year ended December 31, 2008 compared with year ended December 31, 2007  Our revenue decreased $727,000 (4%) in 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to decreased marketing allowances and commissions of $1.1 million, administrative fees of $5.3 million, and trailing commissions of $1.7 million; partially offset by an increase in other revenue of  $1 million and the sale of limited partnership interests of $6.5 million.  Marketing allowances and commissions decreased $1.1 million (12%) primarily due to an overall decrease in the sales of fixed annuity products and lower marketing allowance rates on some of the products.  Administrative fees decreased $5.3 million (100%) in 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to the termination of administrative agreements with Washington National, American National, Investors Insurance, and OM Financial (Americom) effective October 17, 2007, as the result of an agreement with a subsidiary of Perot Systems, whereby we agreed to transfer our third party administration services function and certain employees who provide these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions.  As a result of this transaction, Legacy Marketing recognized a non-cash internal use software impairment charge of approximately $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.  Trailing commissions decreased $1.7 million (56%) primarily due to the result of a decline in inforce policies and the exchange of trail commission rights for limited partnership interests.  The limited partnership interest representing the Class B shares was subsequently sold for $6.5 million in March 2008.  Other revenue increased $843,000 (31%)  primarily due. to payments received from Perot for the transitioned and retained employee salaries and benefits, certain software and hardware costs, and other occupancy and equipment costs.  The remaining increase of $6.5 million in revenue was due to the gain on the sale of the Limited Partnership Class B shares in Legacy TM, LP.  Legacy Marketings operating expenses decreased  $10.4 million (36%) in 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due to decreased selling, general and administrative expenses, other miscellaneous expenses, and deferred compensation, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses as a result of the acceleration of the estimated useful life of internal use software.   Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $9.4 million (41%) primarily due to reduced compensation and benefits, occupancy expense, and professional fees.  Compensation and benefits decreased primarily due to decreased employee headcount resulting from the transfer of administrative services to the Perot subsidiary.  Occupancy expenses decreased primarily due to a reduction in mortgage expense as a result of the sale of our Rome, Georgia facility in May 2008.  Professional fees decreased primarily due to lower consulting and legal services.  Other miscellaneous expenses decreased in 2008, as 2007 included a $1.2 million impairment charge for internal use software.  In addition, there was a decrease in equipment leasing and maintenance expense in 2008 primarily due to the renegotiation of contracts and reduction of office equipment.  Deferred compensation expense decreased in 2008 primarily due to a decline in market value of the deferred compensation liabilities.  Income tax provision increased $106,000 in 2008 primarily due to Californias suspension of using net operating loss carryforwards for tax year 2008.  17    On October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing entered into an agreement and strategic alliance with a subsidiary of Perot Systems Corporation (Perot Systems), whereby Legacy Marketing transferred its third party administration services function and the employees located in Rome, Georgia, who provides these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions. Administrative revenues for 2007 were $5.3 million. Administrative expenses for 2007 were $6.9 million. The impact of the termination of our administrative services, based on the revenue earned and expenses incurred in 2007, reduced the Companys revenue and expenses for 2009 by approximately $3.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and for 2008 by approximately $2.4 million and $4 million, respectively.  Discontinued Segments  On May 31, 2007, Regan and two of its subsidiaries, Legacy Financial and Legacy Advisory Services Inc., entered into an agreement with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation whereby Legacy Financial Services transferred its registered representatives and customer accounts to Multi-Financial Securities Corporation.  Under the agreement, on September 28, 2007, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation paid Legacy Financial Services $1 million (11.5%) of the aggregate gross dealer concessions earned at Legacy Financial Services between May 1, 2006, and April 30, 2007, by those transferred representatives who were, as of the measurement date (as defined in the agreement), registered with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation and in good standing with the FINRA.  In addition, on each of the first four anniversary dates of the measurement date, subject to certain conditions, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation is obligated to pay Legacy Financial Services an amount representing up to four and a half percent (4.5%) of each transferred representatives aggregate gross dealer concessions earned with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation during the one year period prior to such anniversary date.  As of December 31, 2008, Legacy Financial did not meet the specified terms in order to receive a second payment from Multi-Financial Securities Corporation and did not receive any payments related to this agreement as of December 31, 2009.  As of September 29, 2008 Legacy Financial withdrew as a broker-dealer registered with FINRA, and FINRA approval of such withdrawal followed in January 2009.  We recognized a $1 million gain on the transfer of Legacy Financials registered representatives and customer accounts to Multi-Financial Securities Corporation in 2007, and as a result Legacy Financial had net income of $133,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.  Legacy Financials results are being reported as discontinued operations.  On our consolidated balance sheet, Legacy Financials assets consist of $166,000 in prepaid expenses and $183,000 in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 and $294,000 in prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2008.  Legacy Financials liabilities consist of  $213,000 in accrued liabilities and $115,000 in accounts payable as of December 31, 2009 and $291,000 in accrued liabilities and $75,000 in accounts payable as of December 31, 2008.  On January 25, 2007, prospectdigital LLC (prospectdigital), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Regan, sold certain of its assets, which primarily included fixed assets and other miscellaneous operating assets, to PD Holdings LLC (PD Holdings).  In addition, PD Holdings agreed to assume certain liabilities of prospectdigital.  The action was taken in a continuing effort to reduce our operating expenses, as prospectdigital continued to sustain losses through the date of sale.  Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer, and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Regan, are the primary owners of PD Holdings.  In connection with the sale, also entered into a service agreement with PD Holdings, pursuant to which subsidiaries of Regan provided certain administrative services to PD Holdings, for a fee equal to the cost of the services provided.  Prospectdigital received $116,000 in consideration of the sale, which was greater than the estimated fair value of the assets of prospectdigital being sold, as determined by a third-party independent valuation.  The amount of consideration was approved by the Board of Directors of Regan.  Prospectdigital is being reported as a discontinued operation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  On our consolidated balance sheet, prospectdigitals assets consist of $29,000 in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 and $28,000 in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008.  Prospectdigitals liabilities consist of $23,000 in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and $32,000 in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2008.  We incurred an $189,000 loss on the sale of prospectdigitals assets in 2007.  In January 2006, we decided to discontinue the operations of Values Financial Network (VFN).  We incurred insignificant costs in connection with exiting the operations of VFN. As of December 31, 2009, VFN was dissolved.  Liquidity and Capital Resources  Our net cash provided by operating activities generally follows the trend in our revenue and operating results.  Our net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $849,000 which was consistent with our operating revenues offset by cash transferred to our investment account and the reduction of our current liabilities. Net cash provided by operations during the same period of 2008 was $8.8 million and was primarily due to the $6.5 million gain on the sale of the Limited Partnership Class B shares in Legacy TM, LP, offset in part by a decline in cash-based operating results.  18    Net cash used in investing activities in 2009 of $194,000 consisted of purchases of fixed assets and the issuance of notes receivable for debt owed, offset in part by payments received. Additions to fixed assets during the period included cash purchases of $93,000 related to internal use software capitalizations and of $40,000 related to computer hardware.  Net cash used in financing activities in 2009 of $550,000 consisted of repayments on capital equipment lease obligations and short-term borrowings.  Our operating activities in 2009 enabled us to generate $105,000 in cash, net of the $2.1 million in cash used to purchase investments, both of which has significantly increased our liquidity and capital resources compared to the same period of 2008. In the event that a cash shortfall occurs, we believe that adequate financing could be obtained to meet our cash flow needs.  However, there can be no assurances that such financing would be available on favorable terms.  Our cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $8.8 million in 2008 and was primarily the result of proceeds from and on the sale of trading securities and non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization and capital losses, partially offset by our net loss and a decrease in the deferred compensation payable.  Our cash used in operating activities was $6.2 million in 2007 and was primarily the result of our net loss and a decrease in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of trading securities and non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization and losses on write-off of fixed assets.  Net cash provided by investing activities during the same period of 2008 was $3.8 million and was primarily due to the $3.5 million sale of our Rome, Georgia building in May 2008 and the use of temporarily restricted cash to fund various arbitration settlements associated with our discontinued broker dealer operation, offset in part by repayment towards notes receivable.  Net cash used in investing activities of $396,000 in 2007 consisted primarily of purchases of fixed assets and an increase in temporarily restricted cash, partially offset by proceeds from the transfer of Legacy Financial Services representatives and by proceeds from the sale of prospectdigitals assets.  Net cash used in financing activities of $12.2 million in 2008 consisted primarily of the repayment of the Washington National loan and the mortgage loan of our Rome, Georgia facility, partially offset by proceeds from a line of credit loan.  Net cash provided by financing activities of $3.8 million in 2007 consisted primarily of proceeds from loans received from our investment broker.  On May 23, 2008, the Company sold its office building in Rome, Georgia to Freehold Capital Advisors Ltd. for $3.5 million for a gain of $214,000.  Net proceeds from the sale of the building were used to repay the mortgage on the property, the outstanding balance of which was $2.6 million.  19    We lease office and warehouse premises and certain office equipment under non-cancelable operating and capital leases.  As of December 31, 2009, our total contractual cash obligations were as follows: Payments Due by PeriodContractual ObligationsTotalLess than 1 year1  3years3  5 yearsAfter 5 yearsDebt309,000309,000---Operating and Capital Leases5,599,0001,033,0002,792,0001,774,000-Total Contractual Cash Obligations5,908,0001,342,0002,792,0001,774,000-   Pursuant to the terms of our Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement with Lynda L. Pitts, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of our Board of Directors, upon the death of Mrs. Pitts, we would have the option (but not the obligation) to purchase from Mrs. Pitts estate all shares of common stock that were owned by Mrs. Pitts at the time of her death, or were transferred by her to one or more trusts prior to her death.  In addition, upon the death of Mrs. Pitts, her heirs would have the option (but not the obligation) to sell their inherited shares to us.  The purchase price to be paid by us shall be equal to 125% of the fair market value of the shares.  As of December 31, 2009, we believe that 125% of the fair market value of the shares owned by Mrs. Pitts was equal to $562,000.  We have purchased life insurance coverage for the purpose of funding this potential obligation upon Mrs. Pitts death.  $849,000 of cash was provided by operations in 2009 and $8.8 million in 2008.  We used $6.2 million of cash in operations in 2007.  Though, we generated net income of $2.2 million in 2009, we incurred consolidated net losses of $110,000 and $9.1 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.  To mitigate possible cash shortfalls, we are currently in the process of seeking shareholder approval to merge the Company into The Legacy Alliance, Inc. in order to reduce the number of shareholders below 300 and enable the Company to terminate its status as a public company. This is expected to reduce costs associated with reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The estimated direct and indirect cost savings would be approximately $453,000 per year, plus an additional $257,000 in annual costs relating to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In 2008, we lowered our cost structure by reducing our employee headcount, by repayment of debt, and by reducing the amount of office equipment leases.  In March 2008, we repaid the Washington National loan using the proceeds from the sale of partnership interests in Legacy TM, LP.  In May 2008, we sold our facility in Rome, Georgia and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage loan.  In October 2008, we liquidated a portion of our investment portfolio to repay the margin loans obtained from our investment broker.  All of these actions eliminated approximately $1.6 million of annual cash used for interest and principal payments in 2008.  Starting in 2008, we have also benefited from an increase in the aggregate amount of fixed annuity sales, which we believe is due to the dramatic drop in the equity markets that began last year.  The combination of increased sales and reduced costs has resulted in improved cash flows.  Although, this may or may not be sustainable, it had a positive impact on the initial operating results for 2009.  In January 2007, we exited the prospectdigital business and disposed of its assets.  This action eliminated approximately $1.2 million of annual cash use.  We have completed the sale of Legacy Financials registered representatives and customer accounts, and we received $1 million of cash proceeds from that sale on September 28, 2007.  We used the cash proceeds from this sale to settle pending Legacy Financial matters.  On October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing entered into an agreement and strategic alliance with a subsidiary of Perot Systems Corporation (Perot Systems), whereby Legacy Marketing transferred its third party administration services function and the employees located in Rome, Georgia, who provides these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions. Administrative revenues for 2007 were $5.3 million. Administrative expenses for 2007 were $6.9 million. The impact of the termination of our administrative services, based on the revenue earned and expenses incurred in 2007, reduced the Companys revenue and expenses for 2009 by approximately $3.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and for 2008 by approximately $2.4 million and $4 million, respectively.  On May 23, 2008, the Company sold its office building in Rome, Georgia to Freehold Capital Advisors Ltd. for $3.5 million for a gain of $214,000.  Net proceeds from the sale of the building were used to repay the mortgage on the property, the outstanding balance of which was $2.6 million.  20    On March 26, 2008, the Companys subsidiary, Legacy Marketing Group (LMG), entered into a sale and assignment agreement to sell and assign all rights, title and interest in certain asset based trail commissions to Legacy TM, a limited partnership (the Partnership), for a Class A limited partnership interest in the Partnership and $6.5 million.  LMGs Class A limited partnership interest is unencumbered.  The transaction closed on March 26, 2008.  Through the Class A limited partnership interest, LMG received for a one-year period a 33.33% beneficial interest in the proceeds from the trail commissions on the policies existing on the closing date, and in perpetuity a 100% interest in the proceeds from trail commissions earned on new policies placed in force after the closing date.  The trail commission revenue is recorded into income when it has been received.  Simultaneously with the sale of the Class A limited partnership interest, the Partnership sold to Lynda L. Pitts and R. Preston Pitts the Class B limited partnership interest in exchange for the guarantee of $6.5 million in debt that the Partnership incurred to acquire the trail commissions.  The holders of the Class B limited partnership interest received for a one-year period a 66.66% interest in the proceeds of the trail commissions on existing policies as of the closing date, and thereafter became entitled to receive a 100% interest in the proceeds from such trail commissions.  Lynda L. Pitts, Chief Executive Officer, and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, each of whom is also a director of the Company, are the general partners of the Partnership and together own all of the Class B interests in the Partnership.  As a part of the agreement, LMG was not obligated to repurchase or require the Partnership to return the asset under any conditions.  LMG received $6.5 million in cash for its Class B interest from the Partnership.  To accomplish the cash settlement, the Partnership and its general partners, Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer, each of whom is a director of the Company, pledged the Class B interest in order to obtain funds to finance the transaction.  The Partnership executed a loan agreement, promissory note and commercial pledge agreement to which LMG was not a party and in which it asserted no conditions.  The general partners, Lynda Pitts and R. Preston Pitts who are partners in the Class B partnership each executed a commercial pledge agreement of their Legacy TM partnership interests and other assets as a condition for funding.  LMG was not a party and asserted no conditions in regard to the pledge agreements.   LMG not only confirmed that it had no interest in the Class B interest, but it also confirmed the Partnership and the Pittses had the right to pledge the Class B interest.  The business purpose of the retention of the Class A interest through Legacy TM is because we had to do a general assignment of the rights and title of all asset-based trail commissions in accordance with each carrier agreement rather than a limited or restricted assignment.  Consequently, the future rights to the trail commissions associated to the policies in force after the sale date (March 26, 2008) were allocated to the Class A interest and ultimately inure to LMG.  Any trail commissions that might be received on policies placed in force after the sale date of March 26, 2008, which were specifically excluded from the loan transaction from the Bank, are allocated to the Class A partnership interest. This interest was not pledged as collateral for the Legacy TM loan. The Pittses have no financial interest in the Class A partnership and likewise, the Class A partnership was not pledged as collateral for the loan.  The loan between Legacy TM and the Bank of Marin (Bank) is a term loan with a fixed interest rate of 8% per annum. The term is five years and scheduled payments are due monthly. The Pittses had to make personal guarantees which included using their personal real estate (other assets) as a part of that guarantee. The Pittses, not LMG, are individually responsible for the obligation.  As a limited partner, LMG has no liability for the debits of the Partnership.  The contractual language also clarifies the Pitts role as general partners:  The general partner will have exclusive management and control of the business partnership, and all decisions regarding the management and affairs of the partnership will be made by the general partner.  The general partner will have all the rights and powers of general partners as provided in the [California Revised Limited Partnership] Act and as otherwise provided by law.  Based on the structure of the transaction and contractual language, the Company accounted for the transaction as a sale according with the guidance of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities  a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,which was primarily codified in ASC860  Transfers and Servicing,EITF 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues, which was primarily codified in ASC605  Revenue Recognition,and FASB Statement No. 77, Reporting by Transferors for Transfers of Receivables with Recourse,which was primarily codified in ASC860  Transfers and Servicing.  21   The annuity products, as defined in the Sale of a Partnership Interest & Assignment of Asset Based Trail Commissions agreement, were certain fixed annuity products sold by LMG on behalf of American National Insurance Company, OM Financial Life Insurance Company/Americom Life, Transamerica Life Insurance Company, IL Annuity and Insurance Company, and Investors Insurance Corporation where LMG, in accordance with each carriers marketing agreement, would earn monthly a specified number of basis points on each annuitys cash value for as long as each annuity remained in-force.  At the time of closing, we valued over 65,000 fixed annuity products that were in-force as of that date and had a trail commission due to LMG.  The rights to the trail commissions with respect to policies that were terminated prior to the closing date were not transferred to the partnership as there would have been no continuing value.  In determining the $6.5 million value for the Class B interest, we contracted an outside consultant to perform financial projections based on policies placed in-force as of December 31, 2007 for those carriers listed above and applied certain key assumptions such as lapse rates, growth rates for accumulation values, rates of partial withdrawal, mortality rates, discount rates, and age of policies.  This resulted in the seller and the purchaser agreeing upon $6.5 million as a fair price for the sale of the Class B interest.  LMG will receive through the Class A partnership interest, on any policies placed in force after March 26, 2008, 100% of the proceeds from the trail commissions.  For the period ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, LMG received approximately $43,000 and $4,000, respectively, in trail commissions for these policies. The Class A interest is not expected to have a significant impact on our future operating results.  A special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company comprising the independent directors, Ute Scott-Smith, J. Daniel Speight, Jr. and Donald Ratajczak, approved the amount of consideration.  In connection with the committees deliberations the Company obtained a fairness opinion from an independent third party stating that the total value of the transaction to the Company was within an acceptable range of estimated fair values of the future trail commission cash flows.  A portion of the proceeds was used to pay the $6 million note payable to Washington National Insurance Company and interest accrued thereon.  The remainder of the proceeds is available for general corporate purposes.  In the event that a cash shortfall does occur, we believe that adequate financing could be obtained to meet our cash flow needs.  However, there can be no assurances that such financing would be available on favorable terms.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which was primarily codified into ASC 820  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The effective date of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually) is for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted ASC 820 on January 1, 2008 and it did not have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.  In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which was primarily codified into ASC 825  Financial Instruments. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  ASC 825 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company adopted ASC 825 on January 1, 2008 and it did not have a material effect on our results of operations or financial condition.  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations(SFAS 141R), which was primarily codified into ASC 805  Business Combinations.  This statement establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  This statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009.  The Company expects this pronouncement to have a significant impact on future acquisitions.  22    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,which was primarily codified into ASC 810 - Consolidation.This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Adoption of ASC 810 is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- an amendment of SFAS No. 133, which was primarily codified into Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, in the ASC. This statementenhances the disclosure requirement of derivative and hedging activities by providing adequate information on how such activities impact an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flow. This is intended to improve the transparency of financial reporting related to derivative and hedging activities. Our adoption of ASC 815 was effective beginning January 1, 2009, and did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which was primarily codified into ASC 105  Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.  The statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.  This Statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.Adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises,which was primarily codified into ASC 944  Financial Services - Insurance.  The statement helps resolve diversity resulting in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred.  In addition, the Statement clarifies the financial reporting requirements under SFAS No. 60 of financial guarantee insurance contracts for better comparability.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008.  Adoption of ASC 944 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In April 2008, the FASB Staff Position (FSP) issued FAS No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which was primarily codified into ASC 350 Intangibles  Goodwill and Other,to amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.The intent of ASC 944 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under ASC 805  Business Combinations,and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  ASC 944 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption prohibited.  Adoption of ASC 350 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.    In May 2009, The FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events,which was primarily codified into Topic 855  Subsequent Eventsin the ASC. This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It alerts all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of interim and annual financial statements being presented. This standard is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Therefore, we have performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. Our adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment ofFASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, which has not yet been codified in the ASC.This statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets and the effects the transfer will have on its financial position, performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting beginning after November 15, 2009. Adoption of SFAS No. 166 is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,which was primarily codified into Topic 105  Generally Accepted Accounting Standardsin the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). ASC 105 identifies the sources of and framework for accounting principles used in preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The ASC will become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. This Statement is to modify the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and nonauthoritative. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  23    In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Valueunder Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosuresin the ASC. The update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques:  1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets.  2. Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820. Two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. The update also clarifies that a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability at the measurement date or when an identical liability is traded as an asset qualify as a Level 1 input. This update is effective for the first reporting period after issuance. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets under Topic 860  Transfers and Servicingin the ASC. The update provides additional accounting and reporting standards for the transfers and servicing of financial assets and servicing rights by establishing additional criteria to determine if there is any continuing involvement with either the assets transferred or with the transferee. Some of the examples given in ASU 2009-16 of continuing involvement with the transferred financial assets are (a) servicing arrangements, (b) recourse arrangements, (c) guarantee arrangements, (d) purchase or redemption arrangements, (e) options written or held, (f) derivative financial instruments that are entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the transfer, (g) arrangements to provide financial support, (h) pledges of collateral, and (i) the transferors beneficial interest in the transferred asset. Since the transfer of financial assets with continuing interests raises issues regarding whether the transfers should be considered sales (of all or part) or secured borrowings, the ASU 2009-16 establishes standards for resolving those issues. We have reviewed ASU 2009-16 and determined that the sale of partnership interest did not meet the criteria for any continuing involvement and thus, did not have a material effect on our results of operations.  In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements under Topic 820  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures as follows:  1. Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.  2. Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).  In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies existing disclosures as follows:  1. Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.  2. Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have any material effect on our financials.  24    In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements under Topic 855  Subsequent Events.The update provides amendments as follows:  1. An entity that either (a) is an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local or regional markets) is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. If an entity meets neither of those criteria, then it should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued.  2. The glossary of Topic 855 is amended to include the definition of SEC filer. An SEC filer is an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with either the SEC or, with respect to an entity subject to Section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the appropriate agency under that Section. It does not include an entity that is not otherwise an SEC filer whose financial statements are included in a submission by another SEC filer.  3. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SECs requirements.  4. The glossary of Topic 855 is amended to remove the definition of public entity. The definition of a public entity in Topic 855 was used to determine the date through which subsequent events should be evaluated. Based on the amendments, that definition is no longer necessary for purposes of Topic 855.  5. The scope of the reissuance disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only. The term revised financial statementsis added to the glossary of Topic 855. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised either as a result of correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  ASU 2010-09 is effective upon issuance of the update. The adoption of this update did not have any material effect on our financials.  25    Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk  Our investments are categorized as trading securities.  We did not directly own any investments in fixed income instruments as of December 31, 2009.  Equity price risk is the potential loss arising from changes in the value of equity securities.  In general, equity securities have more year-to-year price variability than intermediate term high-grade bonds.  However, returns over longer time frames have been consistently higher.  Our equity securities consist primarily of investments in broadly diversified mutual funds.  As a result of unfavorable market conditions related to our mutual fund investments, the fair value of our equity securities significantly declined in the last quarter of 2008.  In reaction, on October 9, 2008, the Company had to liquidate its investment portfolio for $5.4 million in order to repay $4.3 million in outstanding loans from its investment broker.  The remaining cash was placed into a money market fund.  In 2009, the Company was able to reinvest $2.5 million into a combination of equity securities and a money market fund.  We will continue to evaluate market conditions to determine when it is prudent to reallocate our investments.  Shown below is the original cost and fair value of our marketable equity trading securities and money market funds as of December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007:  Original CostFair ValueDecember 31, 20092,776,0003,142,000December 31, 2008641,000641,000December 31, 20076,363,0007,625,000  The above risk is monitored on an ongoing basis.  A combination of in-house review and consultation with our investment broker is used to analyze individual securities, as well as the entire portfolio.  In addition, the Company is subject to the effect of market fluctuations upon its deferred compensation liability.  This could adversely impact our operating results and the financial condition of the Company.  On May 23, 2008, the Company sold its office building in Rome, Georgia for $3.5 million for a gain of $214,000.  Net proceeds from the sale of the building were used to repay the mortgage on the property, the outstanding balance of which was $2.6 million.   26    Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data  Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm  To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Regan Holding Corp.:  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Regan Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009.  Our audits also included the financial statement Schedule II  Valuation and Qualifying Accounts as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor have we been engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Regan Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, when considered in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.   /s/ Burr, Pilger & Mayer, LLP San Francisco, California April 15, 2010   27   REGAN HOLDING CORP.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  a.  Organization  Regan Holding Corp. (the Company) is a holding company, incorporated in California in 1990, whose primary operating subsidiary is Legacy Marketing Group (Legacy Marketing).  As of December 31, 2009, Legacy Marketing had marketing agreements with American National Insurance Company (American National), Investors Insurance Corporation (Investors Insurance),  and OM Financial (Americom) Life Insurance Company (OM Financial (Americom), (collectively, the carriers).  Under the terms of the marketing agreements, Legacy Marketing is responsible for recruiting Producers, who have contracted with Legacy Marketing to sell fixed annuity products and are licensed with various states departments of insurance and appointed with the applicable insurance carriers.  For these services, the insurance carriers pay Legacy Marketing commissions and marketing allowances.  On December 1, 2009, the Company and The Legacy Alliance Inc. (Legacy Alliance), had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger,  as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 29, 2010 (as amended, the Merger Agreement).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with a Delaware corporation, Legacy Alliance, with Legacy Alliance surviving the merger (the Reorganization).  Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, any shareholder who is the record holder of less than 4,500 shares of Regan Series A Common Stock and/or Regan Series B Common Stock (together, Regan Common Stock) will receive $0.10 in cash in exchange for each share of Regan Common Stock that he or she owns, and any shareholder who is the record holder of 4,500 or more shares of Regan Common Stock will receive one share of Legacy Alliance common stock (Legacy Alliance Common Stock) for each block of 4,500 shares of Regan Common Stock that he or she owns and $0.10 in cash per share for any remaining shares of Regan Common Stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Legacy Alliance Common Stock.  All stock options or other rights to acquire shares of Regan Common Stock held by Regan shareholders prior to the effective time of the Reorganization, including any that are unvested, will be vested pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and if unexercised prior to the effective time of the Reorganization, will terminate.  On February 24, 2010, following a public hearing, the California Department of Corporations certified that the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of the securities in the proposed Reorganization Plan were fair and were approved. In addition, a qualification by permit for the offer and sale of such securities was issued to Legacy Alliance.  On March 30, 2010, the Company mailed a notice of special meeting of shareholders to be held on April 20, 2010 along with a proxy statement for solicitation of shareholder approval of the Reorganization.  b.  Basis of Presentation  The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of Regan Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Discontinued operations, the current portion of deferred compensation payable, and payments towards capital lease liability of the prior year financial statements presented were reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to current years discontinued operations, deferred compensation payable, and capital lease liability in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements are issued. See note 15.  32    c.  Financial Condition and Liquidity  $849,000 of cash was provided by operations in 2009 and $8.8 million in 2008.  We used $6.2 million of cash in operations in 2007.  Though we generated net income of $2.2 million in 2009, we incurred consolidated net losses of $110,000 and $9.1 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively.  To mitigate possible cash shortfalls, we are currently in the process of obtaining shareholder approval to deregister as a public company in order to reduce costs associated with reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The estimated direct and indirect cost savings would be approximately $453,000 per year, plus an additional $257,000 in annual costs relating to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In 2008, we lowered our cost structure by reducing our employee headcount, by repayment of debt, and by reducing the amount of office equipment leases.  In March 2008, we repaid the Washington National loan using the proceeds from the sale of partnership interests in Legacy TM, LP.  In May 2008, we sold our facility in Rome, Georgia and used a portion of the proceeds to repay the mortgage loan.  In October 2008, we liquidated a portion of our investment portfolio to repay the margin loans obtained from our investment broker.  All of these actions eliminated approximately $1.6 million of annual cash use for interest and principal payments in 2008.  As evident from the Companys prior year results, the Company had operating losses which created negative Shareholders equity and a negative working capital position.  Starting in 2008, we have benefited from an increase in the aggregate amount of fixed annuity sales, which we believe is due to the dramatic drop in the equity markets that began last year.  The combination of increased sales and reduced costs has resulted in improved cash flows.  Although, this may or may not be sustainable, it had a positive impact on the initial operating results for 2009.  The increased sales and acceptance of fixed annuities due to the current economic conditions has helped to improve our cash position and balance sheet.  In January 2007, the Company exited the prospectdigital business and disposed of its assets.  This action eliminated approximately $1.2 million of annual cash use.  In 2007 the Company and two of its subsidiaries, Legacy Financial Services Inc. (Legacy Financial) and Legacy Advisory Services Inc., completed the sale of Legacy Financials registered representatives and customer accounts, and the Company received $1 million of cash proceeds from that sale on September 28, 2007.  The cash proceeds from this sale were used to settle pending Legacy Financial matters.  On October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing entered into an agreement and strategic alliance with a subsidiary of Perot Systems, whereby Legacy Marketing agreed to transfer its third party administration services function and the employees who provide these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions.  In the event that a cash shortfall does occur, the Company believes that adequate financing could be obtained to meet its cash flow needs.  However, there can be no assurances that such financing would be available on favorable terms.  d.  Revenue Recognition  When a policyholder remits a premium payment to the insurance carrier with an accurate and completed application for an insurance policy, the policy is placed inforce and Legacy Marketing recognizes marketing allowances and commission income.  Legacy Marketings carriers policyholders have a contractual right to terminate the insurance contract ten to thirty days after a policy is placed inforce.  This return period varies on the type of policy and the jurisdiction in which the policy is sold.  Legacy Marketing gathers historical product return data that does not vary significantly from quarter to quarter, and has historically been predictive of future events.  Returns are estimated using this data and have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.  e.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments  The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable for all periods presented approximates their respective carrying amounts because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. In addition, the Companys trading investments reflect their respective fair value in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, which was primarily codified into ASC 820  Fair Value Measurements.ASC 820 is based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels as follows:  Level 1 Observable inputs  quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;  Level 2 Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities  such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data;  Level 3 Unobservable inputs  includes amounts derived from valuation models where one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions.  33    As of December 31, 2009 trading securities valued at $3.1 million and a deferred compensation liability valued at $5.0 million were valued using level 1 inputs.  f.  Cash and Cash Equivalents  Cash and cash equivalents include marketable securities with an original maturity or remaining maturity of ninety days or less at the time of purchase.  g.  Investments  The Companys investments are classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, which was primarily codified into ASC820  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  For trading securities, unrealized gains and losses are reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses.  Interest income is recognized when earned.  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized in the period sold using the specific identification method for determining cost.  h.  Accounts and Notes Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its accounts and notes receivable. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses, and such losses have historically been minimal and within our expectations. The Company considers a number of factors when estimating losses, including the aging of a producers debt, creditworthiness of specific producer, historical trends and other information.  i.  Fixed Assets  Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  The Company capitalizes consulting fees and salaries and benefits for employees who are directly associated with the development of software for internal use when both of the following occur: (i) the preliminary project stage is completed and therefore the project is in the application development stage and (ii) management authorizes and commits to funding a software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function desired.  Modifications or enhancements made to an existing software product that result in additional functionality are also capitalized.  When the new software is placed in production, we begin amortizing the asset over its estimated useful life.  Training and maintenance costs are accounted for as expenses as they occur.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset, as follows:  Computer hardware and purchased software
3-5 years
Internal use software development costs
3-5 years
Leasehold improvements
2-10 years
Furniture and equipment
5 years
Building
40 years   Effective October 17, 2007 (Transaction Date), Legacy Marketing entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Perot Systems Corporation (Perot Systems), whereby Legacy Marketing agreed to transfer its third party administration services function and the employees who provide these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions.  The estimated time to complete the transition of these administrative services to Perot was 18 months.  Accordingly, the Company reviewed the remaining estimated useful life of internal use software associated with its administrative business and reduced the remaining useful life to 18 months for the affected internal use software assets.  34    j.  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  In accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which was primarily codified into ASC360  Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company reviews long-lived assets and intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.  Measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets is based upon managements estimate of undiscounted future cash flows.  The Company periodically reviews capitalized internal use software and product models/enhancements to determine if the carrying value is fully recoverable.  If there are future cash flows directly related to the software or product models/enhancements or the business unit of which it is a part, as applicable, we record an impairment loss when the present value of the future cash flows is less than the carrying value.  If software, or components of software, or product models/enhancements in development are abandoned, the Company takes a charge to write off the capitalized amount in the period the decision is made to abandon it.  k.  Redeemable Common Stock  Redeemable common stock is carried at the greater of the issuance value or the redemption value.  Periodic adjustments to reflect increases or decreases in redemption value are recorded as accretion, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings.  The Company is currently unable to redeem its redeemable common stock due to restrictions in California corporation law.  l.  Derivative Financial Instruments  The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which was primarily codified into ASC815  Hedging and Derivatives.ASC815 requires the Company to measure all derivatives at fair value and to recognize them in the balance sheet as an asset or liability.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the derivative are reported as other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings.  Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not considered hedging instruments and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the current period.  m.  Income Taxes  The Company provides deferred taxes based on the enacted tax rates in effect on the dates temporary differences between the book and the tax bases of assets and liabilities reverse.  n.  Payment of Sales Commissions  Under the terms of  Legacy's marketing agreements with each carrier, they provide that for the sales of insurance policies placed in-force, Legacy is paid a marketing allowance and commission override based on the premium amount of the underlying policy.  Legacy is also responsible for facilitating payment of commissions from the carrier to the producer who sold the policy.  Each producer is an independent contractor of Legacy and must be appointed with the carrier in order to receive such commission.  Because Legacys role is to serve as an agent for the commission payment processing and to maintain a liability for any unpaid sales commissions, the Company pays the commissions to its producers but records the revenue based on the net amount retained. The Company paid out approximately $59,506,000, $32,943,000, and $36,606,000 in sales commissions to its producers for the periods 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. This information is not captured as revenue or expense but is recorded net under the guidance provided by EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, which was primarily codified into ASC605  Revenue Recognition  o.  Stock Options  The Company measures and recognizes stock based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments, which was primarily codified into ASC718  Compensation  Stock Compensation.  ASC718 requires compensation expense related to share-based payment transactions, measured at the grant date fair value, to be recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award.  The Company issues new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.  35    p.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which was primarily codified into ASC 820  Fair Value Measurements.This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820, for our financial assets and liabilities.  The adoption of this portion of ASC 820 did not have any effect on our financial position or results of operations and we do not expect the adoption of the provisions of ASC 820 related to non-financial assets and liabilities to have an effect on our financial position or results of operations  In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which was primarily codified into ASC 825  Financial Instruments. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  ASC 825 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company adopted of ASC 825 as of January 1, 2008 and it did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations(SFAS 141R), which was primarily codified into ASC 805  Business Combinations.. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  ASC 805 also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  This statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2009.  The Company expects the adoption of ASC 805 to have a material impact on future acquisitions.  In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,which was primarily codified into ASC 810 - Consolidation.This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is prohibited.  Adoption of ASC 810 is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities- an amendment of SFAS No. 133, which was primarily codified into Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging, in the ASC. This statementenhances the disclosure requirement of derivative and hedging activities by providing adequate information on how such activities impact an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flow. This is intended to improve the transparency of financial reporting related to derivative and hedging activities. Our adoption of ASC 815 was effective beginning January 1, 2009, and did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,which was primarily codified into ASC 105  Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.The statement identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.  This Statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principle.Adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts, an interpretation of SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises,which was primarily codified into ASC 944  Financial Services - Insurance.  The statement helps resolve diversity resulting in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities because of differing views about when a loss has been incurred.  In addition, the Statement clarifies the financial reporting requirements under SFAS No. 60 of financial guarantee insurance contracts for better comparability.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008.  Adoption of ASC 944 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  36    In April 2008, the FASB Staff Position (FSP) issued FAS No. 142-3 Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,which was primarily codified into ASC 350  Intangibles  Goodwill and Other,to amend the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under ASC 805  Business Combinations,and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption prohibited.  Adoption of ASC 350 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In May 2009, The FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events,which was primarily codified into Topic 855  Subsequent Eventsin the ASC. This guidance establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It alerts all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of interim and annual financial statements being presented. This standard is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Therefore, we have performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued. Our adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment ofFASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, which has not yet been codified in the ASC.This statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets and the effects the transfer will have on its financial position, performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting beginning after November 15, 2009. Adoption of SFAS No. 166 is not expected to have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,which was primarily codified into Topic 105  Generally Accepted Accounting Standardsin the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). ASC 105 identifies the sources of and framework for accounting principles used in preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The ASC will become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. This Statement is to modify the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and nonauthoritative. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  Adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Valueunder Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosuresin the ASC. The update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques:  1. A valuation technique that uses:  a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset  b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets.  2. Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820. Two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability.  The update also clarifies that a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability at the measurement date or when an identical liability is traded as an asset qualify as a Level 1 input. This update is effective for the first reporting period after issuance. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  37    In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets under Topic 860  Transfers and Servicingin the ASC. The update provides additional accounting and reporting standards for the transfers and servicing of financial assets and servicing rights by establishing additional criteria to determine if there is any continuing involvement with either the assets transferred or with the transferee. Some of the examples given in ASU 2009-16 of continuing involvement with the transferred financial assets are (a) servicing arrangements, (b) recourse arrangements, (c) guarantee arrangements, (d) purchase or redemption arrangements, (e) options written or held, (f) derivative financial instruments that are entered into contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the transfer, (g) arrangements to provide financial support, (h) pledges of collateral, and (i) the transferors beneficial interest in the transferred asset. Since the transfer of financial assets with continuing interests raises issues regarding whether the transfers should be considered sales (of all or part) or secured borrowings, the ASU 2009-16 establishes standards for resolving those issues. We have reviewed ASU 2009-16 and determined that the sale of partnership interest did not meet the criteria for any continuing involvement and thus, did not have a material effect on our results of operations.  In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements under Topic 820  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures as follows:  1. Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.  2. Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).  In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies existing disclosures as follows:  1. Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.  2. Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have any material effect on our financials.  In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements under Topic 855  Subsequent Events.The update provides amendments as follows:  1. An entity that either (a) is an SEC filer or (b) is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an over-the-counter market, including local or regional markets) is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. If an entity meets neither of those criteria, then it should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are available to be issued.  2. The glossary of Topic 855 is amended to include the definition of SEC filer. An SEC filer is an entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with either the SEC or, with respect to an entity subject to Section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the appropriate agency under that Section. It does not include an entity that is not otherwise an SEC filer whose financial statements are included in a submission by another SEC filer.  3. An entity that is an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SECs requirements.  4. The glossary of Topic 855 is amended to remove the definition of public entity. The definition of a public entity in Topic 855 was used to determine the date through which subsequent events should be evaluated. Based on the amendments, that definition is no longer necessary for purposes of Topic 855.  5. The scope of the reissuance disclosure requirements is refined to include revised financial statements only. The term revised financial statementsis added to the glossary of Topic 855. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised either as a result of correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  ASU 2010-09 is effective upon issuance of the update. The adoption of this update did not have any material effect on our financials.  38    2.  Discontinued Operations  On May 31, 2007, Regan Holding and two of its subsidiaries, Legacy Financial and Legacy Advisory Services Inc., entered into an agreement with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation whereby Legacy Financial transferred its registered representatives and customer accounts to Multi-Financial Securities Corporation.  Under the agreement, on September 28, 2007, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation paid Legacy Financial Services $1 million (11.5%) of the aggregate gross dealer concessions earned at Legacy Financial Services between May 1, 2006, and April 30, 2007, by those transferred representatives who were, as of the measurement date (as defined in the agreement), registered with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation and in good standing with the FINRA.  In addition, on each of the first four anniversary dates of the measurement date, subject to certain conditions, Multi-Financial Securities Corporation is obligated to pay Legacy Financial Services an amount representing up to four and a half percent (4.5%) of each transferred representatives aggregate gross dealer concessions earned with Multi-Financial Securities Corporation during the one year period prior to such anniversary date.  At December 31, 2008, Legacy Financial did not meet the specified terms in order to receive a second payment from Multi-Financial Securities Corporation and did not receive any payments related to this agreement as of December 31, 2009.  The Company recognized a $1 million gain on the transfer of Legacy Financials registered representatives and customer accounts to Multi-Financial Securities Corporation in 2007, and as a result Legacy Financial had net income of $133,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.  Legacy Financials results are being reported as discontinued operations.  On our consolidated balance sheet, Legacy Financials assets consist of $166,000 in prepaid expenses and $183,000 in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 and $294,000 in prepaid expenses as of December 31, 2008.  Legacy Financials liabilities consist of  $213,000 in accrued liabilities and $115,000 in accounts payable as of December 31, 2009 and $291,000 in accrued liabilities and $75,000 in accounts payable as of December 31, 2008.  On January 25, 2007, prospectdigital LLC (prospectdigital), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, sold certain of its assets, which primarily included fixed assets and other miscellaneous operating assets, to PD Holdings LLC (PD Holdings).  In addition, PD Holdings agreed to assume certain liabilities of prospectdigital.  The action was taken in a continuing effort to reduce our operating expenses, as prospectdigital continued to sustain losses through the date of sale. Prospectdigital is being reported as a discontinued operation for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.  On our consolidated balance sheet, prospectdigitals assets consist of $29,000 in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2009 and $28,000 in accounts receivable as of December 31, 2008.  Prospectdigitals liabilities consist of $23,000 in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2009 and $32,000 in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2008.  We incurred an $189,000 loss on the sale of prospectdigitals assets in 2007.  Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer, and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, are the primary owners of PD Holdings.  In connection with the sale, the Company also entered into a service agreement with PD Holdings, pursuant to which subsidiaries of the Company provide certain administrative services to PD Holdings, for a fee equal to the cost of the services provided.  Prospectdigital received $116,000 in consideration of the sale, which was greater than the estimated fair value of the assets of prospectdigital being sold, as determined by a third-party independent valuation.  The amount of consideration was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company.   In January 2006, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of Values Financial Network (VFN).  The Company incurred insignificant costs in connection with exiting the operations. As of December 31, 2009, VFN was dissolved.  3.

1,655,000   39    Effective October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing entered into an agreement with a subsidiary of Perot Systems Corporation, whereby Legacy Marketing agreed to transfer its third party administration services function and certain employees who provide these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions.  As a result of this transaction, Legacy Marketing recognized a non-cash internal use software impairment charge of approximately $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.  On May 23, 2008, the Company sold its office building in Rome, Georgia for $3.5 million for a gain of $214,000.  Proceeds from the sale of the building were used to repay the mortgage on the property, the outstanding balance of which was $2.6 million.  Throughout 2009, the Company retired $109,000 in unused hardware and purchased $40,000 in new computer hardware. Other changes in our fixed assets resulted in the addition of $37,000 in computer hardware and $35,000 in equipment that we acquired at the end of a lease, both of which have been fully recognized in accumulated depreciation, and the addition of $84,000 in equipment captured as capital leases, of which $15,000 has been depreciated as of December 31, 2009 and recognized in depreciation expense for 2009.  Total accumulated depreciation for all capital lease assets as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $50,000 and $15,000, respectively.  4.

Notes and Other Borrowings  On June 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with an unrelated third-party for $561,000. The note is secured by certain asset-based trail commissions and interest on the unpaid principal accrues daily at a rate of 7% per annum with payments of principal to be made in installments. As of December 31, 2009, the net balance of the note is $309,000 with the remaining installment of $75,000 paid on January 15, 2010. The unpaid balance, plus $5,000 in accrued interest, of approximately $239,000 is due on April 15, 2010.  On September 8, 2008, the Company entered into a Line of Credit Promissory Note with Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer and Preston Pitts, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company of which $225,000 has been advanced.  Interest on the unpaid principal accrues monthly at a rate of 6% per annum.  Principal and interest are due upon demand.  On June 30, 2009, the note plus accrued interest was paid in full.  On March 26, 2008, the Companys subsidiary, Legacy Marketing Group (LMG), entered into a sale and assignment agreement to sell and assign all rights, title and interest in certain asset based trail commissions to Legacy TM, a limited partnership (the Partnership), for a Class A limited partnership interest in the Partnership and $6.5 million.  LMGs Class A limited partnership interest is unencumbered.  The transaction closed on March 26, 2008.  Through the Class A limited partnership interest, LMG received for a one-year period a 33.33% beneficial interest in the proceeds from the trail commissions on the policies existing on the closing date, and in perpetuity a 100% interest in the proceeds from trail commissions earned on new policies placed in force after the closing date.  The trail commission revenue is recorded into income when it has been received.  Simultaneously with the sale of the Class A limited partnership interest, the Partnership sold to Lynda L. Pitts and R. Preston Pitts the Class B limited partnership interest in exchange for the guarantee of $6.5 million in debt that the Partnership incurred to acquire the trail commissions.  The holders of the Class B limited partnership interest received for a one-year period a 66.66% interest in the proceeds of the trail commissions on existing policies as of the closing date, and thereafter became entitled to receive a 100% interest in the proceeds from such assigned trail commissions.  Lynda L. Pitts, Chief Executive Officer, and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, each of whom is also a director of the Company, are the general partners of the Partnership and together own all of the Class B interests in the Partnership.  As a part of the agreement, LMG was not obligated to repurchase or require the Partnership to return the asset under any conditions.  40    LMG received $6.5 million in cash for its Class B interest from the Partnership.  To accomplish the cash settlement, the Partnership and its general partners, Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer, each of whom is a director of the Company, pledged the Class B interest in order to obtain funds to finance the transaction.  The Partnership executed a loan agreement, promissory note and commercial pledge agreement to which LMG was not a party and in which it asserted no conditions.  The general partners, Lynda Pitts and R. Preston Pitts who are partners in the Class B partnership each executed a commercial pledge agreement of their Legacy TM partnership interests and other assets as a condition for funding.  LMG was not a party and asserted no conditions in regard to the pledge agreements.   LMG not only confirmed that it had no interest in the Class B interest, but it also confirmed the Partnership and the Pittses had the right to pledge the Class B interest.  The business purpose of the retention of the Class A interest through Legacy TM is because we had to do a general assignment of the rights and title of all asset-based trail commissions in accordance with each carrier agreement rather than a limited or restricted assignment.  Consequently, the future rights to the trail commissions associated to the policies in force after the sale date (March 26, 2008) were allocated to the Class A interest and ultimately inure to LMG.  Any trail commissions that might be received on policies placed in force after the sale date of March 26, 2008, which were specifically excluded from the loan transaction from the Bank, are allocated to the Class A partnership interest. This interest was not pledged as collateral for the Legacy TM loan. The Pittses have no financial interest in the Class A partnership and likewise, the Class A partnership was not pledged as collateral for the loan.  The loan between Legacy TM and the Bank of Marin (Bank) is a term loan with a fixed interest rate of 8% per annum. The term is five years and scheduled payments are due monthly. The Pittses had to make personal guarantees which included using their personal real estate (other assets) as a part of that guarantee. The Pittses, not LMG, are individually responsible for the obligation.  As a limited partner, LMG has no liability for the debits of the Partnership.  The contractual language also clarifies the Pitts role as general partners:  The general partner will have exclusive management and control of the business partnership, and all decisions regarding the management and affairs of the partnership will be made by the general partner.  The general partner will have all the rights and powers of general partners as provided in the [California Revised Limited Partnership] Act and as otherwise provided by law.  Based on the structure of the transaction and contractual language, the Company accounted for the transaction as a sale according with the guidance of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities  a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,which was primarily codified in ASC860  Transfers and Servicing,EITF 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues, which was primarily codified in ASC605  Revenue Recognition,and FASB Statement No. 77, Reporting by Transferors for Transfers of Receivables with Recourse,which was primarily codified in ASC860  Transfers and Servicing.  The annuity products, as defined in the Sale of a Partnership Interest & Assignment of Asset Based Trail Commissions agreement, were certain fixed annuity products sold by LMG on behalf of American National Insurance Company, OM Financial Life Insurance Company/Americom Life, Transamerica Life Insurance Company, IL Annuity and Insurance Company, and Investors Insurance Corporation where LMG, in accordance with each carriers marketing agreement, would earn monthly a specified number of basis points on each annuitys cash value for as long as each annuity remained in-force.  At the time of closing, we valued over 65,000 fixed annuity products that were in-force as of that date and had a trail commission due to LMG.  The rights to the trail commissions with respect to policies that were terminated prior to the closing date were not transferred to the partnership as there would have been no continuing value.  In determining the $6.5 million value for the Class B interest, we contracted an outside consultant to perform financial projections based on policies placed in-force as of December 31, 2007 for those carriers listed above and applied certain key assumptions such as lapse rates, growth rates for accumulation values, rates of partial withdrawal, mortality rates, discount rates, and age of policies.  This resulted in the seller and the purchaser agreeing upon $6.5 million as a fair price for the sale of the Class B interest.  LMG will receive through the Class A partnership interest, on any policies placed in force after March 26, 2008, 100% of the proceeds from the trail commissions.  For the period ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, LMG received approximately $43,000 and $4,000, respectively, in trail commissions for these policies.  The Class A interest is not expected to have a significant impact on our future operating results.  A special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company comprising the independent directors, Ute Scott-Smith, J. Daniel Speight, Jr. and Donald Ratajczak, approved the amount of consideration.  In connection with the committees deliberations the Company obtained a fairness opinion from an independent third party stating that the total value of the transaction to the Company was within an acceptable range of estimated fair values of the future trail commission cash flows.  A portion of the proceeds was used to pay the $6 million note payable, plus accrued interest, to Washington National Insurance Company and interest accrued thereon.  The remainder of the proceeds was available for general corporate purposes.  41    The Company had a mortgage on its office building in Rome, Georgia.  The outstanding balance of the note was $2.6 million as of December 31, 2007.  On May 23, 2008, the Company sold its office building in Rome, Georgia for $3.5 million for a gain of $214,000.  Proceeds from the sale of the building were used to repay the mortgage on the property, the outstanding balance of which was $2.6 million.  In 2007, the Company obtained margin loans from its investment broker for general corporate purposes.  The loans bear interest at the lenders base lending rate plus a surcharge based on the amount of the loans (8.5% at December 31, 2007), and are collateralized by the Companys investment portfolio.  As there was no stated maturity date the Company had included the entire balance of $3.9 million as of December 31, 2007, in the current portion of notes payable and other borrowings. On October 9, 2008, the Company liquidated its investment portfolio for $5.4 million.  The proceeds were used to repay the loans from its investment broker, the outstanding balance of which was $4.3 million.  On July 20, 2006, Legacy Marketing entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Washington National Insurance Company (the Lender).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Lender made a non-revolving multiple advance term loan (the Term Loan) to Legacy Marketing totaling $6.0 million.  On April 12, 2007, Legacy Marketing amended certain terms of the Credit Agreement through the execution of Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the Amended Agreement) and (1) extended the final maturity of the loan under the Credit Agreement from April 1, 2012, to December 31, 2012; (2) changed certain of the requirements for mandatory prepayments under the Credit Agreement; (3) changed certain terms of the financial covenants specified in the Credit Agreement; and (4) revised certain definitions contained in the Credit Agreement.  On March 28, 2008, the balance due of $6.0 million, plus accrued interest, on the Credit Agreement was repaid.  Notes and other borrowings at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:  December 31,20092008Current portion of notes payable and other borrowingsShort-term borrowing$309,000$-Line of Credit-230,000Total current portion of notes payable and other borrowings309,000230,000Total notes and loans payable$309,000$230,000  6.  Deferred Compensation Payable  The Company sponsors a qualified defined contribution 401(k) plan, which is available to all employees.  The 401(k) plan allows employees to defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 70% of their annual compensation as contributions to the 401(k) plan, subject to a maximum of $16,500 and catch-up contributions of $5,500.  The Company typically matches 50% of each employees contributions up to 6% of their annual compensation.  The Companys matching contributions were $120,000, $134,000, and $223,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  The Company also sponsors a non-qualified tax deferred compensation plan, which is available to certain employees who, because of Internal Revenue Code limitations, are prohibited from contributing the maximum percentage of salary to the 401(k) Plan.  Under this deferred compensation plan, certain employees may defer, on a pre-tax basis, a percentage of annual compensation, including bonuses.  The Company typically matches 50% of each employees contributions up to a maximum of 6% of annual compensation, less amounts already matched under the 401(k) plan.  Each year, Legacy evaluates the interest in Deferred Compensation Plan and the cost benefit of holding an open enrollment. In the last few years, participation in the plan has been low. As of November 1, 2008, the Company decided not to hold an open enrollment for participation in 2009. The Company did not make any matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.  As of December 31, 2009, cumulative investment gains (losses), including distributions, resulted in an ending balance of $404,000. As of December 31, 2008, employee contributions, including cumulative investment gains (losses) and distributions, resulted in an ending balance of $361,000.  42    The Company also sponsors a non-qualified tax deferred compensation plan under which producers who earn a minimum of $100,000 may defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 50% of annual commissions.  In addition, the Company will match producer contributions for those producers who earn over $250,000 in annual commissions at rates ranging from 2% to 5% of amounts deferred, depending on the level of annual commissions earned.  Each year, Legacy evaluates the interest in Deferred Compensation Plan and the cost benefit of holding an open enrollment. In the last few years, participation in the plan has been low. As of November 1, 2008, the Company decided not to hold an open enrollment for participation in 2009. During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, matching contributions related to the producer commission deferral plan were $0, $2,000, and $1,000, respectively.  As of December 31, 2009, cumulative investment gains (losses), including distributions, resulted in an ending balance of $4.6 million. As of December 31, 2008, Producer contributions and Company matching contributions, including cumulative investment gains and distributions, resulted in an ending balance of $5 million. The liability to the employee or producer is credited or charged based on indexes selected by the participant.  All contributions made to and earnings incurred thereon the employee and producer non-qualified tax deferred compensation plans are considered deemed investments and are not to be considered or construed as an actual investment of funds.  The participants deemed investment is administered by a third-party to reflect the respective market activity and in turn, the fair value of the liability to the Company.  In addition, the employee or producer who is a participant in the plan shall remain at all times an unsecured creditor of the Company.  Both of the Companys non-qualified deferred compensation plans follow the guidelines of the Internal Revenue Code 409A (IRC 409A).  In 2008, the IRS mandated that all companies offering such plans be in compliance with IRC 409A by December 31, 2008.  The Company has successfully complied with these requirements within the IRS established time frame.  7.  Sales Incentive Program  During 2009, 2008 and 2007, Legacy Marketing initiated sales incentive programs for its independent insurance producers and its top producers (Wholesalers), which granted bonuses to the producers and Wholesalers based upon their achievement of predetermined monthly sales targets. The Company recorded expense of $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009, related to these programs, of which $353,000 was paid as of December 31, 2009.    The Company recorded expense of $642,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008, related to these programs, of which $321,000 was paid as of December 31, 2008.  The Company recorded expense of $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2007, related to these programs, of which $707,000was paid as of December 31, 2007. The amounts expensed are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  8.  Commitments and Contingencies  The Company leases office and warehouse premises and certain office equipment under non-cancelable operating leases.  Related rent expense of $1.2 million, $1.2 million, and $1.3 million, is included in occupancy costs for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  Total rentals for leases of equipment included in equipment expense were $93,000, $461,000, and $653,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.  The Companys future minimum annual lease commitments under all non-cancelable operating and capital leases as of December 31, 2009 are as follows:  Year Ended

Pitts, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of the Companys Board of Directors, upon the death of Mrs. Pitts, the Company would have the option (but not the obligation) to purchase from Mrs. Pitts estate all shares of common stock that were owned by Mrs. Pitts at the time of her death, or were transferred by her to one or more trusts prior to her death.  In addition, upon the death of Mrs. Pitts, her heirs would have the option (but not the obligation) to sell their inherited shares to the Company.  The purchase price to be paid by the Company shall be equal to 125% of the fair market value of the shares.  As of December 31, 2009, the Company believes that 125% of the fair market value of the shares owned by Mrs. Pitts was equal to $562,000.  The Company has purchased life insurance coverage for the purpose of funding this potential obligation upon Mrs. Pitts death.  The Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  Although it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these cases, management believes, based on discussions with legal counsel, that the ultimate disposition of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.  Under both of the Companys employee and producer non-qualified deferred compensation plans, the Company pays out distributions that have come due for that year in accordance with the each of the deferred compensation participants irrevocable election: attainment age, termination, or the early of both.  In 2009, the Company paid out $1.3 million, which includes the amount that was converted into a note payable, and expects to pay out $549,000 in 2010.  However, the Company reserves the right to delay or suspend a payment that may jeopardize the Companys financial condition, as outlined in the IRS regulation 401A.  9.  Redeemable Common Stock Between 1990 and 1992, the Company issued Series A and Series B redeemable common stock to certain shareholders.  The Company is obligated to repurchase the redeemable common stock at the current fair market value.  Because there is no active trading market for the Companys stock that would establish market value, the Companys Board of Directors typically approve a redemption value for Series A redeemable common stock and for Series B redeemable common stock based on the stock valuation prepared by management.  However, the Company is currently unable to redeem its redeemable common stock due to restrictions in the California corporations law.

Redeemable common stock is carried at the greater of the issuance value or the redemption value.  10.  Stock Options and Stock Awards  The Company currently sponsors two stock-based compensation plans.  Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, as estimated by management, except for incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Companys outstanding stock, where the exercise price equals 110% of the estimated fair value.  Both plans are administered by committees, which are appointed by the Companys Board of Directors.  44    Producer Option Plan  Under the Regan Holding Corp. Producer Stock Option and Award Plan (the Producer Option Plan), the Company may grant to Legacy Marketing producers and Legacy Financial registered representatives shares of the Companys common stock and non-qualified stock options (the Producer Options) to purchase the Companys common stock.  A total of 12.5 million shares have been reserved for grant under the Producer Option Plan.  We did not grant any stock options in 2009, 2008 or 2007.  There were no shares of Series A common stock awarded to non-employees during 2009, 2008 and 2007.  Employee Option Plan  Under the Regan Holding Corp. 1998 Stock Option Plan (the Employee Option Plan), the Company may grant to employees and directors incentive stock options and non-qualified options to purchase the Companys common stock (collectively referred to herein as Employee Options).  A total of 8.5 million shares have been reserved for grant under the Employee Option Plan.  The Employee Options generally vest over four or five years and expire in ten years, except for incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Companys stock, which expire in five years.  The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option valuation model.  The estimated fair value of employee stock option awards is amortized over the awards vesting period on a straight-line basis.  There were no stock options awarded in 2009, 2008 or 2007.

Income Taxes  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized as temporary differences between amounts reported in the financial statements and the future tax consequences attributable to those differences that are expected to be recovered or settled.  The income tax (benefit) provision attributable to our continuing and discontinued operations was as follows:  For the Year Ended December 31,200920082007Continuing operations$285,000$213,000$5,000Discontinued operations(15,000)(97,000)5,000Total$270,000$116,000$10,000  The provision for (benefit from) federal and state income taxes from continuing operations consist of amounts currently payable (receivable) and amounts deferred, which for the periods indicated, are shown below: For the Year Ended December 31,200920082007Current income taxes:Federal$32,000$21,000$-State253,000192,0005,000Total current285,000213,0005,000Deferred income taxes:FederalStateTotal deferredIncome tax provision (benefit)$285,000$213,000$5,000   46     The Companys deferred tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following:  December 31,20092008Producer stock option and stock awards$ 27,000$ 36,000Producer deferred compensation1,977,0002,117,000Accrued sales convention costs94,000-Deferred gain on sale/leaseback of building640,000750,000Federal net operating loss carryforward6,680,0007,601,000Federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforward246,000214,000State net operating loss carryforward, net of federal taxes2,287,0002,303,000State alternative minimum tax credit carryforward,net of federal taxes177,000178,000Fixed assets depreciation188,000Other deferred tax assets, net of federal taxes371,000378,000Subtotal deferred tax assets12,687,00013,577,000Valuation allowance(12,541,000)(13,285,000)Subtotal deferred tax assets after valuation allowance146,000292,000Fixed assets depreciation(146,000)(292,000)Unrealized gains-Subtotal deferred tax liabilities(146,000)(292,000)Deferred tax assets, net$ -$ -  In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred tax assets will, or will not, be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible.  Due to cumulative losses in recent years, management established a valuation allowance of $12.5 million as of December 31, 2009.  This represents a net increase (decrease) in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of ($744,000) and $66,000 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The income tax provision (benefit) in 2009, 2008 and 2007 differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income (loss) as a result of the following:  For the Year Ended December 31,200920082007Federal income tax benefit at statutory rate (34%)880,000238,000(3,177,000)Increase (reductions) in income taxes resulting from:State franchise taxes, net of federal income tax benefit167,000126,0003,000Expired producer stock options unexercised8,00030,00028,000Valuation allowance for remaining producer stock options(7,000)(27,000)(25,000)Valuation allowance for federal net operating loss carryforwardand other temporary differences(823,000)(245,000)3,032,000Settlement of prior years federal income taxes-Valuation allowance for federal alternative minimum tax creditCarryforward49,00022,000-Intercompany adjustments for discontinued operations30,00074,000137,000Other(19,000)(5,000)7,000Income tax provision (benefit)285,000213,0005,000   47    As of December 31, 2009, the Company had federal and primary state net operating loss carryforwards of $19.6 million and $40.1 million, respectively.  On December 31, 2025, 2026 and 2027, $1.2 million, $12.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively, of the federal net operating losses will expire.  On December 31, 2014, $4.9 million of the state net operating losses will begin to expire.  The Company also has federal and state alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $246,000 and $268,000, respectively.  These credits do not have an expiration date.  Federal and state tax valuation allowances have been established for all of the federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and the federal and state tax credit carryforwards.  Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which was primarily codified into ASC740-10  Income Taxes.  This interpretation creates a two step approach for evaluation of uncertain tax positions.  Recognition (step one) occurs when an enterprise concludes that a tax position, based solely on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination.  Measurement (step two) determines the highest amount of benefit that more likely than not will be realized upon settlement.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense and these amounts are insignificant for all periods presented. The Company has not had an unrecognized tax benefit balance and for federal income tax purposes, the statute of limitations is open for tax years 2006 through 2009.  The adoption of ASC740-10 did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

A supplemental schedule is provided below reconciling the income tax expense (benefit) differences in 2009, 2008, and 2007 for discontinued operations from the statutory federal income tax rate.  The income tax provision (benefit) in 2009, 2008, and 2007 for discontinued operations differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to pretax income (loss) as a result of the following:   For the Year Ended December 31,200920082007Federal income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate (34%)- Discontinued Operations(28,000)(236,000)102,000Increase (reductions) in income taxes resulting from:State franchise taxes, net of federal income tax benefit(9,000)(65,000)3,000Increase (decrease) in valuation allowance for federal net operating loss carryforward and other temporary differences52,000278,00037,000Intercompany adjustments (facility fees)(30,000)(74,000)(137,000)Other---Income tax provision (benefit)  Discontinued Operations(15,000)(97,000)5,000   48    Under the intraperiod tax allocation requirements, the income tax provisions for the periods presented were allocated first to continuing operations with the remainder to discontinued operations. The consolidated income tax provision (benefit) is computed separately for each member of the consolidated group on a separate company return basis. Accordingly, all net operating loss carryforwards, temporary differences and valuation allowances in deferred taxes are accounted for on a separate company return basis. The intercompany adjustments (netting to zero) represent primarily the facility fees charged to Legacy Financial Services, Inc., a discontinued operation, by continuing operation members but eliminated in consolidation. For income tax purposes, the facility fees are not eliminated and are properly reflected by each respective member of the consolidated group. In 2009 and 2008, federal tax benefits of $823,000 and $245,000, respectively, relate to decreases in the federal valuation allowances for continuing operations. These decreases in the federal valuation allowances were due primarily to the utilization of prior year net operating loss carryforwards from continuing operations. 2009 and 2008 federal tax expense of $52,000 and $278,000, respectively, represents increases in the federal valuation allowances for discontinued operations. The increases in the federal valuation allowances were due primarily to the increases in the net operating loss carryforwards caused by the generation of additional 2009 and 2008 net operating losses by discontinued operations that were not utilized.  12.  Loss per Share  The basic and diluted income (loss) per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including shares of redeemable common stock.   For the Year EndedDecember 31,200920082007Income (loss) from continuing operations$2,304,000$488,000$(9,349,000)Loss from discontinued operation(67,000)(598,000)294,000Net Income (loss)2,237,000(110,000)(9,055,000)Weighted average shares used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per share amounts:24,076,00024,076,00024,076,000Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:Income (loss) from continuing operations$0.10$0.02$(0.39)Net Income (loss)$0.09$(0.00)$(0.38)   Outstanding options to purchase 1.9 million, 2.3 million, and 3.2 million shares of the Companys common stock on December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share for those periods, as the effect would have been antidilutive.  13.  Concentration of Risk  In 2009, Legacy Marketing sold and marketed its products primarily on behalf of four unaffiliated insurance carriers: Investors Insurance, Washington National, American National, and OM Financial (Americom).  The agreements with those carriers generated a significant portion of the Companys total consolidated revenue of $18.4 million:  200920082007Investors Insurance54%26%7%Washington National6%14%26%American National12%12%21%OM Financial (Americom)10%10%9%   49    Legacy Marketings revenues are derived primarily from sales and marketing of the following fixed annuity product series:  200920082007PremierMark(SM) series (Investors Insurance)36%22%5%RewardMark(SM) series (Washington National)6%14%26%BenchMark(SM) series (American National)11%11%19%AmeriMark Freedom (SM) series (OM Financial)10%10%9%  Effective October 17, 2007, Legacy Marketing entered into an agreement and strategic alliance with a subsidiary of Perot Systems, whereby Legacy Marketing agreed to transfer its third party administration services function and the employees who provide these services to Perot Systems in exchange for Perot Systems assumption of such administrative service functions.  Perot Systems will also become the exclusive provider of administrative services for Legacy Marketings future portfolio of annuity products.  Pursuant to this arrangement, the Company had a $21,172 and $0 payable to Perot Systems at December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.  In the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, Legacy Marketing received approximately $5.3 million, in gross revenue under the administrative agreements with carriers. The impact of the termination of our administrative services, based on the revenue earned and expenses incurred in 2007, reduced the Companys revenue and expenses for 2009 by approximately $3.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and for 2008 by approximately $2.4 million and $4 million, respectively. The termination of administrative agreements does not affect the commissions earned by Legacy Marketing on additional premiums received or assets under management with respect to the underlying insurance contracts.  14.  Sale/Leaseback of Office Building  On November 18, 2005, the Company sold its office buildings in Petaluma, California for $12.8 million.  Proceeds from the sale of the buildings were used to repay the mortgage on the properties, the outstanding balance of which was $7.0 million, and the remainder of the proceeds was allocated to working capital.  The Company and the third party buyer (the Buyer) further agreed to enter into a ten year lease agreement, concurrently with the sale of the buildings, whereby the Company leased back 71,612 square feet through March 14, 2007, and will continue to lease back 47,612 square feet for the remainder of the lease term.  The monthly base rent was $1.37 per square foot in 2009 and $1.33 per square foot in 2008 and will increase annually by three percent during the term of the lease, in addition to monthly taxes and operating expenses. Pursuant to the terms of the lease, the Company paid the Buyer a security deposit of $1.0 million and advance rent of $980,000.  The advance rent was utilized to pay the monthly base rent, monthly taxes and operating expenses during the first nine months of the lease term.  The security deposit will be reduced if the Company meets certain profitability criteria as specified in the lease agreement.  15.  Subsequent Events  The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet through the date, the consolidated financial statements are issued.  Management is currently pursuing a going private transaction in order to realize significant cost savings resulting from the termination of our current reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which will be achieved by reducing the total number of record holders of Regan Common Stock to below 300. On February 24, 2010, a hearing was held before the California Department of Corporations, as requested by the Company and The Legacy Alliance Inc. (Legacy Alliance) to rule on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of securities outlined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 1, 2009, between Regan and Legacy Alliance, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 29, 2010 (as amended, the Merger Agreement).  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, if shareholder approval is obtained, the Company intends to merge with a Delaware corporation, Legacy Alliance, with Legacy Alliance surviving the merger (the Reorganization).  50    Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, any shareholder who is the record holder of less than 4,500 shares of Regan Series A Common Stock and/or Regan Series B Common Stock (together, Regan Common Stock) will receive $0.10 in cash in exchange for each share of Regan Common Stock that he or she owns, and any shareholder who is the record holder of 4,500 or more shares of Regan Common Stock will receive one share of Legacy Alliance common stock (Legacy Alliance Common Stock) for each block of 4,500 shares of Regan Common Stock that he or she owns and $0.10 in cash per share for any remaining shares of Regan Common Stock in lieu of any fractional shares of Legacy Alliance Common Stock.  All stock options or other rights to acquire shares of Regan Common Stock held by Regan shareholders prior to the effective time of the Reorganization, including any that are unvested, will be vested pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and if unexercised prior to the effective time of the Reorganization, will terminate.  Effective February 24, 2010, the California Department of Corporations ruled that the terms and conditions of the offer and sale of the securities in the proposed Reorganization Plan were fair and were approved. As a result, a qualification by permit was issued to Legacy Alliance.  The permit allows the securities to be issued by Legacy Alliance in connection with the Reorganization to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  On March 30, 2010, the Company mailed out a notice of special meeting of shareholders to be held on April 20, 2010 along with a proxy statement for solicitation of shareholder approval of the Reorganization.  Additional Information and Where to Find It  In connection with the Reorganization, Regan has filed on March 29, 2010 with the SEC a proxy statement on Schedule 14A for solicitation of shareholder approval of the Reorganization.  Since the Reorganization will constitute a going-private transaction under Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act, Regan has filed on March 29, 2010 with the SEC a Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3.  Before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the Reorganization, investors and shareholders of Regan are urged to read the proxy statement and any other relevant documents carefully once they are received because they will contain important information about Regan, Legacy Alliance and the proposed Reorganization.  Investors and shareholders may obtain free copies of these documents through the SECs web site at www.sec.gov.  In addition, copies will be available free of charge by submitting a written request to R. Preston Pitts, President, at 2090 Marina Avenue, Petaluma, California 94954.

Controls and Procedures  Disclosure Controls and Procedures  As of December 31, 2009, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the material financial and non-financial information required to be disclosed in our annual report and filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported timely within the time period specified in the SECs rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Act, of 1934 as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuers management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on our evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2009, are effective at such reasonable assurance level.  . Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Companys internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and asset dispositions; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transaction are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding the prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements. Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projects of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this evaluation, our management used the framework established in Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that the Companys internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2009. This management report on internal control over financial reporting shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Managements report was not subject to an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Officer   55    (1) The amount includes matching contributions made by the Company pursuant to its 401(k) Plan and non-qualified tax deferred compensation plan.  The 401(k) Plan is available to all employees and allows employees to defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 70% of their annual compensation as contributions to the 401(k) plan, subject to a maximum of $16,500 and catch-up contributions of $5,500.  The Company typically matches 50% of each employees contributions up to 6% of their annual compensation, subject to a maximum of $7,500.  The Company also sponsors a non-qualified tax deferred compensation plan, which is available to certain employees who, because of Internal Revenue Code limitations, are prohibited from contributing the maximum percentage of salary to the 401(k) Plan.  Under this deferred compensation plan, certain employees may defer, on a pre-tax basis, a percentage of annual compensation, including bonuses.  The Company typically matches 50% of each employees contributions up to a maximum of 6% of annual compensation, less amounts already matched under the 401(k) plan.  (2) Includes life insurance premiums paid by the Company for the benefit of a named executive officer.  (3) Includes amounts of base salary the executive officer elected to defer to the Companys unfunded nonqualified compensation plan.  We do not have any employment arrangements with our executive officers.  Our Compensation Committee annually reviews executive compensation levels and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors, which has overall responsibility for approving executive compensation.  The Compensation Committee typically sets annual base salaries and may also recommend discretionary bonuses as a percentage of base salary. No bonuses or plan-based awards were granted to our executive officers in the fiscal years ended in 2009, 2008, or 2007.  The Company provides a defined contribution plan, which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The trustee is Prudential Bank and Trust, FSB. The effective date of the plan is 7/1/1994. The Regan Holding Corp 401(k) plan allows all eligible employees to have a specified percentage or dollar amount withheld from their salary and have such amount deposited directly into a 401(k) account on their behalf on a pre-tax basis through salary deferral. Participants are 100% vested in their salary deferrals. In addition to salary deferrals, the plan allows for employer matching contributions which vest at 20% each year. The Company determines each year whether top heavy rules are satisfied for the plan and work diligently to enroll all employees through automatic enrollment. We adhere to the IRS limits each year for maximum deferral and catch-up contributions. Upon termination of employment, participants may be eligible for a distribution from the Plan. The Plan is designed to comply with the requirements of ERISA 404(c), and participants have the right to direct the investment of Plan assets.  The Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan was adopted January 1, 1998.  The Plan was established to provide certain key employees with the opportunity to defer receipt of their base salary and annual bonus to provide an additional retirement benefit to the extent their benefits under the Companys 401(k) Plan have been limited.  The Plan is administered to operate as an unfunded nonqualified compensation plan for tax purposes and Title 1 of ERISA.  At the time of participation in the Plan, the key employee elects the timing and method of distribution of his or her vested accrued benefit.  Such distribution can occur when the employee terminates employment with the Company or when the key employee reaches the attained age predesignated by them at the time of election, or the earlier of the two.  The method of distribution can be in the form of a lump sum, equivalent annual installments over 5 years, or equivalent annual installments over 10 years.  Once elected, the designation is irrevocable and applies to all deferrals under the Plan.  The Plan does provide for early distribution in the event of severe financial hardship or unforeseeable emergency, subject to the provisions of the Plan.  Each plan year, the elected deferred amounts are credited to an account for the benefit of the key employee.  The Company selects certain mutual funds, insurance company separate accounts, indexed rates or other method for purposes of crediting earnings to each key employees account.  The employee elects which options he or she wishes to participate in.  The Company may discontinue, substitute or add investments options as administratively practical.  56    Outstanding Equity Awards as of December 31, 2009  OPTION AWARDSName and PrincipalNumber of Securities Underlying Unexercised Options: ExercisableNumber of Securities Underlying Unexercised Options: UnexercisableEquity Incentive Plan Awards: Number of Securities Underlying Unexercised Unearned OptionsOption Exercise PriceOption ExpirationPosition(#) (1)(#)(#)($)Date(a)(b)(c)(d)(e)(f)Lynda L.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence  Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement with Lynda L. Pitts, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of the Companys Board of Directors, upon the death of Ms. Pitts, the Company would have the option (but not the obligation) to purchase from Ms. Pitts estate all shares of Common Stock that were owned by Ms. Pitts at the time of her death, or were transferred by her to one or more trusts prior to her death.  In addition, upon the death of Ms. Pitts, her heirs would have the option (but not the obligation) to sell their inherited shares to the Company.  The purchase price to be paid by the Company shall be equal to 125% of the fair market value of the shares. As of December 31, 2009, the Company believes that 125% of the fair market value of the shares owned by Ms. Pitts was equal to $562,000.  The Company has purchased life insurance coverage for the purpose of funding this potential obligation upon Ms. Pitts death.  58    On March 26, 2008, the Companys subsidiary, Legacy Marketing Group (LMG), entered into a sale and assignment agreement to sell and assign all rights, title and interest in certain asset based trail commissions to Legacy TM, a limited partnership (the Partnership), for a Class A limited partnership interest in the Partnership and $6.5 million.  LMGs Class A limited partnership interest is unencumbered.  The transaction closed on March 26, 2008.  Through the Class A limited partnership interest, LMG received for a one-year period a 33.33% beneficial interest in the proceeds from the trail commissions on the policies existing on the closing date, and in perpetuity a 100% interest in the proceeds from trail commissions earned on new policies placed in force after the closing date.  The trail commission revenue is recorded into income when it has been received.  Simultaneously with the sale of the Class A limited partnership interest, the Partnership sold to Lynda L. Pitts and R. Preston Pitts the Class B limited partnership interest in exchange for the guarantee of $6.5 million in debt that the Partnership incurred to acquire the trail commissions.  The holders of the Class B limited partnership interest received for a one-year period a 66.66% interest in the proceeds of the trail commissions on existing policies as of the closing date, and thereafter became entitled to receive a 100% interest in the proceeds from such trail commissions.  Lynda L. Pitts, Chief Executive Officer, and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, each of whom is also a director of the Company, are the general partners of the Partnership and together own all of the Class B interests in the Partnership.  As a part of the agreement, LMG was not obligated to repurchase or require the Partnership to return the asset under any conditions.  LMG received $6.5 million in cash for its Class B interest from the Partnership.  To accomplish the cash settlement, the Partnership and its general partners, Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer and R. Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer, each of whom is a director of the Company, pledged the Class B interest in order to obtain funds to finance the transaction.  The Partnership executed a loan agreement, promissory note and commercial pledge agreement to which LMG was not a party and in which it asserted no conditions.  The general partners, Lynda Pitts and R. Preston Pitts who are partners in the Class B partnership each executed a commercial pledge agreement of their Legacy TM partnership interests and other assets as a condition for funding.  LMG was not a party and asserted no conditions in regard to the pledge agreements.   LMG not only confirmed that it had no interest in the Class B interest, but it also confirmed the Partnership and the Pittses had the right to pledge the Class B interest.  The business purpose of the retention of the Class A interest through Legacy TM is because we had to do a general assignment of the rights and title of all asset-based trail commissions in accordance with each carrier agreement rather than a limited or restricted assignment.  Consequently, the future rights to the trail commissions associated to the policies in force after the sale date (March 26, 2008) were allocated to the Class A interest and ultimately inure to LMG.  Any trail commissions that might be received on policies placed in force after the sale date of March 26, 2008, which were specifically excluded from the loan transaction from the Bank, are allocated to the Class A partnership interest. This interest was not pledged as collateral for the Legacy TM loan. The Pittses have no financial interest in the Class A partnership and likewise, the Class A partnership was not pledged as collateral for the loan.  The loan between Legacy TM and the Bank of Marin (Bank) is a term loan with a fixed interest rate of 8% per annum. The term is five years and scheduled payments are due monthly. The Pittses had to make personal guarantees which included using their personal real estate (other assets) as a part of that guarantee. The Pittses, not LMG, are individually responsible for the obligation.  As a limited partner, LMG has no liability for the debits of the Partnership.  The contractual language also clarifies the Pitts role as general partners:  The general partner will have exclusive management and control of the business partnership, and all decisions regarding the management and affairs of the partnership will be made by the general partner.  The general partner will have all the rights and powers of general partners as provided in the [California Revised Limited Partnership] Act and as otherwise provided by law.  Based on the structure of the transaction and contractual language, the Company accounted for the transaction as a sale according with the guidance of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities  a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125,which was primarily codified in ASC860  Transfers and Servicing,EITF 88-18, Sales of Future Revenues, which was primarily codified in ASC605  Revenue Recognition,and FASB Statement No. 77, Reporting by Transferors for Transfers of Receivables with Recourse,which was primarily codified in ASC860  Transfers and Servicing.  The annuity products, as defined in the Sale of a Partnership Interest & Assignment of Asset Based Trail Commissions agreement, were certain fixed annuity products sold by LMG on behalf of American National Insurance Company, OM Financial Life Insurance Company/Americom Life, Transamerica Life Insurance Company, IL Annuity and Insurance Company, and Investors Insurance Corporation where LMG, in accordance with each carriers marketing agreement, would earn monthly a specified number of basis points on each annuitys cash value for as long as each annuity remained in-force.  At the time of closing, we valued over 65,000 fixed annuity products that were in-force as of that date and had a trail commission due to LMG.  The rights to the trail commissions with respect to policies that were terminated prior to the closing date were not transferred to the partnership as there would have been no continuing value.  59    In determining the $6.5 million value for the Class B interest, we contracted an outside consultant to perform financial projections based on policies placed in-force as of December 31, 2007 for those carriers listed above and applied certain key assumptions such as lapse rates, growth rates for accumulation values, rates of partial withdrawal, mortality rates, discount rates, and age of policies.  This resulted in the seller and the purchaser agreeing upon $6.5 million as a fair price for the sale of the Class B interest.  LMG will receive through the Class A partnership interest, on any policies placed in force after March 26, 2008, 100% of the proceeds from the trail commissions.  For the period ending December 31, 2009 and 2008, LMG received approximately $43,000 and $4,000, respectively, in trail commissions for these policies.  The Class A interest is not expected to have a significant impact on our future operating results..  On September 8, 2008, the Company issued a Line of Credit Promissory Note to Lynda Pitts, Chief Executive Officer and Preston Pitts, President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company.  Pursuant to the Note, Lynda Pitts and Preston Pitts have advanced $225,000 in principal amount to the Company.  Interest on the unpaid principal accrues monthly at a rate of 6% per annum.  As of June 30, 2009, the note plus accrued interest was paid in full.  Currently, Donald Ratajczak, Ute Scott-Smith and J. Daniel Speight, Jr. are the only independent directors of the Company as defined by the New York Stock Exchange.   Item 14.
