as "intended," "will be positioned," "expects," is or are "expected," "anticipates," and "anticipated." These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations. To the extent any of the
information contained herein constitutes a "forward-looking statement" as defined in Section 27 A(i)(1) of the Securities Act, the factors set forth under "Risk Factors" are
cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statement. Further, see "Glossary of Terms" for the definitions of
some of the capitalized and defined terms used herein. Unless indicated otherwise, "we," "us," "our," "SNTL" and "the Company" refer to SNTL Corporation. and its operating
subsidiaries.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

SNTL Corporation ("SNTL") was originally incorporated as Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. in California in 1985 and reincorporated in
Delaware in 1997. On April 18, 2001, the Company changed its name to SNTL Corporation. SNTL's two operating subsidiaries, SN Insurance Services, Inc. ("SNIS") and SN
Insurance Administrators, Inc. ("SNIA"), are a managing general agent and third party claims administrator, respectively, specializing in workers' compensation risks and services. SNTL employs
approximately 48 personnel capable of providing sales, underwriting, and loss control services to its prospective clients, which could include insurance companies, other insurance agents, and
individual policyholders. Included in SNTL's 48 employees, SNIS employs approximately 24 personnel capable of providing marketing and underwriting services to its prospective
clients, SNIA employs approximately 6 personnel capable of providing claims services to its prospective clients, and SNTL employs approximately 18 personnel providing accounting, management, and data
processing services to SNIS and SNIA. SNTL also owns a reinsurance company domiciled in the nation of Bermuda named Superior (Bermuda) Ltd ("SBL").

SNTL
is the ultimate parent of a group of five insurance companies that underwrote workers' compensation, and a limited amount of group health, insurance throughout the United States. On
March 3, 2000, the California Department of Insurance ("CDI") used administrative powers granted to it under the California Insurance Code to seize the assets and operations of four of
SNTL's wholly owned insurance subsidiaries domiciled in California, including Superior National Insurance Company ("SNIC"), Superior Pacific Casualty Company ("SPCC"), California
Compensation Insurance Company ("CalComp"), and Combined Benefits Insurance Company ("CBIC"), and on March 6, 2000, the CDI was granted permission by a California court to "conserve" the four
California domiciled insurance companies. The CDI seized and conserved our insurance companies because, after an examination of the insurance companies' financial condition (based on information
voluntarily provided by SNTL), the CDI determined that those companies did not have sufficient assets to pay their unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses. The fifth insurance company owned by
SNTL, Commercial Compensation Insurance Company ("CCIC"), which was domiciled in New York, was not seized or conserved on March 6, 2000. However, CCIC was later merged into Commercial
Compensation Casualty Company ("CCCC"), and CCCC was conserved by the CDI on June 6, 2000. See "California Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation."

On
April 26, 2000, SNTL, Holdings, SNIA and SNIS, (collectively, "the Chapter 11 companies") filed a petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of
California ("Bankruptcy Court") seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On October 31, 2001, the Chapter 11 companies filed their Chapter 11 Joint Plan of
Reorganization and Original Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court. The key component of SNTL's reorganization plan will be the preservation for, and utilization by, one or more
of SNTL's former stockholders or creditors, SNTL's tax

net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"). See "Chapter 11 Petition and Reorganization." See "Tax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards."

In
2001, we had no operating revenue to offset our expenses for operations, litigation, and the Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings. We had no operating revenue because we were no
longer receiving revenue from the underwriting and claims management agreements we entered into prior to the bankruptcy filing and we have not entered into any new underwriting and claims management
agreements. We do not anticipate entering into any arrangements that will produce operating revenue until after the Bankruptcy Court confirms our Plan of Reorganization. See "Front Company Business."

SNTL
filed a lawsuit in Bankruptcy Court on April 28, 2000, alleging that Foundation Health Corporation ("FHC"), Foundation Health Systems, Inc.("FHS"), and
Milliman & Robertson, Inc.("M&R"), actuary for FHC's insurance subsidiaries, defrauded SNTL when in 1998 FHC sold Business Insurance Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("BIG") to
SNTL knowing at the time of the sale that BIG was insolvent. SNTL alleges that M&R conspired with FHC and FHS and assisted in the fraud. SNTL seeks recovery from FHC, FHS, and M&R of at least
$300.0 million in damages, rescission of the BIG acquisition, indemnification of SNTL by FHC, FHS, and M&R from any damages suffered by SNTL, and the return to SNTL of the $285.0 million
that it paid FHC to acquire BIG, plus punitive damages, and reimbursement of SNTL's costs associated with the lawsuit. See Legal ProceedingsSuperior
National Insurance Group, Inc. v. Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and Milliman & Robertson, Inc."

The
Chapter 11 companies entered into a Settlement Agreement (the "Global Settlement Agreement") on September 8, 2000, regarding the separation of SNTL's operations
from those of the liquidating companies, the Chapter 11 companies' legal and economic rights after the CDI's conservation action, and compensation to SNTL for the seizure of SNTL's
operations by the CDI. The Global Settlement Agreement is the foundation of SNTL's reorganization plan. Absent the Global Settlement Agreement, it is unlikely a reorganization plan
would have been feasible without lengthy and costly litigation against the CDI. See "The Global Settlement Agreement."

Company Structure

SNTL has two direct, wholly owned subsidiaries: Holdings and Superior National Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a statutory business trust created under the laws of
the State of Delaware.

Holdings,
formerly Business Insurance Group, Inc., is an intermediate holding company and was the surviving company in its January 1999 merger with Superior Pacific
Insurance Group, Inc., a former wholly owned subsidiary of SNTL. Holdings owns ten, direct, wholly owned subsidiaries: SNIS, SNIA, InfoNet Management Systems, Inc. ("InfoNet"), Pacific
Insurance Brokerage, Inc. ("Pacific"), SBL, and the five liquidating companies as defined below in "California Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation." SNIS and SNIA are a
managing general agent and third party claims administrator, respectively, specializing in workers' compensation risks and services. InfoNet and Pacific are inactive. Holdings no longer controls the
assets and operations of the liquidating companies, but remains the legal owner of their common shares. See "Discontinued Insurance Company Operations."

We
formed the Trust in December 1997 for the sole purpose of issuing its Trust Preferred Securities, having an aggregate liquidation amount of $105.0 million, and investing
the proceeds of $105.0 million in an equivalent amount of SNTL's Senior Subordinated Notes. SNTL owns directly all of the common securities issued by the Trust, which SNTL
purchased for approximately $3.25 million. As a result of the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, the Trustee of the Trust has the right at any time to cause the holders of Preferred
Securities to exchange their securities for the Senior Subordinated Notes held by the Trust.

SBL
is a reinsurance company domiciled in the nation of Bermuda that was formed in September 1995 to facilitate the management of the run-off of SNIC's property and
casualty ("P&C") business. SBL is no longer reinsuring SNIC business under the terms of the Global Settlement Agreement between SNTL and the CDI. See "The Global Settlement Agreement."

Strategy

SNTL's strategy is to preserve or create as much value as possible out of the remainder of SNTL's operations, litigation assets, and
the value of SNTL's tax net operating loss carryforwards. If SNTL is able to preserve or create value from its remaining operations and assets, the funds will be used to satisfy, in
whole or in part, SNTL's outstanding debt and the claims of other creditors allowed in Bankruptcy Court, and to create as much stockholder value as possible from any residual. See
"California Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation." See "Legal Proceedings." See "Tax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards."

SNTL
believes that value can be preserved or created through the following strategies:

Operate a Managing General Agency and Third Party Administrator.SNIS and SNIA had operated through underwriting and claims
management agreements entered into prior to the bankruptcy filing. SNIS and SNIA plan to continue to provide similar services in the future after the reorganization of the Chapter 11 companies is
accomplished. A managing general agency is generally defined as a non-insurance company, subject to limited regulation, that provides many of the services of a fully-regulated insurance
company without taking insurance risk. SNIS plans to continue to perform marketing, underwriting, policy administration, collections, safety management, premium audit, and other services on a
fee-for-service basis. SNIS plans to enter into contracts with insurance and reinsurance companies to accept the insurance risk associated with the service arrangements it
undertakes on behalf of its clients. However, as of the date of this filing, we have not entered into any contracts and consequently we have no current source of operating income. See "Front Company
Business."

A
third party administrator is generally defined as a non-insurance company, subject to limited regulation, providing claims administration services generally undertaken by
the insurance company that accepts the insurance risk under an insurance contract. Sometimes insurance companies contract with other organizationsi.e., third party
administratorsto perform claims administration services that the insurance company does not wish to do itself. SNIA historically performed claims administration services for the
liquidating companies and the front companies, and plans to continue to provide claims administration services for other organizations after the reorganization of the Chapter 11 companies is
completed.

Realize the Value of SNTL's Tax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards.SNTL files a consolidated Federal income tax
return with its subsidiaries, including the liquidating companies. SNTL's consolidated tax net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") was approximately $1.0 billion
at December 31, 2000. SNTL is exploring ways to maximize the value of the NOLs for the benefit of SNTL's creditors and stockholders.

Discontinued Insurance Company Operations

SNTL is the ultimate parent of a group of five insurance companies that underwrote workers' compensation, and a limited amount of group health, insurance
throughout the United States. On March 3, 2000, the CDI used administrative powers granted it under the California Insurance Code to seize the assets and operations of four of
SNTL's wholly owned insurance subsidiaries domiciled in California, including SNIC, SPCC, CalComp, and CBIC. On March 6, 2000, the CDI was granted permission by a California
court to "conserve" the four California domiciled insurance companies. The fifth insurance company owned by SNTL, CCIC, which was domiciled in New York, was not seized or conserved on March 6,
2000. However, CCIC was later merged into CCCC, and CCCC was conserved by the CDI on June 6, 2000. On September 26, 2000, the CDI sought and received permission from the

3

---

California court to liquidate SNTL's insurance subsidiaries (referred to herein as the "liquidating companies"). See "California Insurance Department Seizure and
Conservation."

The
liquidating companies owned directly and indirectly by SNTL were one of the top ten underwriters of workers' compensation insurance in the United States, as measured by direct
written premiums. Accordingly, when we prepared our consolidated financial statements using GAAP, SNTL reported as a property and liability insurance company. We believe it is no longer relevant to
discuss and analyze SNTL's financial statements today in comparison with our financial statements filed in prior years, except by treating the liquidating companies as discontinued
operations, because the nature of our business is quite different as compared to all prior years. The following discussion explains our reasoning.

The
liquidating companies were regulated as property and casualty insurance companies, and virtually all of their revenues were workers' compensation premiums. Prior to our reclass to
discontinued operations, SNIC, SPCC, CalComp, CCIC and CBIC generated approximately 98.8% of SNTL's total $202.3 million of revenue in the nine months ending September 30,
1999.

When
the California domiciled insurance companies were conserved on March 6, 2000, and CCCC was conserved on June 6, 2000, their assets and operations, including their
books and records, were removed from SNTL's control and their daily operations were taken over by the CDI. The CDI seized and conserved our insurance companies because, after an
examination of the insurance companies' financial condition, using information voluntarily provided by SNTL, the CDI determined that those companies did not have sufficient assets to pay their unpaid
claim and claim adjustment expenses. We had performed our own analysis of our unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses as of December 31, 1999, and we agreed that our insurance companies did
not have sufficient assets to pay their claims. We advised the CDI of our opinion, as required by the California Insurance Code, whereupon the CDI seized, or attempted to seize, the entirety of
SNTL's operations, and expelled our senior management from SNTL's premises. See "California Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation." The seizure included all
systems and records required to run SNTL, and necessary to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements.

The
CDI sought and received permission from a California court to liquidate our insurance companies. The CDI placed the insurance companies into "liquidation" status because they lacked
sufficient cash and other assets required to pay their claims, and under the California Insurance Code the liquidating companies may only turn to the California Insurance Guarantee Association
("CIGA") to satisfy their obligations to pay claims upon the entry of an order of liquidation. Because of the "long-tail" nature of workers compensation insurance, insurance companies
placed into "liquidation" generally exist for many years, if not forever, and under California law the corporate ownership of the "liquidating" companies remains with SNTL.

We
have written off our investment in the insurance companies that the CDI seized, conserved, and placed into liquidation. Our reorganization plan does not contemplate that SNTL will
ever re-enter the property and liability insurance business as a risk-taking underwriter. Accordingly, we will not discuss or analyze SNTL's prior years property
and liability insurance business in this or any future filing with the SEC.

The
liquidating companies filed statements prepared in accordance with Statutory Accounting Practices ("SAP"), with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). The
liquidating companies' Statutory Annual Statements may be obtained from the CDI for the calendar year ended December 31, 1999. SAP is an accounting method prescribed or permitted by state
insurance regulators. The more significant differences from GAAP prior to January 1, 2001 are: (a) premium income is taken into operations over the periods covered by the policies,
whereas the related acquisition and commission costs are expensed when incurred; (b) deferred income taxes are not recognized; (c) certain assets, such as agents' balances over ninety
days due and prepaid expenses, are nonadmitted assets for statutory reporting purposes; (d) policyholder dividends are accrued when declared; (e) the cash flow statement is not

consistent with classifications and the presentation under GAAP; (f) bonds are recorded at amortized cost, regardless of trading activities; (g) loss and loss adjustment expense
reserves and unearned premium reserves are stated net of reinsurance; (h) minimum statutory reserves for losses in excess of the Company's estimates are required and (i) comprehensive
income is not presented. See also Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, where we provide supplementary data on the operations, assets and liabilities of the
liquidating companies.

California Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation

On March 3, 2000, the CDI used administrative powers granted to it under the California Insurance Code to seize the assets and operations of four of the
liquidating companies domiciled in California, including SNIC, SPCC, CalComp, and CBIC. On March 6, 2000, the CDI was granted permission by a California court to "conserve" the four liquidating
companies. On September 26, 2000, the CDI was granted permission by the Los Angeles Superior Court to liquidate the assets and operations of the liquidating companies. When the California
domiciled insurance companies were "conserved", that meant their assets and operations were removed from SNTL's control and their management was taken over by the CDI. The CDI seized
and conserved our insurance companies because they were "statutorily impaired." Under California law any insurance company that does not possess sufficient
assets to pay their unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses, and to maintain in addition a statutorily prescribed minimum level of capital, is considered statutorily impaired.

The
seizure of the entirety of SNTL's operations on March 3, 2000, including the ejection of SNTL's senior management from our corporate offices,
made corporate governance of, and compliance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission by SNTL virtually impossible during 2000 and through the middle of 2001. We
believed the CDI acted wrongly and lacked authority under governing laws and regulations to seize the Chapter 11 companies' assets and operations. We litigated these issues in Bankruptcy Court until
reaching the Global Settlement Agreement. See "The Global Settlement Agreement."

Holdings'
subsidiary, CCIC, which was domiciled in New York, was not seized or conserved on March 6, 2000. CCIC was not seized or conserved by the CDI because the New York
Department of Insurance ("NYDI") exercised regulatory authority over CCIC. On the date of the CDI's seizure and conservation actions, CCIC was about to complete its merger into CCCC, a new California
domiciled company, into which SNTL's wholly owned subsidiary Holdings, had contributed $5.4 million of capital. The CDI demanded that SNTL complete the merger, which was
acceptable to SNTL, but only if we were first allowed to dividend out of CCCC the $5.4 million of minimum capital and surplus that had been contributed to CCCC by Holdings. The CDI ultimately
agreed to allow the $5.4 million distribution, in return for which we agreed to complete the merger and allow CCCC to be conserved by the CDI.

A
$5.4 million distribution, less certain bank expenses charged to SNTL, plus interest, all netting to $5.2 million, was paid to SNTL's senior lenders
associated with our senior debt financing in the amount of $110.0 million, as cash collateral on December 4, 2000, pursuant to a November 9, 2000, order by the Bankruptcy Court.

Chapter 11 Petition and Reorganization

On April 26, 2000, the Chapter 11 companies filed a petition with the Bankruptcy Court seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code. On October 31, 2001, the Chapter 11 companies filed their Chapter 11 Joint Plan of Reorganization and Original Disclosure Statement (collectively, the "Plan") with the Bankruptcy
Court. The Plan is subject to amendment and requires approval by the Bankruptcy Court before the Plan can be solicited to all parties entitled to vote on the Plan. A hearing has been scheduled for
April 9, 2002 in order to determine whether the Disclosure Statement contains adequate information so as to enable those entitled to vote on the Plan to make an

5

---

informed decision about the Plan. There can be no assurance that holders of capital stock of SNTL will receive any benefit, contingent or otherwise, under the Plan, if the Plan is ultimately approved
by the Bankruptcy Court.

We
filed for protection under Chapter 11 for the following reasons:

It
was necessary to reorganize under Chapter 11 in order to protect our shareholders and creditors. By reorganizing under Chapter 11 we avoided any possibility of the Charter 11
companies being conserved by the CDI, which would have effectively destroyed any possibility of a plan of reorganization. The Chapter 11 petition also allowed us time to contest certain actions of the
CDI that we viewed as inappropriate and was a necessary prerequisite to our reorganization strategy. A key component of SNTL's reorganization plan will be the preservation for, and the
utilization by, one or more of SNTL's former stockholders or creditors, of SNTL's NOLs.

A
significant part of our Chapter 11 reorganization involves the submission and resolution of claims filed against us by our creditors. We believe each of SNTL's
acknowledged or potential creditors was contacted in accordance with procedures set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. The creditors were advised that they had to file a claim against us prior to
the "claims bar date," which in our case was November 13, 2000, in order for their claim to be effective. Claims submitted to the Bankruptcy Court fall into three general categories:
1) "secured," 2) "unsecured," and 3) "priority." "Secured" claims are those for which a creditor has the right to pursue specific pledged property. "Unsecured" claims are those
for which a creditor holds no special assurance of payment because the credit was extended based solely upon the creditor's assessment of our future ability to pay, or the claim is for damages we
allegedly caused the claimant. "Priority" claims are unsecured claims that are entitled to be paid ahead of other unsecured claims that are not entitled to priority status.

According
to the claims register maintained by the Bankruptcy Court, the major individual claims filed against us, which we have defined as claims exceeding $100,000, and the total of
all claims under $100,000, are as follows:

If we acknowledge that a creditor has a valid claim, it is not necessary for that creditor to submit the claim to the Bankruptcy Court in order
for the claim to be valid. Nevertheless, most of our acknowledged claims have been submitted to the Bankruptcy Court and are included in Table 1. On the other hand, we cannot identify many of the
persons listed in Table 1, some of whom have submitted material claims. In addition, several claimants did not specify the amounts they claim we owe them, including a representative of the California
Insurance Commissioner who has submitted a claim against SNTL for an unspecified amount, and it will not be possible for us to assess the materiality of such claims until they are submitted to the
Bankruptcy Court. Finally, many of the claims appear to be duplicative, and we believe the total claim amount will be reduced significantly when those claims are removed by the Bankruptcy Court. Since
we filed our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, approximately $120,000,000 in claims have been removed by the Bankruptcy Court.

We
have recorded in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 our best estimate of the true liabilities subject to compromise in our reorganization proceedings of
approximately $268,965,000. Our plan of reorganization, if ultimately approved by the Company's impaired prepetition creditors and stockholders and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, may materially
change the amounts and terms of these prepetition liabilities. Such amounts are estimated as of December 31, 2001, and the Company anticipates that claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the
Company's creditors will be reconciled to the Company's financial records. The additional liability arising from this reconciliation process, if any, is not subject to reasonable estimation, and
accordingly, no provision has been recorded for these possible claims. The termination of other contractual obligations and the settlement of disputed claims may create additional prepetition
liabilities. Such amounts, if any, will be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as they are identified and become subject to reasonable estimation.

Tax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

Consolidated Federal Income Tax Return Rules Pertaining to NOLs.Since 1985 SNTL has filed a consolidated federal income tax
return ("consolidated return"), with its subsidiaries, including the liquidating companies. This means that SNTL and its subsidiaries have always combined their tax
returns and reported their taxable income or losses to the Internal Revenue Services ("IRS") as if they were a single company. The election to file a consolidated return is only revocable with
the express permission of the IRS. In order to be included in a consolidated return at least 80.0% of the common stock of each of our subsidiaries must be owned directly or indirectly by SNTL. Because
SNTL owned directly, or indirectly through Holdings and our other subsidiaries, 100.0% of the stock of each of its subsidiaries at December 31, 2000, all of our subsidiaries were included in
our 2000 consolidated return. Virtually all of the tax accounting rules that apply to a single corporation also apply to a group of corporations filing a consolidated return. Some tax accounting rules
apply separately to each of the corporations that are included in the consolidated return, and some treat all of the corporations included in the consolidated return as if they were one corporation.
The following paragraphs describe the tax issues that pertain to our NOLs.

SNTL's
2000 and prior years' consolidated federal income tax returns reflected approximately $1.0 billion of NOLs. The Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") permits NOLs to
be carried back two years, or carried forward 20 years, to offset any consolidated taxable income in those years. Approximately $256.2 million of SNTL's
$1.0 billion of NOLs was generated in 2000, and, if not used in future years, will expire at the end of 2020. Approximately $577.0 million of NOLs generated in 1999 expire at the end of
2019 and the remaining $193.0 million of NOLs expire between 2000 and 2018. SNTL's 1998 and 1999 consolidated returns did not generate taxable income, so there is no benefit to
be gained from carrying-back any of our NOLs. We expect that our 2001 consolidated return will result in an additional increase to our NOLs at December 31, 2001. The NOLs have value
to the extent they can be used in future years to offset SNTL's taxable income, if any, prior to the NOL's expiration dates.

NOLs are generally grouped together and considered to be an "attribute" of, or owned by, the group of corporations filing the consolidated return. The consolidated return regulations
give the ultimate controlling parent of the group effective control over the group's taxation. In our case, the controlling parent is SNTL. Some exceptions to this general rule apply, but none of
those exceptions are material to us. The only way that a consolidated NOL can be apportioned to an individual corporation in a consolidated return is when that corporation leaves the group (for
example, by sale) or the group no longer files a consolidated return. If a member of the group leaves the consolidated return ("deconsolidates"), the group's consolidated NOL may be apportioned to the
deconsolidated member in the proportion that the deconsolidated company's separate NOL (if it hasn't already been used) bears to the sum of the NOLs of all of the group's members with NOLs (if any).
We believe the conservation of our insurance subsidiaries does not result in their deconsolidation, and does not change the companies that are included in our consolidated return. We are relying on an
IRS ruling in a different case that insurance companies conserved or placed in liquidation by a state regulator, which is the case with the liquidating companies, must continue to be included in their
parent company's consolidated return.

The
CDI and the Chapter 11 Companies are currently documenting a tax sharing agreement between the liquidating companies and the Chapter 11 companies. That agreement will become
effective upon confirmation of the Plan. The agreement will provide that the Chapter 11 companies will own the NOLs in return for certain remuneration from the utilization of the NOLs and indemnity by
the Plan sponsor.

Internal Revenue Code Section 382(l)(5).The value of the NOLs will be realized to the extent they are used to reduce
or defer recognition of taxable income of SNTL. We intend to prepare and offer for approval by the Bankruptcy Court a reorganization plan that will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the
maximum tax benefits resulting from the use of the NOLs. The utilization of our NOLs is possible as a result of §382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code, which prescribes special rules for
a loss corporation that is under the jurisdiction of a court in a Chapter 11 case, as are we. If our planned Chapter 11 reorganization results in continued
50-percent-or-greater ownership on the part of our stockholders and historic creditors, §382(l)(5) provides that 100% of our NOLs may survive the
reorganization. This is in contrast to the application of the ordinary tax rules associated with such a change of ownership, which would effectively eliminate100% of our NOLs.

Qualified
creditors must have held their claims for the eighteen months preceding the filing of the Chapter 11 proceeding or be historic ordinary business or trade creditors. In order to
qualify, the ordinary business or trade creditor must have beneficially owned that claim continuously. Excepting certain improper or potentially fraudulent claims filed against us in the Bankruptcy
Court, we believe virtually all of our legitimate creditors fall into one or the other of the qualifying creditor categories.

Section 382(l)(5)
requires that our NOLs must be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of any interest deductions taken on debt that is converted into stock in a Chapter 11
reorganization during any pre-change part-year period and for the preceding three years. Section §382(1)(5) completely eliminates NOLs if a second ownership change
of any kind occurs within two years of the first change.

Internal Revenue Code Section 269.Regulations associated with §269 of the IRC might presume we entered
into the Chapter 11 reorganization for tax avoidance purposes unless we carry on "more than an insignificant amount" of an active business during and after the insolvency proceeding. We believe we
have carried on more than an insignificant amount of business to date, and expect to do so after the proposed Chapter 11 reorganization is completed.

We
believe the United States Bankruptcy Code and associated case law may give the Bankruptcy Court the power to determine the merits of any tax liability claim against SNTL, including
the ownership, amount, and nature of our NOLs. The IRS acknowledges this function of the Bankruptcy Court, but the regulations associated with §269 provide that failure by the IRS to
challenge a reorganization plan on tax-avoidance grounds is not definitive, and any bankruptcy court determination on tax-avoidance purposes may not be controlling.

---

Financial Value.The ultimate value of our NOLs will reflect the amount of tax savings obtained by SNTL or its successor, and
the administrative cost of implementing a plan of reorganization. The actual value will depend on the timing of tax savings, the applicable federal and state tax rates, and the timing of the closing
of the period during which tax returns of SNTL may be audited. A number of years may elapse between the confirmation of the plan of reorganization and distributions of cash to our creditors and other
stakeholders.

Holders
of our common stock would be entitled to residual value created by the NOLs after the satisfaction of prior claims in bankruptcy. It is impossible to ascertain how much value, if
any, there may be in the rights of our common stockholders, both because the value of the asset is uncertain and the Bankruptcy Court has not finally determined our liabilities, nor how they would be
settled.

The Global Settlement Agreement

The Chapter 11 companies entered into the Global Settlement Agreement on September 8, 2000, with J. Clark Kelso, the acting Insurance Commissioner of the
State of California, the conserved insurance companies, Richard G. Krenz, the Special Deputy Insurance Commissioner responsible for managing the conserved insurance companies, Lumbermens Mutual
Casualty Company, Kemper Employers
Group, Inc., and Kemper Employers Insurance Company. We will refer to J. Clark Kelso, the conserved insurance companies and Richard G. Krenz collectively as the "CDI." We will refer to
Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company, Kemper Employers Group, Inc. and Kemper Employers Insurance Company collectively as "Kemper." The Global Settlement Agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy
Court on September 22, 2000, and by the Los Angeles Superior Court on September 26, 2000. Certain terms of the Global Settlement Agreement are described in this section.

The
Chapter 11 companies agreed to support the CDI's rehabilitation plans and proceedings and to stop contesting the CDI's legal and operational actions with respect to the liquidating
companies. The CDI agreed that the rehabilitation plans and proceedings, a) would not conflict with the performance of the Global Settlement Agreement, b) would not impair the ownership
or value of SNTL's tax net operating loss carryforwards without prior court approval, and c) would not address the Chapter 11 companies' possible obligations to any surety.
See"Tax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards" and "Surety Bond Guarantees."

The
Chapter 11 companies agreed to use their best efforts to assign to the CDI and Kemper certain of SNTL's owned and leased real and personal property located in the
State of California and designated by the CDI and Kemper, including furniture, fixtures, equipment, software, hardware, office equipment, and other assets. The Chapter 11 companies also agreed to use
their best efforts to assign to the CDI and Kemper the names, trade names, trademarks, service marks and logos under which the liquidating companies conducted business. The CDI agreed generally to
indemnify the Chapter 11 companies for legal costs or damages incurred by the Chapter 11 companies with respect to the assignment of these assets to the CDI or Kemper. The Chapter 11 companies were
allowed to retain the use of the corporate names "SN Insurance Administrators, Inc." and "SN Insurance Services, Inc.," and title to the domain name superior.comand the computer hardware to
which the domain name applies. The Chapter 11 companies may not use the superior.comdomain name in its MGA business, and we are not allowed to sell or assign it to anyone who will use it in an
insurance business.

The
Chapter 11 companies agreed in general to conduct no workers' compensation insurance business in California, and agreed to other restrictions outside of California, for a period of
30 months commencing on August 31, 2000. The Chapter 11 companies may write without limitation workers' compensation insurance for certain of its creditors and the Chapter 11 companies
may apply to the CDI for permission to conduct lines of insurance business other than workers' compensation after August 31, 2001. During the 30 months from September 1, 2000
through February 28, 2003, SNIS agreed to compete with Kemper only as an agent, managing general agent, third party administrator, managing general underwriter, or risk management services
provider, with respect to workers' compensation insurance, and only in 19 states,

10

---

Illinois, New Jersey, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Missouri, New York, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Oregon, Tennessee, Iowa, Maryland, and Delaware. In addition,
the Chapter 11 companies may compete with Kemper without regard to time and geographic limitations where each agent or other producer with respect to the policy is located in the 19 states, and more
than 90% of the total payroll for the policy is located in the 19 states. In addition, the Chapter 11 companies may write without limitation workers' compensation insurance for certain of its
creditors. The Chapter 11 companies agreed that William L. Gentz, J. Chris Seaman, and Arnold J. Senter (all officers of SNTL at the time of entering into this agreement) would enter into limited
non-compete agreements. The Chapter 11 companies are permitted to operate administrative and
corporate headquarters in California, although certain functional and size limitations apply during the 30 months after August 31, 2000.

The
Chapter 11 companies received copies of all of SNTL's software with the exception of the SWAMI management information system. For a period of twelve months commencing
September 1, 2000, the Chapter 11 companies are granted access to, and use of, all of SNTL's software and systems, including SWAMI, for the purpose of conducting their business.
The costs associated with the Chapter 11 companies accessing the computer systems are borne by the Chapter 11 companies under a cost sharing system. The Chapter 11 companies have the right to possess
and access data necessary for writing insurance subject to the restrictions discussed above, necessary for the administration of its business, and data that can be readily identified as constituting
the Chapter 11 companies' legal, corporate, regulatory, accounting, financial and human resource records and data, including subsidiaries' records, and all employee benefits data. See
"Front Company Business."

The
CDI agreed to negotiate in good faith with the Chapter 11 companies to facilitate the formulation of their plan of reorganization. The Chapter 11 companies agreed to include in the
plan of reorganization a provision for an independent senior executive for SNIS and SNIA with no affiliation or involvement in their pre-conservation or pre-bankruptcy
management. The CDI agreed to terminate a reinsurance contract between Superior National Insurance Company and Superior (Bermuda) Ltd. without any exchange of funds, and agreed that the Global
Settlement Agreement could be used in lieu of a Commutation Agreement to demonstrate to any regulatory authority that SBL's liabilities to Superior National Insurance Company are
terminated.

The
Chapter 11 companies and the CDI agreed that the use of SNTL's NOLs and the allocation of any value realized on the NOLs, would be subject to further negotiations and
to the confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 companies acknowledged the CDI's expectations that any plan of reorganization would not destroy the ability of
the liquidating companies to use the NOLs to offset their taxable income and that the liquidating companies will share in a percentage of the ultimate value realized on the NOLs generally in
proportion with the losses suffered by the creditors of the liquidating companies and creditors of the Chapter 11 companies. The CDI acknowledged that the Chapter 11 companies', and their creditors'
expectations conflicted with the CDI's expectations. The Chapter 11 companies and the CDI agreed that their respective tax professionals, and the tax professionals of certain of SNTL's
creditors, would meet and confer regarding the preservation and viability of the NOLs. We also agreed to assist in analysis of the NOLs to the extent requested by the tax professionals. In the event
the Chapter 11 companies are unable to confirm a plan of reorganization, or a Chapter 7 trustee is appointed, the CDI is not bound by any obligations in the Global Settlement Agreement related to
NOLs. The Chapter 11 companies and the CDI agreed to cooperate in the preparation of SNTL's year 2000 tax returns. See "Tax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards."

The
CDI agreed to assist the Chapter 11 companies to continue administration of Front Company business (as hereinafter described) including the right to control, manage, direct and
require performance of the obligations of third party administrators, and the right to access SNTL computer systems for the purpose of Front Company policy administration, assuming the Front Company's
desired assistance from the Chapter 11 companies to do so. The CDI agreed to indemnify the Chapter 11 companies with respect to any claims by the Front Companies relating to the actual possession,
collection or disposition of Front

11

---

Company premiums after March 3, 2000, and with respect to any claims by the Front Companies relating to any performance or non-performance of underwriting or claims administration
pursuant to the contracts between the Chapter 11 companies and the Front Companies. Partial security for the indemnity is a lien upon the proceeds of the CDI's arbitration proceedings with the United
States Life Insurance Company of the State of New York up to an amount of $28.0 million. The lien can be used to satisfy any and all obligations, including indemnity and defense obligations of
the liquidating companies to the Chapter 11 companies. See "Front Company Business."

On
September 8, 2000, SNIS paid to the CDI $24.0 million of premiums, the ownership of which was disputed, and which it had collected on behalf of the Front Companies and
the CDI. On September 28, 2000, subsequent to Bankruptcy Court approval of the Global Settlement Agreement, SNIS paid to the CDI an additional $30.6 million of disputed premiums it had
collected on behalf of the Front Companies and the CDI. The CDI agreed that $10.5 million of SNIS' funds were owned by SNIS as further consideration for the Chapter 11 companies' agreement to
enter into the Global Settlement Agreement, including releases, property transfers and assignments, and a full and final release of claims against the liquidating companies relating to the ownership
of the disputed premium. SNIS agreed to transmit on a weekly basis the full amount of any premiums related to the liquidating companies' policies that came into its possession after August 22,
2000. Although the $10.5 million is reflected as consideration on SNIS's records at December 31, 2000, the $10.5 million consideration is subject to future intercompany allocation
amongst the Chapter 11 companies.

The
CDI provided the Chapter 11 companies' officers, directors, employees, attorneys and certain others with releases from liability, but reserved its right to assert claims against
a) Zurich Insurance Group ("Zurich") or any affiliate of Zurich other than the Chapter 11 companies; b) any individual officer, director and employee of Zurich or any of its affiliates
(other than an individual who is an officer, director or employee of one or more of the Chapter 11 companies, and not of Zurich or any of its other affiliates); c) the liquidating companies'
officers and directors, regardless of whether they also are officers and directors of the Chapter 11 companies, for errors and omissions in the management of the liquidating companies; d) 
actuarial, accounting or other professional, firms who provided services to or for the benefit of the liquidating companies, or, e) the recoveries sought in SNTL's action against
FHC and M&R or any entitlement of the CDI to intervene in the FHC Litigation on behalf of the liquidating companies. The Chapter 11 companies reserved all of their rights and defenses available to
them and did not acknowledge any right of the CDI to any alleged claim the CDI may have to intervene in or share in any recovery from the FHC Litigation. See "Legal
ProceedingsSuperior National Insurance Group, Inc. v. Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and Milliman &
Robertson, Inc."

The
Chapter 11 companies released the CDI, and their officers, directors, employees and attorneys, from liability, except claims: a) from liabilities arising out of the seizure by
the CDI of Chapter 11 company assets or from the CDI's takeover of the Chapter 11 companies' offices; b) from claims against the estates of the liquidating companies other than any claim
arising out of the Global Settlement Agreement; c) for indemnity, contribution, or similar obligations, arising from any losses suffered by the Chapter 11 companies resulting from the actions
of the CDI in administering Front Company contracts after March 3, 2000.

The
Chapter 11 companies reserved their rights: a) to defend themselves against any action brought against them by the CDI; b) to share in any dividends or other
distributions to shareholders from the liquidating companies' estates, to receive any liquidation distribution to shareholders from the liquidation estates of the liquidating companies, or to enjoy
any other right it may have solely as a shareholder of the liquidating companies including but not limited to entitlement to the NOLs; c) to any interest in any insurance policies of which they
are the named owner or insured, including professional liability insurance policies, director and officers' insurance policies, and company liability policies; and d) to defend themselves
against claims by employees or the CDI that assert that the Chapter 11 companies are

12

---

obligated to pay residual claims of employees, such as unpaid "personal time off," vacation leave, and sick leave.

Not
part of the Global Settlement Agreement, but related thereto, is an open letter dated September 8, 2000, issued by the CDI stating that the Chapter 11 companies have entered
into the Global Settlement Agreement, and, subject to the limitations of the Global Settlement Agreement, the CDI has no objection to any third party conducting any lawful business with the Chapter 11
companies. A second open letter dated September 8, 2000, confirms that the agency and third party administrator licenses of SNIS and SNIA issued by the CDI are in full force and effect, that no
disciplinary action has been imposed on the licenses, and that no disciplinary proceedings are pending. The CDI letter also states that the SNIS and SNIA licenses entitle them to engage in all lawful
activities prescribed by the California Insurance Code and regulations.

Surety Bond Guarantees

In September and October of 1999, the liquidating companies purchased Workers' Compensation Bonds ("Bonds") with several sureties. The Bonds represent a promise
by the surety to pay workers' compensation claims on behalf of the liquidating companies under certain circumstances. The liquidating companies procured the sureties' promises to pay
$108.0 million of workers' compensation claims in the states of California and Arizona. The Bonds procured with respect to California workers' compensation claims were as follows: CalComp
$15.0 million, CBIC approximately $4.2 million, CCCC approximately $3.0 million, SNIC $70.0 million, and SPCC approximately $2.4 million, for a total of
approximately $95.0 million of California Bonds. The Bonds procured with respect to Arizona workers' compensation claims were as follows: SNIC approximately $8.4 million, and SPCC
approximately $4.9 million, for a total of approximately $13.3 million of Arizona bonds. In the case of each Bond, SNTL, or SNTL and various combinations of its subsidiaries, agreed to
indemnify each of the sureties against any loss or expense incurred by the sureties.

Based
on our analysis of the terms of the California and Arizona Bonds, we do not believe the sureties have any liabilities under the Bonds and, thus, the Chapter 11 companies have no
liabilities to the sureties. There can be no assurance that if the surety claims are litigated that a court will not require payment on the Bonds, or that the sureties would not be successful in
obtaining indemnification from
the Chapter 11 companies even if they consented to make payments without legal compulsion to do so. We have not accrued any liability related to the Bonds on our financial statements.

Front Company Business

SNIS and SNIA have historically entered into "fronting" relationships with related and unrelated party insurance companies. "Fronting" is the common insurance
industry term used to describe the agreement by an insurance company to allow policies to be issued in its name by a third party. A fronting arrangement may allow a non-regulated entity,
such as an insurance agent, to create a program for the benefit of a number of similar policyholders without the capital expense of forming a new insurance company. Fronting also permits an insurance
company with a relatively low rating from the insurance rating agencies to offer its customers higher rated policies. A fronting company is generally paid a percentage of the policy premium as a fee
for the use of its name and as compensation for the financial benefit provided by the insurance company to the third party. The fronting company usually cedes most, if not all, of the risk on the
fronted policies to a reinsurer. The reinsurance is frequently, but not always, arranged by the third party as well.

At
the time of the seizure of the liquidating companies by the CDI, SNIS had fronting agreements principally with three companies: Zurich Centre Insurance Company, Centre Insurance
Company, and Underwriters Insurance Company (collectively referred to as the "three fronting companies"). The Company earned commission income from these three fronting companies in 2000. However, an
insignificant amount of commission income was earned in 2001 and no further commission income will be

13

---

earned in the future from these three fronting companies. Furthermore, since the three fronting companies have filed significant claims included in the claims disclosed in "Chapter 11 Petition and
Reorganization," the Company has written-off the commission receivable due from the three fronting companies equal to an amount over and above our ability to offset the trust premium
payable of $6.8 million recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001. Nevertheless, we continue to assert our ownership of these commissions and will continue to
pursue our rights of offset and other methods to effectuate collection. See Legal ProceedingsUnderwriters Insurance Company (Plaintiff) v. Superior National
Insurance Group, Inc., SN Insurance Services, Inc., and Business Insurance Group, Inc. (Defendants)and Legal
ProceedingsCentre Insurance Company (Plaintiff) v. SNTL Corporation, SN Insurance Services, Inc., SNTL Holdings Corporation, and SN Insurance
Administrators, Inc. (Defendants).

We
currently have no source of operating income from front company business. Since August 2000, we have been actively seeking to enter into fronting arrangements with insurance
and reinsurance companies that would accept the insurance risk associated with the service arrangements SNIS and SNIA undertake on behalf of their clients. However, as of the date of this filing, we
have not been able to secure a fronting arrangement with any insurance or reinsurance company. We believe this is primarily due to the concern by potential clients about our ability to continue as a
going concern, taking into consideration that we are in the process of reorganizing under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. We do not anticipate finding an insurance or reinsurance company willing to
enter
into a fronting arrangement with us until after the Bankruptcy Court confirms our Plan of Reorganization.

Underwriting Manager Agreement and Claims Services Agreement

The Underwriting Manager Agreement ("UMA") was entered into by and between SNIC, SPCC, CalComp, CCIC, CCCC and CBIC (collectively referred to as the "Affiliated
Insurers") and SNIS. The effective date of this agreement was January 1, 2000. The UMA provided that SNIS would serve as an underwriting manager and provide premium accounting and audit
services on behalf of the Affiliated Insurers for workers' compensation and employers' liability insurance, in all states of the United States that SNIS has the applicable regulatory authorization.
SNIS also produced and serviced such business on behalf of the Affiliated Insurers and its insured employers. As compensation for the services SNIS performed on behalf of the Affiliated Insurers
pursuant to the UMA, the Affiliated Insurers would reimburse SNIS for all general and administrative expenses incurred by SNIS.

The
Claims Service Agreement ("CSA") was entered into by and between Affiliated Insurers and SNIA. The effective date of this agreement was January 1, 2000. The CSA provided that
SNIA would provide comprehensive and complete workers' compensation claims management, including loss control services, on behalf of the Affiliated Insurers for workers' compensation and employers'
liability insurance, in all states of the United States that SNIS has the applicable regulatory authorization. As compensation for the services SNIA performed on behalf of the Affiliated Insurers
pursuant to the CSA, the Affiliated Insurers would reimburse SNIA for all general and administrative expenses incurred by SNIA.

The
UMA and CSA was terminated pursuant to the term in the Global Settlement Agreement and effective as of the effective date of the Global Settlement Agreement on September 8,
2000, see "Global Settlement Agreement."

Investments

SNTL's assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and cash deposits held by legal counsel in interest bearing trust accounts for the
benefit of SNTL and its subsidiaries.

Employees

As of the date of this filing, we have approximately 48 employees, none of whom are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Risk Factors

We may not be able to use our NOLs in a plan of reorganization.

We intend to submit to the Bankruptcy Court a plan of reorganization that will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize 100.0% of the NOLs. There can be no
assurance that our plan of reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

The
benefit of a company's NOLs can be reduced or eliminated under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code prescribes
special rules for utilization of NOLs of a loss corporation that is under the jurisdiction of a court in a Chapter 11 case. There can be no assurance that our plan of reorganization results in the
continued 50-percent-or-greater ownership on the part of our stockholders and historic creditors required by Section 382(l)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code
for the NOLs to survive the reorganization. Under the rules, qualified creditors must have held their claims for eighteen months preceding the filing of the Chapter 11 proceeding or be historic
ordinary business or trade creditors that have beneficially owned that claim continuously. There can be no assurance that the claims of our creditors meet this standard. There can be no assurance that
the NOLs will not be completely eliminated by a second ownership change that occurs within two years of the first ownership change.

Our Liabilities May Exceed the Value of Our NOLs, in which case our stockholders would receive nothing.

The
value of the NOLs will be realized to the extent they are used to defer the recognition of taxable income of a sponsoring entity consolidated with SNTL and its subsidiaries. We
intend to prepare and offer for approval and confirmation a plan of reorganization that will utilize the NOLs to provide a return to our creditors and stockholders based on the economic value of the
NOLs. There can be no assurance that our plan of reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. The sponsoring entity may be unable to generate sufficient future taxable income
to fully utilize the NOLs. There can be no assurance that the NOLs will survive the reorganization. There can be no assurance that the claims of creditors will be satisfied in full out of the value of
the NOLs, such that holders of capital stock will receive any benefit under the plan of reorganization.

We
may not prevail in our litigation against FHC, FHS, and M&R. There can be no assurance that we will obtain a judgement against FHC, FHS, or M&R, or that if we do obtain a judgement
that it will be collected. The timing of any collection of a judgement is also difficult to assure given the delay that might accompany an appeal by one or more of our adversaries. See "Legal
ProceedingsSuperior National Insurance Group, Inc. v. Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and Milliman & Robertson,
Inc."

We have no current revenue source

We have no current revenue source because we no longer are receiving revenue from the underwriting and claims management agreements we entered into prior to the
bankruptcy filing and we have not entered into any new underwriting and claims management agreements. See "Front Company Business." Even though we anticipate entering into an arrangement that will
produce operating revenue for us after the Bankruptcy Court confirms our Plan of Reorganization, there can be no assurance that our plan of reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court. Even if our Plan of Reorganization is approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, with no current revenue source, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient cash flow
to meet our operating obligations before our plan of reorganization is approved or confirmed. If we cannot meet our current obligations, we will need to obtain
debtor-in-possession financing that would have priority in right of repayment to our pre-petition liabilities, or we would have to liquidate our remaining assets,
jeopardizing our ability to meet the requirements for utilizing our NOLs to satisfy pre-petition liabilities or return capital to our stockholders.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal executive office is located in Agoura Hills, California and is subject to a lease that expires in 2003. We have one other office lease in Denver,
Colorado. In order to reduce the potential risk to the lessor, a provision in our Denver office lease states that it is a month-to-month tenancy until such time as the Plan of
Reorganization is effective, which is termed the conversion date. For the purpose of calculating an estimate of the minimum lease payments we assumed a conversion date of July 1, 2002. However,
there is no assurance that a Plan of Reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. From and after the conversion date, this lease will be converted to a tenancy for a
thirty-six month term.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. (now known as SNTL Corporation and hereinafter referred to as "SNTL") v.
Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation Health Systems, Inc (now known as HealthNet, Inc. hereinafter referred to as "FHC" or "FHS"). and Milliman & Robertson, Inc. (now known
as Milliman USA, and referred to herein as "M & R")

We
filed a lawsuit in Bankruptcy Court on April 28, 2000, alleging that FHC, FHS and M&R defrauded SNTL in connection with FHC's 1998 sale of Business Insurance Group, Inc.
to SNTL. We seek to recover from FHC, FHS, and M&R at least $300.0 million in damages, seeking rescission of the BIG acquisition, recovery from FHC, FHS, and M&R from any damages suffered by
SNTL, including the return to SNTL of the $285.0 million that it paid FHC to acquire BIG, plus punitive damages and reimbursement of SNTL's costs associated with the lawsuit. The
discovery cut-off date is September 3, 2002. The parties are in the process of concluding fact discovery and have already commenced depositions of expert witnesses. The lawsuit is
scheduled to go to trial in February 2003.

We
believe the FHC Litigation is meritorious and that the Chapter 11 companies will be successful in rescinding the BIG Acquisition and/or in recovering damages from FHC, FHS, M&R and
their affiliates. Any proceeds of the litigation, after payment of legal fees and expenses, would be available for distribution to claimants in our plan of reorganization. However, FHC, FHS and M&R
are vigorously contesting the merits of our claims and there can be no assurance that we will collect any amount of damages or any damages at all.

Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. v. J. Clark Kelso, in his capacity as Conservator of Superior National Insurance Company, (ii) Superior
Pacific Casualty Company, (iii) California Compensation Insurance Company and (iv) Combined Benefits Insurance Company.

On
December 20, 2000, the Chapter 11 companies filed in the Bankruptcy Court a "Motion for Summary Adjudication of Ownership of NOLs" asking the Bankruptcy Court to rule that SNTL
owns its consolidated NOLs. In March 2001, the Bankruptcy Court issued several rulings generally favorable to the Chapter 11 companies, which the CDI immediately appealed. The United States
District Court declined to hear the CDI's appeal regarding their assertion that the McCarran-Ferguson Act "reverse pre-empts" Federal jurisdiction over the Chapter 11 companies. The
District Court agreed to hear the CDI's appeal that the Bankruptcy Court had no right to decide any NOL issue because the CDI possesses sovereign immunity under the 11th Amendment. See
"BusinessTax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards."

The
CDI and the Chapter 11 Companies are currently documenting a tax sharing agreement between the liquidating companies and the Chapter 11 companies. That agreement will become
effective upon confirmation of the Plan. The agreement will provide that the Chapter 11 companies will own the NOLs in return for certain remuneration from the utilization of the NOLs and indemnity by
the Plan sponsor.

Insurance Corporation of Hannover, Scandinavian Reinsurance Company Ltd, and Odyssey Reinsurance Corporation (Plaintiffs) v. Business Insurance
Group, Inc., Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. Centre Insurance Company, Chris Seaman, et. al. (Defendants).

16

---

Insurance
Corporation of Hannover, Scandinavian Reinsurance Company Ltd, and Odyssey Reinsurance Corporation ("Plaintiffs") filed a lawsuit in the Bankruptcy Court in
November 2000, against SNTL, Holdings and Centre Insurance Company, and on December 13, 2000, the Plaintiffs amended the lawsuit to include our Chief Executive Officer, J. Chris Seaman
("Defendants").

The
Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants "knowingly made materially false representations concerning the status and financial affairs" of the Chapter 11 companies and the liquidating
companies. The Plaintiffs also allege the Defendants concealed material facts to induce the Plaintiffs to enter into a contract in December 1998 to provide $37.5 million of reinsurance
to the Chapter 11 companies and the liquidating companies. The Plaintiffs allege that had they known all of the material facts, they would not have entered into the reinsurance contract, or that they
would only have done so if we had paid a higher premium. The Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants knew and failed to disclose the plaintiffs' risk in underwriting the reinsurance contracts. The
Plaintiffs seek cancellation of the reinsurance contract, and compensatory and punitive damages. Plaintiffs have offered to refund $7.0 million of premiums paid for the reinsurance in order to
cancel their obligations.

The
Company believes the lawsuit is without merit. The Bankruptcy Court abstained from the case on February 16, 2001, effectively giving jurisdiction to the California courts to
decide the allegations contained in the lawsuit. A new lawsuit was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court by the reinsurance companies, as discussed below, and they subsequently
entered-into arbitration proceedings with the CDI, which proceedings do not presently include any of the Chapter 11 companies or Mr. Seaman.

Insurance Corporation of Hannover, Scandinavian Reinsurance Company Ltd. and Odyssey Reinsurance Corporation (hereinafter Hannover et al) ("Plaintiffs") v.
Business Insurance Group, Inc., Superior National Insurance Group, Inc., Centre Reinsurance Limited, and Chris Seaman et. al. (Defendants).

On
June 18, 2001, Hannover et al. filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, case number BC252963, against Superior National Insurance Group, Inc., Business
Insurance Group, Inc., Centre Reinsurance Limited, and Chris Seaman for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair competition resulting from the procurement in December 1998 of a
$37.5 million reinsurance agreement. These are the same allegations that Hannover et al. are pursuing against the liquidating companies in arbitration proceedings authorized to move forward by
Judge Rothschild of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. and Business Insurance Group, Inc. were served with this lawsuit on July 2,
2001.

On
November 19, 2001, Hannover et al. filed a Second Amended Complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court, case number BC 252963 against Superior National Insurance
Group, Inc., Business Insurance Group, Centre Reinsurance Limited, and Chris Seaman for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair competition resulting from the procurement in
December 1998 of a $37.5 million reinsurance agreement. Debtors brought a Motion to Stay this lawsuit pending the outcome of the contractual arbitration currently underway between the
Hannover et al. Plaintiffs and the conserved insurance companies. In February 2002, the Los Angeles Superior Court granted debtor's Motion to Stay. This has the effect of stopping all legal
proceeding and discovery against the Chapter 11 companies in this matter, at least until Plaintiff's file a Motion for Relief from the Stay Order.

The
Chapter 11 companies believe that their dealings with plaintiffs regarding this reinsurance treaty were conducted in good faith and that the Chapter 11 companies will not incur any
liability to plaintiffs.

Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. (Plaintiff) v. Arthur Andersen, LLP (Defendant).

On
August 3, 2001, Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. filed an Adversary Action (Adversary No. 01-01351 KL) in the United States Bankruptcy Court,
Central District of California, San Fernando Valley Division (Case No. SV00-14099 GM) alleging causes of action for declaratory relief, reformation of contract and rescission against
Arthur Andersen LLP for failure to abide by the terms of a settlement agreement. Debtors seek either declaratory relief and reformation which if successful will permit the

parties to proceed to arbitration of claims for which Superior agreed to accept $2.5 million. If rescission is successful, Superior has claims of approximately $13 million against
Arthur Andersen, LLP. Arthur Andersen, LLP has established an interest bearing escrow account that provides a minimum payment of $500,000 to Superior National Insurance Group, Inc.

Underwriters Insurance Company (Plaintiff) v. Superior National Insurance Group, Inc., SN Insurance Services, Inc., and Business Insurance
Group, Inc. (Defendants).

On
November 8, 2000, Underwriters Insurance Company ("UIC") filed a lawsuit against SNTL, SNIS, and Holdings, in Bankruptcy Court. UIC alleges that SNIS has failed to remit
$4.6 million in premiums to UIC. UIC states that SNIC, one of the liquidating companies, has not remitted funds to UIC sufficient to secure the unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses that
SNIC assumed from UIC pursuant to a reinsurance contract between UIC and SNIC. UIC alleges that SNTL and Holdings have failed to indemnify UIC for SNIC's failure to indemnify UIC for the failure to
pay premiums and fund reinsurance under its Underwriting Agreement with SNIS and its Reinsurance Agreement with the liquidating companies. The relief sought includes payment to UIC of at least
$11.3 million as security for the liquidating companies' liabilities to UIC. UIC also sought a determination that both the $4.6 million in premiums and the $11.3 million
reinsurance security were administrative claims. The
Bankruptcy Court has dismissed the $11.3 million reinsurance security as an administrative claim. We have placed $3.8 million into a separate account for the possible benefit of UIC
pending a full accounting of monies held by SNIS. The Chapter 11 companies dispute that any money is owed to UIC, but believe that this fund is more than adequate to cover any liabilities owed to UIC.

Further,
we do not believe the UIC lawsuit will result in a material liability to the Chapter 11 companies because under the Global Settlement Agreement the CDI agreed to indemnify the
Chapter 11 companies with respect to any claims by the Front Companies relating to the actual possession, collection, or disposition of Front Company premiums after March 3, 2000, and with
respect to any claims by the Front Companies relating to any performance or non-performance of underwriting or claims administration pursuant to the contracts between the Chapter 11
companies and the Front Companies. Security for the indemnity is a lien upon the proceeds of the CDI's arbitration proceedings with the United States Life Insurance Company up to an amount of
$28.0 million. The lien can be used to satisfy any and all obligations, including indemnity and defense obligations of the liquidating companies to the Chapter 11 companies. It is our view that
the UIC lawsuit is covered by the indemnity but our position has not yet been formally presented to the CDI or the Bankruptcy Court.

The
Chapter 11 companies have filed a Motion seeking leave from Supplemental Order approving Settlement Agreement to use "UIC" funds of $3.8 million. On March 27, 2002, the
Bankruptcy Court granted the Chapter 11 companies' Motion seeking leave from Supplemental Order approving Settlement Agreement, permitting to the Chapter 11 companies to utilize
approximately $2.4 million. On March 28, 2002, UIC filed an objection to the Chapter 11 companies' Proposed Order Granting the Chapter 11 companies' Motion for leave from
Supplemental Order approving Settlement Agreement.

Centre Insurance Company (Plaintiff) v. SNTL Corporation, SN Insurance Services, Inc., SNTL Holdings Corporation, and SN Insurance
Administrators, Inc. (Defendants).

On
July 11, 2001 the Chapter 11 companies were served with a Complaint from Centre Insurance Company (CIC) alleging causes of action for accounting of premium funds, declaratory
relief, creation of a trust account, and recovery of premiums. We have placed $1.6 million into a separate account for the possible benefit of CIC pending a full accounting of monies held by
SNIS. The Chapter 11 companies dispute that any money is owed to CIC but believe that this fund is more than adequate to cover any liabilities owed to CIC. Pursuant to the Global Settlement Agreement,
the Chapter 11 companies are of the opinion that any additional monies that may be owed to CIC should be held to be the legal responsibility and liability of the liquidating companies.

Bankruptcy Court Proceedings

When we present and seek confirmation of our plan of reorganization, various components of the plan or the settlement or discharge of liabilities by the plan may
be a subject of litigation. Some of these proceedings may have a material adverse impact on the benefits realized by our creditors and stockholders from the plan of reorganization.

The
confirmation and approval of our plan of reorganization was delayed primarily due to the following event. On or about January 4, 2002, Bank of New York and Union Bank of California
(collectively the "Dissenting Banks") two members of the group of banks (the "Lending Group") that entered into a Credit Agreement with SNTL that provided SNTL with $110.0 million in senior debt
financing, filed an objection to our Disclosure Statement in conjunction with the Plan. The objection stated that the Dissenting Banks held a first priority lien over the entire FHS litigation (see
"Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. v. Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and Milliman & Robertson, Inc.") as well as
all payments anticipated from the utilization of the NOLs. This lien theory was based upon the Credit Agreement entered into between the Lending Group and SNTL. The $110.0 million debt was secured by
a pledge of Holdings stock. The Dissenting Banks theories were set forth at length in their objection and in opposition to the motion the Chapter 11 companies filed on or about January 10th, 2002, to
determine the value of the secured claim of the Lending Group in respect of stock pledges.

With
respect to the NOLs, the Dissenting Banks argued that since the objective of the Plan Sponsor (JP Morgan Chase) was to purchase the stock of SNTL and to therefore control the
consolidated group, the stock of Holdings was an essential part of the realization of the NOLs, and that stock was pledged to the Lending Group, including the Dissenting Banks. The Dissenting Banks
reasoned that their stock pledge must have value. Since the Plan and Disclosure Statement ascribed no value whatsoever to the stock pledges, and did not treat the Lending Group as a secured creditor,
the Plan and Disclosure Statement were objectionable.

In
response, the Chapter 11 companies sought to determine the value of the stock pledges was zero in their motion, arguing that the stock of an insolvent company was worthless, that any
NOL realization could not and did not constitute proceeds of the pledged stock under the UCC, and that the pledged stock was not indispensable to the Plan and therefore had no value.

The
motion also addressed the other claim the Dissenting Banks had made, which related to the FHS Litigation. Relying on a Ninth Circuit decision interpreting the UCC, the Dissenting
Banks claimed that recoveries on litigation claims arising from fraud committed in the purchase of securities or otherwise representing a diminution in the value of securities are proceeds of the
underlying securities, in which the Lending Group, in the case of the Holdings stock pledge, had a security interest. The Chapter 11 Companies, in their motion, responded that the revised UCC
clarified that such recoveries were not proceeds, that any claim which arises out of a tort, is excluded under the UCC, that no lien could exist on certain of the Chapter 11 companies' claims against
FHS nor any punitive damage recovery, and that the Ninth Circuit decision did not control this case.

The
Dissenting Banks and the Chapter 11 companies subsequently reached an agreement to settle the litigation in connection with an amendment to the proposed Plan. Under the proposed Plan
amendment, the Dissenting Banks could receive a $15 - $22.5 million distribution on a sliding scale (depending on the source of the distribution) in part before, and in part pro rata with the
unsecured creditors. The settlement and the amended Plan have not been submitted to the Bankruptcy Court, as of this date, and are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters have been put to a vote of SNTL stockholders during the year 2001. No Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held during the year 2001 and it is not
expected that one will be held in 2002.

ITEM 5.  MARKET PRICE FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Prior
to April 6, 2000, our common stock was listed and traded on The Nasdaq National Stock Market under the trading symbol "SNTL." We voluntarily de-listed from the
Nasdaq National Stock Market because we did not meet the minimum financial requirements for such a listing. SNTL does not qualify for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The common stock trades
over the counter under the symbol "SNLLQ". We have not and will not pay dividends on our common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes to be relevant for an understanding of our consolidated results of operations
and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Overview

During 2001, SNTL's Chapter 11 companies continued their Chapter 11 proceedings, which began on April 26, 2000, when the Chapter 11
companies filed a petition with the Bankruptcy Court seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On October 31, 2001, the Chapter 11 companies filed their Chapter
11 Joint Plan of Reorganization and Original Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan is subject to amendment and requires approval by the Bankruptcy Court before the Plan can be
solicited to all parties entitled to vote on the Plan. A hearing has been scheduled for April 9, 2002 in order to determine whether the Disclosure Statement contains adequate information so as
to enable those entitled to vote on the Plan to make an informed decision about the Plan.

SNTL's
loss before preferred securities' dividends and accretion and discontinued operations items was $20.7 million in 2001, as compared to income of
$5.6 million in 2000. This $26.3 million decrease in income was primarily the result of the recording in 2000 of $10.5 million of other income from considerations received
pursuant to the Global Settlement Agreement (see "BusinessGlobal Settlement Agreement") and $15.7 million of commission income net of bad debt expense, no such income was recorded
in 2001.

For
the year ended December 31, 2001, we recorded a net loss of $34.2 million after preferred securities' dividends and accretion and discontinued operations, as compared
to a net loss of $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $1.99 (diluted) versus net loss per share of $0.39
(diluted) in 2000. During 2001, we recorded $13.5 million in dividend expense and accretion on preferred securities, as compared to $12.3 million in dividend expense and accretion on
preferred securities in 2000.

SNTL's
income before preferred securities' dividends and accretion and discontinued operations items was $5.6 million in 2000, as compared to a loss of
$73.5 million in 1999. This $79.1 million decrease in loss in 2000 over 1999 was primarily the result of the recording in 1999 of a $49.9 million valuation allowance against our
deferred tax asset, a $7.6 million expense associated with the recognition of deferred debt acquisition costs, a $5.0 million accrual for litigation expenses associated with the FHC
Litigation, see "Legal Proceedings", and the recording in 2000 of $10.5 million of other income due to the considerations received pursuant to the Global Settlement Agreement. See
"BusinessGlobal Settlement Agreement."

For
the year ended December 31, 2000, we recorded a net loss of $6.8 million after preferred securities' dividends and accretion and discontinued operations, as compared to
a net loss of $453.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $0.39 (diluted) versus net loss per share of $25.61
(diluted) in 1999. During 1999, we recorded a $368.9 million loss from discontinued operations. The $368.9 million loss consisted of $333.6 million loss attributable to the
write-off of SNTL's investment in the five insurance companies seized and conserved by the CDI and $35.3 million loss attributable to the operations; no such charges
were recorded in 2000. During 2000, we recorded $12.3 million in dividend expense and accretion on preferred securities, as compared to $11.4 million in dividend expense and accretion on
preferred securities in 1999.

Results of Operations

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with principles of accounting applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities

22

---

in the normal course of business. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing and circumstances relating to this event, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. A
plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying values of assets and
liabilities which may be necessary as a consequence of a plan of reorganization. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, its ability to formulate a
plan of reorganization that will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, to achieve satisfactory levels of profitability and cash flow from operations and the preservation for, and utilization by, one
or more of SNTL's former stockholders or creditors, of SNTL's NOLs, See "BusinessTax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards".

Year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to year ended December 31, 2000

Commission income from front company business, see "BusinessFront Company Business", for the year ended December 31, 2001 was zero, as
compared to $28.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The $28.3 million decrease is due to the decrease in premiums generated from the run-off of the
fronting arrangements that existed at the time of the seizure of the liquidating companies by the CDI. Also, SNIS and SNIA have not entered into any new fronting arrangements and presently have no
source of commission revenue.

Underwriting
manager income was zero for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The underwriting
manager income in 2000 is a reimbursement from the liquidating companies to SNIS pursuant to the UMA effective January 1, 2000. See "BusinessUnderwriting Manager Agreement and
Claims Services Agreement".

Claims
services income was zero for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The claims services income
in 2000 is a reimbursement from the liquidating companies to SNIA pursuant to the CSA effective January 1, 2000. See "BusinessUnderwriting Manager Agreement and Claims Services
Agreement".

Other
operating expenses decreased $39.3 million or 82.3% to $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31,
2000. The large decrease is mainly due to the general and administrative expenses incurred in 2000 by SNIS and SNIA as a result of the services performed pursuant to the UMA and CMA, respectively. No
such services were performed by SNIS and SNIA in 2001.

The
$8.4 million of other operating expenses for 2001 consisted of $6.5 million in operating and administrative expenses and an additional $1.9 million accrual for
litigation expenses associated with the FHC Litigation. The $1.9 million accrual is in addition to the $5.0 million accrued in 1999, and reflects SNTL's best estimate at
December 31, 2001 for ultimate FHC litigation costs that will be incurred throughout the litigation process. See "Legal ProceedingsSuperior National
Insurance Group, Inc. v. Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and Milliman & Robertson, Inc."

Reorganization
items are income and expenses associated with the Company's Chapter 11 filing. For the year ended December 31, 2001, reorganization items, excluding net interest
income earned on accumulated cash resulting from Chapter 11 proceeding, was $2.7 million as compared to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The $2.7 million
incurred during 2001 consisted primarily of professional fees and the $2.3 million incurred during 2000 consisted of $2.0 million in professional fees and $0.3 million in
retention bonuses to key employees as incentive to remain employed during the Chapter 11 reorganization. The Company anticipates that additional reorganization costs will be incurred throughout the
Chapter 11 reorganization.

Net
investment income, excluding realized investment gains, decreased $1.1 million or 58.7% to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to the same
period in 2000. The decrease in investment income was due to a decrease in the average assets available for investment in 2001 as opposed

23

---

to 2000. Net investment income earned on accumulated cash resulting from Chapter 11 proceeding, in the amount of $715 thousand and $1.6 million has been classified on the consolidated
statement of operations as a reorganization item for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Interest
expense decreased $2.3 million or 18.6% to $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2000. The
decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the decrease in the variable interest rate of the long-term bank debt. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Year ended December 31, 2000 as compared to year ended December 31, 1999

Commission income from front company business, see "BusinessFront Company Business", for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 were
$28.3 million and $39.2 million, respectively. The $10.9 million decrease is primarily due to a decrease in premiums generated from the various fronting arrangements. In the
fourth quarter of 2000, we recorded a $12.6 million bad debt allowance against the commission receivables due from the front company business. This bad debt allowance was recorded to reflect
the uncertainty of collecting the commission receivable from the front companies since the front companies have filed claims against us in the Bankruptcy Court in excess of the accounts receivable. We
continue to assert rights of offset and other methods to effectuate collection of the commission receivable from the front company business.

Underwriting
manager income was $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to zero for the year ended December 31, 1999. The underwriting
manager income in 2000 is a reimbursement from the liquidating companies to SNIS pursuant to the UMA effective January 1, 2000. See "BusinessUnderwriting Manager Agreement and
Claims Services Agreement".

Claims
services income was $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to zero for the year ended December 31, 1999. The claims services income
in 2000 is a reimbursement from the liquidating companies to SNIA pursuant to the CSA effective January 1, 2000. See "BusinessUnderwriting Manager Agreement and Claims Services
Agreement".

Underwriting
management expense was zero for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to $39.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Since SNIS had no
employees, it contracted the employees of the discontinued insurance company operations to perform the services of SNIS's front company business in 1999 and prior. SNIS agreed to reimburse the
discontinued insurance company operations for an amount equal to the commission income SNIS received from the front company business. No such expense was incurred by SNIS in 2000, since SNIS had its
own employees.

Other
operating expenses increased $41.3 million or 645.3% to $47.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to the year ended December 31,
1999. The large increase is mainly due
to the general and administrative expenses incurred by SNIS and SNIA as a result of the services performed pursuant to the UMA and CMA, respectively. No such services were performed by SNIS and SNIA
in 1999.

Reorganization
items are income and expenses associated with the Company's Chapter 11 filing. For the year ended December 31, 2000, reorganization items, excluding net interest
income earned on accumulated cash resulting from Chapter 11 proceeding, was $2.3 million. The $2.3 million consisted of $2.0 million in professional fees and $0.3 million
in retention bonuses to key employees as incentive to remain employed during the Chapter 11 reorganization. The Company anticipates that additional reorganization costs will be incurred throughout the
Chapter 11 reorganization.

Net
investment income, excluding realized investment gains, increased $1.1 million or 137.5% to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to the
same period in 1999. The increase in investment income was due to an increase in the average assets available for investment in 2000 as opposed to 1999. In 2000, the net investment income earned on
accumulated cash resulting from Chapter 11

24

---

proceeding, in the amount of $1.6 million has been classified on the consolidated statement of operations as a reorganization item.

Interest
expense increased $2.1 million or 20.0% to $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared to the year ended December 31, 1999. The
increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increase in the variable interest rate of the long-term bank debt. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Discontinued
operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 recorded a loss of $368.9 million due to $333.6 million disposal of SNTL's investment in
the five insurance companies that the CDI seized and conserved, see "BusinessCalifornia Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation", as well as, a $35.3 million loss on current
year operations. Since the Company wrote-off its investment in discontinued operations in 1999 no such charge was recognized in 2000. The table below summarizes the components that make up
the results of discontinued operations. See "BusinessDiscontinued Insurance Company Operations."

Liquidity And Capital Resources

Under Chapter 11, actions to enforce certain claims against the Company are stayed if the claims arose, or are based on, events that occurred on or before the
filing date. The ultimate terms of settlement of these claims will be determined in accordance with a plan of reorganization which requires the approval of the impaired prepetition creditors and
stockholders and confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court. Other liabilities may arise or be subject to compromise as a result of rejection of executory contracts, including leases, or the Bankruptcy
Court's resolution of claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts. The ultimate resolution of such liabilities, all of which are subject to compromise, will be part of a plan of
reorganization. Until a plan of reorganization is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, only such payments on prepetition liabilities that are approved by the Bankruptcy Court will be made. There is no
assurance that our plan of reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

A
capital structure that will enable the Company to generate sufficient cash flow after reorganization to meet its restructured obligations and current obligations is an important part
of the plan of reorganization. Accordingly, the rights of prepetition creditors and the ultimate payment of their claims may be substantially altered and, in some cases, eliminated under the
Bankruptcy Code. It is not possible at this time to predict the ultimate outcome of the Chapter 11 filing or its effects on the Company's business or on the interests of creditors or stockholders.

---

We have no current revenue source because we no longer are receiving revenue from the underwriting and claims management agreements we entered into prior to the bankruptcy filing and we
have not entered into any new underwriting and claims management agreements. See "Front Company Business." Even though we anticipate entering into an arrangement that will produce operating revenue
for us after the Bankruptcy Court confirms our Plan of Reorganization, there can be no assurance that our plan of reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. Even if our Plan
of Reorganization is approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, with no current revenue source, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient cash flow to meet our operating obligations
before our plan of reorganization is approved or confirmed. If we cannot meet our current obligations, we will need to obtain debtor-in-possession financing that would have
priority in right of repayment to our pre-petition liabilities, or we would have to liquidate our remaining assets, jeopardizing our ability to meet the requirements for utilizing our NOLs
to satisfy pre-petition liabilities or return capital to our stockholders.

Year to Year Comparison

During the year ended December 31, 2001, net cash used by operating activities was $9.3 million as opposed to cash provided of $7.6 million
in the year ended December 31, 2000. The $16.9 million increase in cash used is primarily due to $9.3 million of cash used in 2001 that was the result of the continued funding of
operations and reorganization costs without the offset of any significant revenues that generate cash. In addition, SNIS received $10.5 million of consideration in 2000 from the CDI pursuant to
the Global Settlement Agreement in September 2000. See "BusinessGlobal Settlement Agreement."SNTL also received $1.9 million
in 2000 from the liquidating companies as a result of the CCIC/CCCC merger termination. See "BusinessCalifornia Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation." At December 31,
2001, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $12.3 million. Reorganization costs for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 consisted primarily of professional fees. Cash paid for
reorganization items totaled $1.8 million and $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Net
cash provided by financing activities was zero during the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to cash generated of $101 thousand during the year ended
December 31, 2000. The $101 thousand decrease in cash provided is due to the absence of any financing activities in 2001.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" and we have recorded in our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 our best estimate of the true liabilities subject to compromise in our
reorganization proceedings of approximately $268,965,000. Our plan of reorganization, if ultimately approved by the Company's impaired prepetition creditors and stockholders and confirmed by the
Bankruptcy Court, may materially change the amounts and terms of these prepetition liabilities. Such amounts are estimated as of December 31, 2001, and the Company anticipates that claims filed
with the Bankruptcy Court by the Company's creditors will be reconciled to the Company's financial records. The additional liability arising from this reconciliation process, if any, is not subject to
reasonable estimation, and accordingly, no provision has been recorded for these possible claims. The termination of other contractual obligations and the settlement of disputed claims may create
additional prepetition liabilities. Such amounts, if any, will be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as they are identified and become subject to reasonable estimation.

We
have capitalized the costs of our internally developed software for internal use according to Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." In 2001, we continued our project, which began in October 2000, to resurrect, update, and expand our premium and claim system software that we received
copies of pursuant to the Global Settlement Agreement. See "The Global Settlement Agreement." The capital expenditures relating to

26

---

this project totaled $2.1 million and $0.2 million in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The estimated cost to complete all phases of this project by July 2002 is approximately
$0.8 million. The capital expenditures, net of amortization for phases of this project in service, are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as Capitalized internally developed software
costs in the amount of $2.1 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. As each phase of the project is placed in service, the software will be amortized
by the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, which is currently estimated at seven years. However, the remaining useful life of our software will necessarily depend on facts
and circumstances in the future, such as possible future technological innovations, changes in operating strategies, or failure to obtain approval and confirmation of our Plan of Reorganization by the
Bankruptcy Court. If any one of these events takes place, the Company will be required write-down the value of this asset as a charge to operations.

Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties

The Company has engaged several former SNTL employees and certain related parties to provide consultation services in the areas of technical support, software
development, and litigation support. Most of the former employees terminated their employment with the liquidating companies from 1996 to 2000. There are a few consultants who are still currently
employed with the liquidating companies. In addition, some of the former employees left to pursue job opportunities with companies that are currently providing products and/or services to us. The
following describes the business purpose of the various arrangements and the associated payments. There are no contractual or other commitments as a result of the business arrangement.

Edward Shoop, a former SNTL senior executive, was engaged in November 2000 to provide actuarial consultation related to the FHC
litigation. We made payments to Edward Shoop for fees and expenses totaling $90 thousand and $4 thousand in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Exigenwas engaged in 2001 to provide us with the Document Imaging Workflow software that would allow users of the claims system to
operate in a paperless environment. Exigen currently employs two former SNTL senior executives, Hal Fedora and Dale O'Brien. Despite this association, it in no way affected our decision process to
select Exigen for its products and services. We made payments to Exigen totaling $521 thousand in 2001.

Intransaction, Inc.was engaged in November 2000 to develop E-Comp Quote, which is an internet based policy
quoting system. In addition, Intransaction handles the internet security access function. Intransaction, Inc. is owned and operated by Najib Syed, a former SNTL data processing employee. We
made payments to Intransaction, Inc. totaling $93 thousand and $16 thousand in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Microserve Computer Co.("Microserve") was engaged in 2001 to develop our corporate website, as well as the policy and claim forms for
each state. Microserve currently employs a former SNTL data processing employee, Gene Rivera. We made payments to Microserve totaling $17 thousand in 2001.

WorldGroup Consulting, Inc.("WorldGroup") was engaged in 2001 to provide general technical consultation and provide
recommendations on improvements to our systems due to their specialization in the insurance industry. They also developed the ACH/credit card interface between our policy system and the bank.
WorldGroup currently employs a former SNTL data processing employee, Persi Kanga. We made payments to WorldGroup totaling $128 thousand in 2001.

Superior National Insurance Companies in Liquidation("SNICIL") was engaged in 2001 to provide historical claims and policy
data to assist us in the FHC litigation. We made payments to SNICIL totaling $16 thousand in 2001.

Other technical consultants, who were former SNTL data processing employees, were employed in 2000 and 2001 to upgrade our policy, claims,
and reporting systems to current technology. They were also engaged to expand our California only system to a national system. Despite the fact that they were former employees, the Company engaged
them as technical consultants due to their expertise and knowledge in the particular systems and areas where the Company did not have the manpower to train
new employees. We made payments to these consultants totaling $92 thousand and $6 thousand in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Hench Engineering, Inc.("Hench") is owned and operated by Chris Henchy, a SNTL shareholder. He currently owns approximately
250,000 shares of common stock, which approximates 1.4% of the total common stock outstanding. We have an outsourcing arrangement whereby Hench provides technical support in the following capacity:



We
made payments to Hench totaling $202 thousand and $10 thousand in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Pursuant
to the Plan, Cap Z or its assignee or affiliate is to receive a $25 million Administrative Claim for its substantial contribution in formulating the Plan. Cap Z has
provided critical support and service in arriving at a SNTL Acquiror. Besides finding the appropriate candidate to sponsor the Plan, Cap Z was also instrumental in finding the sponsor the requisite
management consultant team to implement SNIS and SNIA's reorganization. Cap Z is to receive an Allowed Administrative Claim for $25 million, which will be paid as an Unsecured Claim.

Seaman
Insurance Investors, L.L.C. ("SII") is a California limited liability company formed for the purpose of making equity investments in funds and portfolio companies. J. Chris
Seaman, President and CEO of SNTL, is the appointed manager of SII. SII is one of approximately 104 limited partners in Capital Z Financial Services Fund II, L.P. SNTL is one of approximately 40
investors in SII. We invested $50.0 thousand, $150.0 thousand, and $300.0 thousand during 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively, completing our $0.5 million commitment to SII.

In
November of 1999, SNTL entered into agreements with Thomas I. Boggs, Jr., Arnold J. Senter, William L. Gentz, Robert E. Nagle and J. Chris Seaman (all officers of SNTL at the time of
entering into these agreements), each of whom had purchased shares of SNTL in the 1998 rights offering. SNTL lent funds to the participants sufficient to pay the purchase price for the common stock
and any resulting tax liability and the participants signed a promissory note, and pledged to SNTL, as collateral, stock options, warrants and shares of common stock and restricted stock (including
shares of common stock purchased in the rights offering). Under the terms of this pledge, if the amount outstanding under any promissory note (including interest) exceeds the value of the collateral,
then the borrower is
obligated to either prepay a portion of the promissory note or pledge additional securities as collateral, in either case, in an amount equal to the shortfall. The agreements provided that the
collateral securing the promissory notes would be valued at no less than $10 per share in the event that the note became due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events, including conservation
of SNTL's insurance companies, and no more than $20 per share in any event. Following the conservation and seizure in March 2000, the Company exercised its right to apply the
collateral, valued at $10 per share pursuant to the agreements, to the amounts due and payable under the promissory notes. Consequently, all promissory notes were retired.

Other Events

In December 1998, the acquisition of BIG was funded with (a) senior debt financing in the amount of $110.0 million and (b) equity
financing in the amount of $200.1 million. The senior debt financing was obtained pursuant to the terms of a Credit Agreement dated as of December 10, 1998, among SNTL, Chase, as
administrative agent, and various lending institutions ("long-term bank debt"). Prior to incurring the indebtedness, we obtained the consent of holders of the outstanding Trust Preferred
Securities of the Trust, a subsidiary of SNTL, authorizing the Preferred Trustee of the Trust to waive a provision of the covenant limiting the incurrence of indebtedness set forth in the Senior
Subordinated Indenture dated as of December 3, 1997 between SNTL, as issuer, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. This waiver was effected pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of November 17, 1998, between SNTL and the Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. However, on April 26, 2000 we filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code, as described in BusinessChapter 11 Petition and Reorganization. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, all required repayments of principal and interest under the terms of the Credit
Agreement for the long-term bank debt have been suspended, except for a $5.4 million distribution, less certain bank expenses charged to SNTL, plus interest, all netting to
$5.2 million, was paid to the bank syndicate on December 4, 2000, pursuant to a November 9, 2000, order by the Bankruptcy Court. See "BusinessCommercial Compensation
Casualty Company Merger and Distribution." We have continued to accrue interest on the long-term bank debt, per the terms of SNTL being in default of the Credit Agreement, at a rate that
equals the Prime Rate plus 2%. The long-term bank debt principal and interest are classified on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 and 2000, under the category of
liabilities subject to compromise under reorganization proceedings.

The
equity financing was obtained pursuant to (a) the sale of 1,902,233 shares of our common stock for $31.9 million, in connection with the exercise of subscription rights
("Rights") to purchase common stock distributed to existing stockholders (other than IP Delaware and IP Bermuda) and warrant holders (the "Rights Offering"), (b) the sale of 620,610 shares of
common stock for $10.4 million, all paid in the form of promissory notes in favor of SNTL, in connection with the Rights Offering to holders of SNTL's stock options and
restricted common stock (the "Employee Participation"), and (c) the private placement (the "IP Stock Issuance") pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below) of
(i) 5,276,960 shares of common stock for $88.4 million to IP II, (ii) 2,949,594 shares of common stock for $49.4 million to IP Delaware and (iii) 1,196,588 shares of
common stock for $20.0 million to IP Bermuda. All of the shares were sold at $16.75 per share. Employees purchasing common stock in the Employee Participation included William L. Gentz (a
former director and executive officer of SNTL) and J. Chris Seaman (a current director and executive officer of SNTL. Prior to the consummation of the acquisition of BIG, IP Delaware and IP Bermuda
beneficially owned approximately 23% and 13%, respectively, of the then outstanding shares of common stock. IP II owned no shares of common stock prior to the consummation of the acquisition of BIG.
Robert A. Spass, Steven B. Gruber and Bradley E. Cooper, directors of SNTL, own certain direct and indirect
limited partnership interests some of the limited partnerships that are the direct or indirect general partners of IP Delaware and IP Bermuda. Messrs. Gruber and Spass are officers of the
ultimate general partners of IP Delaware and IP Bermuda and Messrs. Spass and Cooper are officers of Capital Z Partners, Ltd. ("Cap Z"), the ultimate general partner of IP II. Certain
members of SNTL's management are investors in an investment fund that is a limited partner of IP II.

Pursuant
to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of May 5, 1998 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") among SNTL and IP Delaware, IP Bermuda and Cap Z (Cap Z subsequently
assigned its rights and obligations thereunder to IP II) (collectively, the "Purchasers"), SNTL agreed to pay a commitment fee in the form of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 734,000 shares
of our common stock at $16.75 per share to the Purchasers or their designees (or, in the case of Cap Z, assignee) and Zurich Centre Investments Limited ("ZCIL") or its designee as
compensation, in the case of the Purchasers, for agreeing to purchase that number of shares necessary to bring the total proceeds of the Rights Offering, Employee Participation and the IP Stock
Issuance to $200.0 million, and, in the case of ZCIL, for ZCIL's

29

---

providing certain financing commitments to the Purchasers under the Stock Purchase Agreement. See "Certain Relationships and Related TransactionsSale of Common Stock to the IP
Partnerships and Limitations on Related Party Control of SNTL." In addition, SNTL paid to designees of the Purchasers fees totaling $3.9 million in consideration of their providing SNTL with
the opportunity to undertake the acquisition of BIG, originating a portion of the financing for the acquisition of BIG and assisting in negotiating the terms of the acquisition of BIG.

On
December 3, 1997, the Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of SNTL, issued its Trust Preferred Securities, having an aggregate liquidation amount of $105 million, in a
private placement and also issued to SNTL, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $3.25 million, all of the Trust's common securities. The proceeds from the sale of these securities
were used by the Trust to purchase SNTL's Senior Subordinated Notes. On January 16, 1998, SNTL and the Trust completed the registration with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of an exchange offer for the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, Senior Subordinated Notes and related Company Guarantee, pursuant to which substantially all of these securities were
exchanged for substantially similar securities.

As
a result of our Chapter 11 filing, distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities (and interest on the related Senior Subordinated Notes) payable semi-annually, in
arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 1998 have been suspended. We have continued to accrue interest at a rate of 10.75% per annum compounded
semi-annually. The Trust Preferred Securities and interest are classified on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2000, under the category of liabilities subject to
compromise under reorganization proceedings. As a result of the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings, the Trustee of the Trust has the right at any time to cause the holders of Preferred Securities
to exchange their securities for the Senior Subordinated Notes held by the Trust.

We
are party to two leases principally associated with our home office in Agoura Hills and branch office in Denver. Our minimum lease commitment with respect to these leases in 2002 is
approximately $248 thousand. The home office lease expires in 2003. In order to reduce the potential risk to the lessor, there is a provision in the lease for the Denver office location that
the lease is a month-to-month
tenancy until such time as the Plan of Reorganization is effective, which is termed the conversion date. For the purpose of calculating an estimate of the minimum lease payments we assumed a
conversion date of July 1, 2002. However, there is no assurance that a plan of reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. From and after the conversion date, this
lease will be converted to a tenancy for a thirty-six month term.

While
the Company anticipates that additional reorganization costs will be incurred throughout the Chapter 11 reorganization, we do not presently foresee any expenditures during the next
twelve months other than those arising in the normal course of business.

The
effect of inflation on our revenues and net income during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was not significant.

Taxes

Our 2000 and prior consolidated federal income tax returns reflected approximately $1.0 billion of NOLs. The Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") permits NOLs to
be carried back two years, or carried forward 20 years, to offset any consolidated taxable income in those years. Approximately $256.2 million of SNTL's
$1.0 billion of NOLs was generated in 2000, and, if not used in future years, will expire at the end of 2020. Approximately $577.0 million of NOLs generated in 1999 expire at the end of
2019 and the remaining $193.0 million of NOLs expire between 2001 and 2018. SNTL's 1998 and 1999 consolidated returns did not generate taxable income, so there is no benefit to
be gained from carrying-back any of our NOLs. We expect that our 2001 consolidated return will result in an additional increase to our NOLs at December 31, 2001. The NOLs have value
to the extent they can be used in future years to offset SNTL's taxable income, if any, prior to the NOL's expiration dates. Our ability to continue as a going concern is

30

---

contingent upon, among other things, its ability to formulate a plan of reorganization that will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, to achieve satisfactory levels of profitability and cash flow
from operations and the preservation for, and utilization by, one or more of SNTL's former stockholders or creditors, of SNTL's NOLs, See BusinessTax Net
Operating Loss Carryforwards. Since there is no assurance that a plan of reorganization will be proposed, approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, we recorded on our consolidated financial
statements a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax asset for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our consolidated balance sheet includes assets and liabilities whose fair values are subject to market risks. Due to our insignificant level of investments in
fixed maturity securities (bonds) and equity securities, we have limited exposure to interest rate risk and equity price risk. The following sections address the significant market risks associated
with our financial activities as of December 31, 2001.

Caution
should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information below, since actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used.

Interest Rate Risk

We employ a conservative investment strategy emphasizing asset quality and the matching of maturities of our fixed maturity investments to our anticipated
expenditures and other liabilities. As of December 31, 2001, our fixed maturity portfolio represented 1.6% of our total assets and 2.8% of our invested assets. Management intends to hold all of
our fixed maturity investments for indefinite periods of time but these investments are available for sale in response to changes in interest rates, tax planning considerations or other aspects of
asset/liability management. We do not utilize stand-alone derivatives to manage interest rate risks.

Our
fixed maturity investments, notes payable and notes payable to bank are subject to interest rate risk. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into
decreases and increases in fair values of those instruments. Additionally, fair values of interest rate sensitive instruments may be

31

---

affected by the credit worthiness of the issuer, relative values of alternative investments, the liquidity of the instrument and other general market conditions.

The
table below summarizes the estimated effects of hypothetical increases and decreases in interest rates. It is assumed that the changes occur immediately and uniformly to each
category of instrument containing interest rate risks. The hypothetical changes in market interest rates reflect what could be deemed best or worst case scenarios.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Insiders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based

for the then-remaining term of his agreement. This termination benefit shall be a minimum of two years' salary. In the event of termination of Mr. Seaman's employment or a
significant diminution of Mr. Seaman's duties and responsibilities in connection with a change in control of Superior National, Mr. Seaman would be deemed terminated without cause and
his employment agreement would be deemed to have a three-year remaining term.

Robert E. Nagle,Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Mr. Nagle's agreement expired on November 17, 2001,
but automatically renews in one-year increments unless notification of non-renewal is given sixty days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. His annual

Change in Control Arrangements

In addition to the rights described above with respect to Messrs. Seaman and Nagle, the only change in control arrangements that we have are in our stock
incentive plans. No stock issued under those plans has any material value.

Equity Incentive Grants

Officers, key employees, including directors who are key employees, and consultants chosen by the Compensation Committee are eligible to participate in our 1995
Plan.

Under
our 1995 Plan, officers, key employees, and consultants of ours or our subsidiaries may be granted options to purchase shares of our common stock or they may be given the
opportunity to purchase shares of our restricted stock. Our 1995 Plan allows us to grant both options that qualify for treatment as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code and those that do not, referred to as nonqualified stock options. Our 1995 Plan also allows us to issue shares of restricted stock that we can repurchase upon the occurrence of certain
events such as the termination of a
participant's employment. Our repurchase right expires over time following the grant date of the restricted stock.

Our
1986 Plan allowed us to issue to employees of ours and our subsidiaries nonqualified stock options and rights to purchase shares of common stock. The Board terminated the purchase
right aspect of the 1986 Plan in 1989. Following our adoption of the 1995 Plan, the Board of Directors decided to make no further grants under the 1986 Plan.

Option Grants in 2001

There were no options granted during 2001 to each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table set forth above under "Executive
Compensation."

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company has engaged several former SNTL employees and certain related parties to provide consultation services in the areas of technical support, software
development, and litigation support. Most of the former employees terminated their employment with the liquidating companies from 1996 to 2000. There are a few consultants who are still currently
employed with the liquidating companies. In addition, some of the former employees left to pursue job opportunities with companies that are currently providing products and/or services to us. The
following describes the business purpose of the various arrangements and the associated payments. There are no contractual or other commitments as a result of the business arrangement.

Edward Shoop, a former SNTL senior executive, was engaged in November 2000 to provide actuarial consultation related to the FHC
litigation. We made payments to Edward Shoop for fees and expenses totaling $90 thousand and $4 thousand in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Exigenwas engaged in 2001 to provide us with the Document Imaging Workflow software that would allow users of the claims system to
operate in a paperless environment. Exigen currently employs two former SNTL senior executives, Hal Fedora and Dale O'Brien. Despite this association, it in no way affected our decision process to
select Exigen for its products and services. We made payments to Exigen totaling $521 thousand in 2001.

Intransaction, Inc.was engaged in November 2000 to develop E-Comp Quote, which is an internet based policy
quoting system. In addition, Intransaction handles the internet security access function. Intransaction, Inc. is owned and operated by Najib Syed, a former SNTL data processing employee. We
made payments to Intransaction, Inc. totaling $93 thousand and $16 thousand in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Microserve Computer Co.("Microserve") was engaged in 2001 to develop our corporate website, as well as the policy and claim forms for
each state. Microserve currently employs a former SNTL data processing employee, Gene Rivera. We made payments to Microserve totaling $17 thousand in 2001.

WorldGroup Consulting, Inc.("WorldGroup") was engaged in 2001 to provide general technical consultation and provide
recommendations on improvements to our systems due to their specialization in the insurance industry. They also developed the ACH/credit card interface between our policy system and the bank.
WorldGroup currently employs a former SNTL data processing employee, Persi Kanga. We made payments to WorldGroup totaling $128 thousand in 2001.

Superior National Insurance Companies in Liquidation("SNICIL") was engaged in 2001 to provide historical claims and policy
data to assist us in the FHC litigation. We made payments to SNICIL totaling $16 thousand in 2001.

Other technical consultants, who were former SNTL data processing employees, were employed in 2000 and 2001 to upgrade our policy, claims,
and reporting systems to current technology. They were also engaged to expand our California only system to a national system. Despite the fact that they were former employees, the Company engaged
them as technical consultants due to their expertise and knowledge in the particular systems and areas where the Company did not have the manpower to train new employees. We made payments to these
consultants totaling $92 thousand and $6 thousand in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Hench Engineering, Inc.("Hench") is owned and operated by Chris Henchy, a SNTL shareholder. He owns approximately 250,000 shares
of common stock, which approximates 1.4% of the total common stock outstanding. We have an outsourcing arrangement whereby Hench provides technical support in the following capacity:



We
made payments to Hench totaling $202 thousand and $10 thousand in 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Pursuant
to the Plan, Cap Z or its assignee or affiliate is to receive a $25 million Administrative Claim for its substantial contribution in formulating the Plan. Cap Z has
provided critical support and service in arriving at a SNTL Acquiror. Besides finding the appropriate candidate to sponsor the Plan, Cap Z was also instrumental in finding the sponsor the requisite
management consultant team to implement SNIS and SNIA's reorganization. Cap Z is to receive an Allowed Administrative Claim for $25 million, which will be paid as an Unsecured Claim.

SII
is a California limited liability company formed for the purpose of making equity investments in funds and portfolio companies. J. Chris Seaman, President and CEO of SNTL, is the
appointed manager of SII. SII is one of approximately 104 limited partners in Capital Z Financial Services Fund II, L.P. SNTL is one of approximately 40 investors in SII. We invested
$50.0 thousand, $150.0 thousand, and $300.0 thousand during 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively, completing our $0.5 million commitment to SII.

Sale of BICO; Issuance of Warrants

In mid-December 1998, we sold Business Insurance Company ("BICO") to Centre Solutions Holdings (Delaware) Limited ("Centre Holdings") for
approximately $11.7 million. We arrived at the BICO purchase price by means of arm's length bargaining with Centre Holdings. BICO was a subsidiary of Holdings, both of which we acquired in
early December 1998. An additional $0.6 million of the purchase price was withheld by Centre Holdings and, subject to possible downward adjustments specified in the purchase agreement,
was to have been paid to us in September 1999. Centre Holdings did not make the

42

---

payment, asserting a right to set off such amount against other amounts they asserted we owed to Centre Holdings and its affiliates. Due to the size of Centre Holdings' claims in the bankruptcy
court, we have written off the full amount of this receivable on our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2001. However, we continue to assert our right to collect this receivable.
Prior to the sale of BICO, under the terms of the Loss Portfolio Transfer and 100% Quota Share Reinsurance Contract among BICO, CalComp and SNIC, CalComp, as the reinsurer, assumed BICO's insurance
business (excluding BICO's licenses and statutory capital) and liabilities, and received assets with the fair market value equal to the liabilities assumed.

SNIC
unconditionally guarantees the performance and payment of CalComp's obligations under this contract.

As
a condition to the sale of BICO, CalComp entered into a 100% Quota Share Reinsurance agreement with CIC (formerly BICO) under which CIC provided SNTL with a "fronting" facility. See
"BusinessFront Company Business."

Centre
Holdings is an affiliate of Zurich and Zurich is the owner of CentreLine and Centre Solutions, both of which have invested in our securities. In addition, several affiliates of
Zurich are significant investors in IP II, IP Delaware and/or IP Bermuda. IP II, IP Delaware, and IP Bermuda purchased a significant percentage of the common stock we sold to finance our acquisition
of BIG. See "Sale of Common Stock to the IP Partnerships and Limitations on Related Party Control of SNTL" below.

Sale of Common Stock to the IP Partnerships and Limitations on Related Party Control of SNTL

Sale of Common Stock to the IP Partnerships

In December 1998, we privately sold approximately $158 million of our common stock to IP II, IP Delaware, and IP Bermuda. At the same time we
also completed our public rights offering under which we offered subscription rights to purchase our common stock to all of our stockholders (except for IP Delaware and IP Bermuda), warrant
holders and to holders of our stock options and shares of restricted stock. Those directors and executive officers of SNTL who owned common stock and warrants, by virtue of these holdings, had the
opportunity to purchase shares of common stock in the rights offering. These offerings provided a significant portion of the financing we needed to purchase Holdings.

Robert
A. Spass and Bradley E. Cooper, who are directors of the Company, are officers of the ultimate general partner of IP II and each owns 9.9% of its voting capital stock. In
addition, some members of our former and current management, including William L. Gentz and Arnold J. Senter, (former management) and J. Chris Seaman (current management) are investors in an
investment fund that is a limited partner of IP II.

Mr. Spass
and Steven B. Gruber, who are directors of SNTL, are executive officers of the ultimate general partner of IP Delaware and IP Bermuda. In addition, Messrs. Spass,
Gruber, and Cooper own direct or indirect limited partnership interests in some of the limited partnerships that are the direct or indirect general partners of IP Delaware and IP Bermuda.

The
Board of Directors, without Messrs. Spass, Gruber, and Cooper, who disclosed their conflict of interest, withdrew from the discussion, and abstained from the voting,
unanimously approved the terms of the sale of common stock to the IP partnerships.

Under
the terms of our stock offering to the IP partnerships, they agreed to purchase 5,611,940 shares of our common stock at $16.75 per share, for a total of $94.0 million. They
also agreed to provide a standby commitment under which they would purchase up to an additional 6,328,358 shares of common stock at
$16.75 per share in an amount of shares necessary to bring the total proceeds of the private sale to the IP partnerships and the public sale of common stock under the rights offering to
$200.0 million. Our independent directors, on behalf of SNTL, negotiated the $16.75 subscription price and the terms of the

43

---

stock purchase agreement governing the sale to the IP partnerships. Because the $16.75 price equaled the subscription price in the rights offering and this price was set with the intention of
inducing participation by our stockholders, the $16.75 price represented a discount to the market price of our common stock at the time the price was determined.

On
December 10, 1998 the IP partnerships exercised their standby commitment, which, combined with the minimum number of shares of common stock they agreed to purchase, resulted in
(1) IP II purchasing 5,276,960 shares of common stock for $88.4 million, (2) IP Delaware purchasing 2,949,594 shares of common stock for $49.4 million, and (3) IP
Bermuda purchasing 1,196,588 shares of common stock for $20.0 million.

On
December 10, 1998 we paid a commitment fee to the IP partnerships in the form of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 734,000 shares of common stock at $16.75 per share for
agreeing to provide the standby commitment. The warrants expire on December 10, 2003. IP II assigned the warrants it was entitled to receive to Zurich Centre Group Holdings Limited as
compensation for its providing certain financing commitments to the IP partnerships under the stock purchase agreement. We paid this commitment fee by issuing (1) 229,754 warrants to IP
Delaware, (2) 93,206 warrants to IP Bermuda, (3) 205,520 warrants to Zurich Centre Group Holdings Limited, and (4) 205,520 warrants to various principals and designees of
the ultimate general partner of IP II. Robert A. Spass and Bradley E. Cooper, who are directors of SNTL and officers and equity holders of that general partner, received 32,825 warrants and 16,413
warrants, respectively, from the general partner. See footnotes 2, 3 and 4 to the preceding "Principal Beneficial Owners" table for additional information concerning the relationship of Mssr. Spass,
Gruber, and Cooper to IP Delaware, IP Bermuda, and IP II.

In
connection with our stock offering to the IP partnerships, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement under which we agreed to provide the IP partnerships and some of their
affiliates with registration rights that allow them to require SNTL to prepare and file with the SEC registration statements under the Securities Act covering the public offer and sale of shares they
hold and to use its best efforts to cause these registration statements to be declared effective. We also agreed under this agreement to provide these same stockholders with customary "piggyback"
registration rights that allow them to register shares if and when SNTL proposes to sell any of its common stock to the public in a transaction registered under the Securities Act. This agreement
superseded an earlier Registration Rights Agreement that we entered into in 1996 with IP Delaware and IP Bermuda that contained similar provisions.

In
addition, we paid to designees of the IP partnerships fees totaling $3.9 million in consideration of the IP partnerships providing us with the opportunity to undertake the BIG
acquisition, originating a portion of the financing for the acquisition, and assisting us in negotiating the terms of the acquisition.

Limitations on Related Parties Control of SNTL

The stock purchase agreement governing the terms of the stock sale to the IP partnerships contains, in addition to customary terms and provisions, including
customary representations and warranties, covenants, and reciprocal indemnification provisions, several covenants by the IP partnerships that shall remain effective so long as the IP
partnerships and their associates beneficially own an aggregate of 15% or more of our common stock on a diluted basis. As used in the stock purchase agreement, the term "associates" means CentreLine,
Centre Re, Centre Solutions, IIA, and any person or entity that controls, is under common control with, or is controlled by any of the IP partnerships or those persons or entities, and all
individuals who are officers, directors, or control persons of any those entities, including IP II, IP Delaware and IP Bermuda.

44

---

Some
of the covenants provide that:



Covenant
number 4 above may be waived by a two-third majority vote of (1) the directors not affiliated with the IP partnerships or their associates or (2) the
stockholders other than the IP partnerships and their associates.

This
stock purchase agreement superseded a previous stock purchase agreement that we entered into in 1996 with IP Delaware, IP Bermuda, and others that contained similar covenants.

Participation by Management in the Rights Offering

In approving the rights offering to SNTL's stockholders described above, the Board of Directors decided to allow employees and consultants of SNTL
who held stock options and shares of restricted stock to receive similar subscription rights. We distributed to these holders the same form of subscription right issued in the rights offering,
including an identical $16.75 subscription price, except that each employee and consultant was required to agree that his or her rights were non-transferable.

In
addition, the Board of Directors authorized SNTL to lend funds to the participants sufficient to pay the purchase price for the common stock and any resulting tax liability if the
participant signed a promissory note, and pledged to SNTL, as collateral, stock options, warrants and shares of common stock and restricted stock (including shares of common stock purchased in the
rights offering). The amount of money that could be borrowed was limited to 66% of the total value of the collateral that was pledged. The value of a share of our common stock was based on an average
of the closing sales price and the value of an option or warrant was equal to this value minus its exercise price. The annual interest rate on the promissory notes is 5.4% and accrued interest is
payable on each December 31. The principal amount of each promissory note will be due in a lump sum on the earlier of December 10, 2008, or the date on which the borrower is no longer an
employee or consultant of SNTL (unless his or her termination results from death or permanent disability, in which case the payment terms extend). The loan can be partially or entirely prepaid at any
time without penalty.

Under
the terms of this pledge, if the amount outstanding under any promissory note (including interest) exceeds the value of the collateral, then the borrower is obligated to either
prepay a portion of the promissory note or pledge additional securities as collateral, in either case, in an amount equal to the shortfall. If a borrower decides to sell any of the securities he or
she has pledged as collateral, then a portion of the proceeds must be used to pay all accrued and unpaid interest and a percentage of the outstanding principal of the promissory note based upon the
number of shares sold and the number of shares purchased with the promissory note. In addition, if a borrower should default under the terms of the pledge, which includes his or her ceasing to be an
employee or consultant of SNTL (other than in the case

45

---

of death or permanent disability), then SNTL shall have the right to sell all or any part of the pledged securities.

In
November of 1999, SNTL entered into agreements with Thomas I. Boggs, Jr., Arnold J. Senter, William L. Gentz, Robert E. Nagle and J. Chris Seaman (all officers of SNTL at the time of
entering into these agreements), each of whom had purchased shares of SNTL in the 1998 rights offering. The agreements provided that the collateral securing the promissory notes would be valued at no
less than
$10 per share in the event that the note became due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events, including conservation of SNTL's insurance companies, and no more than $20 per
share in any event. Following the conservation and seizure in March 2000, the Company exercised its right to apply the collateral, valued at $10 per share pursuant to the agreements, to the
amounts due and payable under the promissory note. Consequently, all promissory notes were retired.

Independent Auditors' Report

The
Board of Directors
SNTL Corporation:

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SNTL Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 SNTL Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of the Company's
operations and realization of its assets and payments of its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As more fully described in the Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, on
April 26, 2000, the Company and certain subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The uncertainties inherent in the
bankruptcy process and the Company's recurring
losses from operations raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is currently operating its business as a
Debtor-in-Possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, and continuation of the Company as a going concern is contingent upon, among other things, the confirmation
of a Plan of Reorganization and the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash from operations and obtain financing sources to meet its future obligations. If no reorganization plan is approved, it
is possible that the Company's assets may be liquidated. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

SNTL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS        December 31, 2001 and 2000        (Amounts in thousands except per
share data)

1. Significant Events and Basis of Reporting

On April 26, 2000, SNTL Corporation ("SNTL") formerly known as Superior National Insurance Group, Inc., SNTL Holdings Corporation
("Holdings") formerly known as Business Insurance Group, Inc. ("BIG"), SN Insurance Services, Inc. ("SNIS"), and SN Insurance Administrators, Inc. ("SNIA"), ("the Chapter 11
companies" or "Debtors-in-Possession") filed a petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court ("Bankruptcy Court") seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. On October 31, 2001, the Chapter 11 companies filed their Chapter 11 Joint Plan of Reorganization and Original Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court. See
Note 3Chapter 11 Petition and Reorganization.

The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SNTL and all subsidiaries (together with SNTL, referred to as "we," "us," "our," "SNTL" and "the Company").
SNTL owns Holdings which is an intermediate holding company and was the surviving company in its January 1999 merger with Superior Pacific Insurance Group, Inc., a former wholly owned
subsidiary of SNTL. Holdings owns nine, direct, wholly owned subsidiaries: SNIS, SNIA, InfoNet Management Systems, Inc. ("InfoNet"), Pacific Insurance Brokerage, Inc. ("Pacific"),
Superior National Insurance Company ("SNIC"), Superior Pacific Casualty Company ("SPCC"), California Compensation Insurance Company ("CalComp"), Combined Benefits Insurance Company ("CBIC"), and
Commercial Compensation Casualty Company ("CCCC"). Holdings' two operating subsidiaries, SNIS and SNIA, are a managing general agent and third party claims administrator, respectively, specializing in
workers' compensation risks and services. InfoNet historically provided data processing purchasing services to SNTL, but is now inactive. Pacific has been
inactive for over ten years. Holdings no longer controls the assets and operations of its insurance companies that were seized and conserved by the California Department of Insurance ("CDI") including
CalComp, CBIC, CCCC, SNIC, and SPCC ("liquidating companies"), but remains the legal owner of their common shares, see Note 2California Insurance Department
Seizure and Conservation. SNTL also owns a reinsurance company domiciled in the nation of Bermuda named Superior (Bermuda) Ltd ("SBL"). InfoNet, Pacific,
and SBL are not Debtors-in-Possession.

SNTL
is the ultimate parent of a group of five insurance companies that underwrote workers' compensation, and a limited amount of group health, insurance throughout the United States.
The group of insurance companies owned directly and indirectly by SNTL were one of the top ten underwriters of workers' compensation insurance in the United States, as measured by direct written
premiums. Accordingly, when we prepared our consolidated financial statements using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), SNTL reported as a property and
liability insurance company. We do not believe it relevant to discuss and analyze SNTL's financial statements today in comparison with our financial statements filed in prior years,
because the nature of our business is quite different as compared to all prior years. The operations of the five insurance companies are reflected in our consolidated financial statements for the
years 1999 and prior as discontinued operations. The reason for this is due to the seizure and conservation by the CDI in March 2000, as discussed in
Note 2California Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation.

Our
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that vary in certain respects from
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by state insurance regulatory authorities. The results of all significant

F-8

---

intercompany transactions have been eliminated, except for agency operations with discontinued companies.

Under
Chapter 11, actions to enforce claims against the Company are stayed if the claims arose, or based on events that occurred, on or before the petition date of April 26, 2000.
Liabilities may arise or be subject to compromise as a result of rejection of executory contracts, including leases, or the Bankruptcy Court's resolution of claims for contingencies and other disputed
amounts. Liabilities subject to compromise (see Note 9) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet represent the Company's estimate of liabilities as of December 31, 2001, subject to
adjustment in the reorganization process.

Our
consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the
Bankruptcy Code" and have prepared in conformity with principles of accounting applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing and circumstances relating to this event, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. Our plan of
reorganization could materially change the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which do not give effect to adjustments to the carrying values of assets and
liabilities which may be necessary as a consequence of a plan of reorganization. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon, among other
things, its ability to formulate a plan of reorganization that will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, to achieve satisfactory levels of profitability and cash flow from operations and the
preservation for, and utilization by, one or more of SNTL's former stockholders or creditors, of SNTL's NOLs.

Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the 2001 presentation.

2. California Insurance Department Seizure and Conservation

On March 3, 2000, the CDI used administrative powers granted to it under the California Insurance Code to seize the assets and operations of four of the
liquidating companies domiciled in California, including SNIC, SPCC, CalComp, and CBIC. On March 6, 2000, the CDI was granted permission by a California court to "conserve" the four liquidating
companies. On September 26, 2000, the CDI was granted permission by the Los Angeles Superior Court to liquidate the assets and operations of the liquidating companies. When the California
domiciled insurance companies were "conserved", that meant their assets and operations were removed from SNTL's control and their management was taken over by the CDI. The CDI seized
and conserved our insurance companies because they were "statutorily impaired." Under California law any insurance company that does not possess sufficient assets to pay their unpaid claim and claim
adjustment expenses, and to maintain in addition a statutorily prescribed minimum level of capital, is considered statutorily impaired.

The
seizure of the entirety of SNTL's operations on March 3, 2000, including the ejection of SNTL's senior management from our corporate offices,
made corporate governance of, and compliance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission by SNTL virtually impossible during 2000 and through the middle of 2001. We
believed the CDI acted wrongly and lacked authority under governing laws and regulations to seize the Chapter 11 companies' assets and operations. We litigated

these issues in Bankruptcy Court until reaching the Global Settlement Agreement. See Note 4The Global Settlement Agreement.

Holdings'
subsidiary, CCIC, which was domiciled in New York, was not seized or conserved on March 6, 2000. CCIC was not seized or conserved by the CDI because the New York
Department of Insurance ("NYDI") exercised regulatory authority over CCIC. On the date of the CDI's seizure and conservation actions, CCIC was about to complete its merger into CCCC, a new California
domiciled company, into which SNTL's wholly owned subsidiary Holdings, had contributed $5.4 million of capital. The CDI demanded that SNTL complete the merger, which was
acceptable to SNTL, but only if we were first allowed to dividend out of CCCC the $5.4 million of minimum capital and surplus that had been contributed to CCCC by Holdings. The CDI ultimately
agreed to allow the $5.4 million distribution, in return for which we agreed to complete the merger and allow CCCC to be conserved by the CDI.

A
$5.4 million distribution, less certain bank expenses charged to SNTL, plus interest, all netting to $5.2 million, was paid to SNTL's senior lenders
associated with our senior debt financing in the amount of $110.0 million, as cash collateral on December 4, 2000, pursuant to a November 9, 2000, order by the Bankruptcy Court.

3. Chapter 11 Petition and Reorganization

On April 26, 2000, SNTL, Holdings, SNIS, and SNIA, ("the Chapter 11 companies" or "Debtors-in-Possession") filed a petition with
the Bankruptcy Court seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On October 31, 2001, the Chapter 11 companies filed their Chapter 11 Joint Plan of Reorganization
and Original Disclosure Statement (collectively, the "Plan") with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan is subject to amendment and requires approval by the Bankruptcy Court before the Plan can be solicited
to all parties entitled to vote on the Plan. A hearing has been scheduled for April 9, 2002 in order to determine whether the Disclosure Statement contains adequate information so as to enable
those entitled to vote on the Plan to make an informed decision about the Plan.

We
filed for protection under Chapter 11 for the following reasons:

It
was necessary to reorganize under Chapter 11 in order to protect our shareholders and creditors. By reorganizing under Chapter 11 we avoided any possibility of the Charter 11
companies being conserved by the CDI, which would have effectively destroyed any possibility of a plan of reorganization. The Chapter 11 petition also allowed us time to contest certain actions of the
CDI that we viewed as inappropriate and is a necessary prerequisite to our reorganization strategy. A key component of SNTL's reorganization plan will be the preservation for, and the
utilization by, one or more of SNTL's former stockholders of creditors, of SNTL's NOLs.

4. The Global Settlement Agreement

The Chapter 11 companies entered into the Global Settlement Agreement on September 8, 2000, with J. Clark Kelso, the acting Insurance Commissioner of the
State of California, the conserved insurance companies, Richard G. Krenz, the Special Deputy Insurance Commissioner responsible for managing the conserved insurance companies, Lumbermens Mutual
Casualty Company, Kemper Employers Group, Inc.,

and Kemper Employers Insurance Company. We will refer to J. Clark Kelso, the liquidating insurance companies and Richard G. Krenz collectively as the "CDI." We will refer to Lumbermens Mutual
Casualty Company, Kemper Employers Group, Inc. and Kemper Employers Insurance Company collectively as "Kemper." The Global Settlement Agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on
September 22, 2000, and by the Los Angeles Superior Court on September 26, 2000. Certain terms of the Global Settlement Agreement are described in this section.

The
Chapter 11 companies agreed to support the CDI's rehabilitation plans and proceedings and to stop contesting the CDI's legal and operational actions with respect to the liquidating
companies. The CDI agreed that the rehabilitation plans and proceedings, a) would not conflict with the performance of the Global Settlement Agreement, b) would not impair the ownership
or value of SNTL's tax net operating loss carryforwards without prior court approval, and c) would not address the Chapter 11 companies' possible obligations to any surety.

The
Chapter 11 companies agreed to use their best efforts to assign to the CDI and Kemper certain of SNTL's owned and leased real and personal property located in the
State of California and designated by the CDI and Kemper, including furniture, fixtures, equipment, software, hardware, office equipment, and other assets. The Chapter 11 companies also agreed to use
their best efforts to assign to the CDI and Kemper the names, trade names, trademarks, service marks and logos under which the liquidating companies conducted business. The CDI agreed generally to
indemnify the Chapter 11 companies for legal costs or damages incurred by the Chapter 11 companies with respect to the assignment of these assets to the CDI or Kemper. The Chapter 11 companies were
allowed to retain the use of the corporate names "SN Insurance Administrators, Inc." and "SN Insurance Services, Inc.," and title to the domain name superior.comand the computer hardware to
which the domain name applies. The Chapter 11 companies may not use the superior.comdomain name in its MGA business, and we are not allowed to sell or assign it to anyone who will use it in an
insurance business.

The
Chapter 11 companies agreed in general to conduct no workers' compensation insurance business in California, and agreed to other restrictions outside of California, for a period of
30 months commencing on August 31, 2000. The Chapter 11 companies may write without limitation workers' compensation insurance for certain of its creditors, and the Chapter 11 companies
may apply to the CDI for permission to conduct lines of insurance business other than workers compensation after August 31, 2001. During the 30 months from September 1, 2000
through February 28, 2003, SNIS agreed to compete with Kemper only as an agent, managing general agent, third party administrator, managing general underwriter, or risk management services
provider, with respect to workers' compensation insurance, and only in 19 states, Illinois, New Jersey, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Missouri, New York, Georgia,
Florida, Arizona, Oregon, Tennessee, Iowa, Maryland, and Delaware. In addition, the Chapter 11 companies may compete with Kemper without regard to time and geographic limitations where each agent or
other producer with respect to the policy is located in the 19 states, and more than 90% of the total payroll for the policy is located in the 19 states. The Chapter 11 companies agreed that William
L. Gentz, J. Chris Seaman, and Arnold J. Senter (all officers of SNTL at the time of entering into this agreement) would enter into limited non-compete agreements. The Chapter 11 companies

The
Chapter 11 companies received copies of all of SNTL's software, that had been seized by the CDI, with the exception of the SWAMI management information system. For a
period of twelve months commencing September 1, 2000, the Chapter 11 companies are granted access to, and use of, all of SNTL's software and systems, including SWAMI, for the
purpose of conducting their business. The costs associated with the Chapter 11 companies accessing the computer systems are borne by the Chapter 11 companies under a cost sharing system. The Chapter
11 companies have the right to possess and access data necessary for writing insurance subject to the restrictions discussed above, necessary for the administration of its business, and data that can
be readily identified as constituting the Chapter 11 companies' legal, corporate, regulatory, accounting, financial and human resource records and data, including subsidiaries' records, and all
employee benefits data.

The
CDI agreed to negotiate in good faith with the Chapter 11 companies to facilitate the formulation of their plan of reorganization. The Chapter 11 companies agreed to include in the
plan of reorganization a provision for an independent senior executive for SNIS and SNIA with no affiliation or involvement in their pre-conservation or pre-bankruptcy
management. The CDI agreed to terminate a reinsurance contract between Superior National Insurance Company and Superior (Bermuda) Ltd. without any exchange of funds, and agreed that the Global
Settlement Agreement could be used in lieu of a Commutation Agreement to demonstrate to any regulatory authority that SBL's liabilities to SNIC are terminated.

The
Chapter 11 companies and the CDI agreed that the use of SNTL's NOLs and the allocation of any value realized on the NOLs, would be subject to further negotiations and
to the confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 companies acknowledged the CDI's expectations that any plan of reorganization would not destroy the ability of
the liquidating companies to use the NOLs to offset their taxable income and that the liquidating companies will share in a percentage of the ultimate value realized on of the NOLs generally in
proportion with the losses suffered by the creditors of the Liquidating Companies and creditors of the Chapter 11 companies. The CDI acknowledged that the Chapter 11 companies', and their creditors',
expectations conflicted with the CDI's expectations. The Chapter 11 companies and the CDI agreed that their respective tax professionals, and the tax professionals of certain of SNTL's
creditors, would meet and confer regarding the preservation and viability of the NOLs. We also agreed to assist in analysis of the NOLs to the extent requested by the tax professionals. In the event
the Chapter 11 companies are unable to confirm a plan of reorganization, or a Chapter 7 trustee is appointed, the CDI is not bound by any obligations in the Global Settlement Agreement related to
NOLs. The Chapter 11 companies and the CDI agreed to cooperate in the preparation of SNTL's year 2000 tax returns.

The
CDI agreed to assist the Chapter 11 companies to continue administration of Front Company business including the right to control, manage, direct and require performance of the
obligations of third party administrators, and the right to access Superior National computer systems for the purpose of Front Company policy administration, assuming the Front Company's desired
assistance from the Chapter 11 companies to do so. The CDI agreed to indemnify the Chapter 11 companies with respect to any claims by the Front Companies relating to the actual possession, collection
or disposition of Front Company premiums after March 3, 2000, and with respect to any claims by the Front Companies relating to any performance or non-performance of underwriting or
claims administration pursuant to the contracts

F-12

---

between the Chapter 11 companies and the Front Companies. Partial security for the indemnity is a lien upon the proceeds of the CDI's arbitration proceedings with the United States Life Insurance
Company of the State of New York up to an amount of $28.0 million. The lien can be used to satisfy any and all obligations, including indemnity and defense obligations of the liquidating
companies to the Chapter 11 companies.

On
September 8, 2000, SNIS paid to the CDI $24.0 million of premiums, the ownership of which was disputed, and which it had collected on behalf of the Front Companies and
the CDI. On September 28, 2000, subsequent to Bankruptcy Court approval of the Global Settlement Agreement, SNIS paid to the CDI an additional $30.6 million of disputed premiums it had
collected on behalf of the Front Companies and the CDI. The CDI agreed that $10.5 million of SNIS' funds were owned by SNIS as further consideration for the Chapter 11 companies' agreement to
enter into the Global Settlement Agreement, including releases, property transfers and assignments, and a full and final release of claims against the liquidating companies relating to the ownership
of the disputed premium. SNIS agreed to transmit on a weekly basis the full amount of any premiums related to the liquidating companies' policies that came into its possession after August 22,
2000. The $10.5 million consideration is reflected as other income on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000. Although the
$10.5 million is reflected as consideration on SNIS's records at December 31, 2000, the $10.5 million consideration is subject to future intercompany allocation amongst the
Chapter 11 companies.

The
CDI provided the Chapter 11 companies' officers, directors, employees, attorneys and certain others with releases from liability, but reserved its right to assert claims against
a) Zurich Insurance Group ("Zurich") or any affiliate of Zurich other than the Chapter 11 companies; b) any individual officer, director and employee of Zurich or any of its affiliates
(other than an individual who is an officer, director or employee of one or more of the Chapter 11 companies, and not of Zurich or any of its other affiliates); c) the liquidating companies'
officers and directors, regardless of whether they also are officers and directors of the Chapter 11 companies, for errors and omissions in the management of the liquidating companies; d) 
actuarial, accounting or other professional, firms who provided services to or for the benefit of the liquidating companies, or, e) the recoveries sought in SNTL's action against
FHC and M&R or any entitlement of the CDI to intervene in the FHC Litigation on behalf of the liquidating companies. The Chapter 11 companies reserved all of their rights and defenses available to
them and did not acknowledge any right of the CDI to any alleged claim the CDI may have to intervene in or share in any recovery from the FHC Litigation. See
"Note 16Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. v. Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and Milliman &
Robertson, Inc."

The
Chapter 11 companies released the CDI, and their officers, directors, employees and attorneys, from liability, except claims: a) from liabilities arising out of the seizure by
the CDI of Chapter 11 company assets or from the CDI's takeover of the Chapter 11 companies' offices; b) from claims against the estates of the liquidating companies other than any claim
arising out of the Global Settlement Agreement; c) for indemnity, contribution, or similar obligations, arising from any losses suffered by the Chapter 11 companies resulting from the actions
of the CDI in administering Front Company contracts after March 3, 2000.

F-13

---



The Chapter 11 companies reserved their rights: a) to defend themselves against any action brought against them by the CDI; b) to share in any dividends or other distributions to
shareholders from the liquidating companies' estates, to receive any liquidation distribution to shareholders from the liquidation estates of the liquidating companies, or to enjoy any other right it
may have solely as a shareholder of the liquidating companies including but not limited to entitlement to the NOLs; c) to any interest in any insurance policies of which they are the named
owner or insured, including professional liability insurance policies, director and officers' insurance policies, and company liability policies; and d) to defend themselves against claims by
employees or the CDI that assert that the Chapter 11 companies are obligated to pay residual claims of employees, such as unpaid "personal time off," vacation leave, and sick leave.

Not part of the Global Settlement Agreement, but related thereto, is an open letter dated September 8, 2000, issued by the CDI stating that the Chapter 11
companies have entered into the Global Settlement Agreement, and, subject to the limitations of the Global Settlement Agreement, the CDI has no objection to any third party conducting any lawful
business with the Chapter 11 companies. A second open letter dated September 8, 2000, confirms that the agency and third party administrator licenses of SNIS and SNIA issued by the CDI are in
full force and effect, that no disciplinary action has been imposed on the licenses, and that no disciplinary proceedings are pending. The CDI letter also states that the SNIS and SNIA licenses
entitle them to engage in all lawful activities prescribed by the California Insurance Code and regulations.

A
number of obligations that the CDI undertook to perform or execute under the Global Settlement Agreement have yet to be completed by the CDI despite Bankruptcy Court and Superior Court
approval of the Global Settlement Agreement. We believe it is possible that the enforcement of the Global Settlement Agreement may only be possible through continued litigation versus the CDI.

5. Surety Bond Guarantees

In September and October of 1999, the liquidating companies purchased Workers' Compensation Bonds ("Bonds") with several sureties. The Bonds represent a promise
by the surety to pay workers' compensation claims on behalf of the liquidating companies under certain circumstances. The liquidating companies procured the sureties' promises to pay
$108.0 million of workers' compensation claims in the states of California and Arizona. The Bonds procured with respect to California workers'
compensation claims were as follows: CalComp $15.0 million, CBIC approximately $4.2 million, CCCC approximately $3.0 million, SNIC $70.0 million, and SPCC approximately
$2.4 million, for a total of approximately $94.6 million of California Bonds. The Bonds procured with respect to Arizona workers' compensation claims were as follows: SNIC approximately
$8.4 million, and SPCC approximately $4.9 million, for a total of approximately $13.3 million of Arizona bonds. In the case of each Bond, SNTL, or SNTL and various combinations of
its subsidiaries, agreed to indemnify each of the sureties against any loss or expense incurred by the sureties.

Based
on our analysis of the terms of the California and Arizona Bonds, we and our attorneys do not believe the sureties have any liabilities under the Bonds and, thus, the Chapter 11
companies have no liabilities to the sureties. There can be no assurance that if the surety claims are litigated that a court will not require payment on the Bonds, or that the sureties would not be
successful in obtaining

F-14

---

indemnification from the Chapter 11 companies even if they consented to make payments without legal compulsion to do so. We have not accrued any liability related to the Bonds on our consolidated
financial statements. However, these amounts are included in the list of claims filed against us, disclosed in Note 15Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments.

6. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

Cash includes currency on hand and demand deposits with financial institutions. Cash equivalents includes short-term, highly liquid investments with
an original maturity date of less than 90 days. Short-term investments represents short-term, highly liquid investments, with an original maturity date of less than a
year and greater than 90 days. Short-term investments are carried at cost, which approximates market.

The
Company has cash and cash equivalents of $12.3 million recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001. Included in the
$12.3 million of cash and cash equivalents is $5.9 million of restricted cash. This restricted cash is comprised of monies we have placed into separate accounts by order of the
Bankruptcy Court for the possible benefit of Underwriters Insurance Company ("UIC"), Centre Insurance Company ("CIC"), and Zurich Centre Insurance Company ("ZCIC") pending full accounting of monies
held by SNIS. The amounts held at December 31, 2001 for the possible benefit of UIC, CIC, and ZCIC are $4.0 million, $1.7 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. The
Chapter 11 companies dispute that any money is owed to UIC, CIC, and ZCIC, but believe that this fund is more than adequate to cover any liabilities owed to UIC, CIC, or ZCIC. See
"Note 16Underwriters Insurance Company (Plaintiff) v. Superior National Insurance Group, Inc., SN Insurance Services, Inc., and Business
Insurance Group, Inc. (Defendants)"and
"Note 16Centre Insurance Company (Plaintiff) v. SNTL Corporation, SN Insurance Services, Inc., SNTL Holdings Corporation, and SN Insurance
Administrators, Inc. (Defendants)."

Investments

Investments in fixed maturities consist of one bond. Debt instruments and equities are classified as "available-for-sale" and are carried
at market with differences between cost and market being reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of applicable income tax effect. The premiums and discounts on fixed maturities
are amortized using the interest method. Current market values of investments are obtained from published sources. Declines in market value that are considered other than temporary are charged to
operations. For determining realized gains or losses on securities sold, cost is based on average cost.

Investments
in equity securities are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains or losses on equity securities are reflected, net of applicable tax, in stockholders' equity.

Revenue recognition

Commission income is calculated as a percentage of premiums written and earned as the premium is billed. Underwriting management income and claims servicing
income is earned on a monthly basis as general and administrative expenses are incurred by SNIS and SNIA for services performed on behalf of the liquidating companies.

Other Operating Expenses

The components included in other operating expenses for the years ending December 31, are as follows:

The
FHS litigation accrual is SNTL's best estimate at December 31, 2001 for total litigation costs expected to be incurred through the end of the litigation
process.

Reorganization Items

Professional fees and expenditures directly related to the Chapter 11 filing are classified as reorganization items and are expensed as incurred. Reorganization
costs for the year ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 consisted primarily of professional fees. Cash paid for reorganization items during the year ended December 31,
2001 and December 31, 2000 amounted to $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Trust Premiums Payable

Trust premiums payable represents premiums received by SNIS on behalf of the liquidating companies and front company business. The trust premiums payable balance
at December 31, 2001 is $6.8 million which
consists of $7 thousand due to the liquidating companies and $6.8 million due to front company business. The premiums purportedly received by SNIS on behalf of the liquidating companies
are remitted to the liquidating companies on a weekly basis pursuant to the terms of the Global Settlement Agreement (see note 4Global Settlement
Agreement). The premiums purportedly received by SNIS on behalf of the front company business of $6.8 million are subject to litigation and represents the premiums
collected by

F-16

---

SNIS between April 26, 2000 (the date the chapter 11 companies filed for protection under Chapter 11) and December 31, 2001. Although the front companies have filed claims,
included in amounts disclosed in Note 15, that are significantly higher than $6.8 million, we assert the right to retain and to offset the commission receivable due SNIS from the front
companies business. In December 2001, SNTL wrote-off an amount of commission receivable due SNIS from the front companies business, equal to an amount over and above our
ability to offset the trust premium payable against the commission receivable. Some or all of the front company premiums payable may be retained by SNIS when these issues have been resolved either
through the approval of our reorganization plan by the Bankruptcy Court or by litigation. This litigation also affects the allocation of the remaining sum.

Subscribed stock collateral redemption and non-cash severance

In November 1999, SNTL entered into agreements with Thomas I. Boggs, Jr., Arnold J. Senter, William L. Gentz, Robert E. Nagle and J. Chris Seaman (all
officers of SNTL at the time of entering into these agreements), each of whom had purchased shares of SNTL in the 1998 rights offering. The agreements provided that the collateral securing the
promissory notes would be valued at no less than $10 per share in the event that the note became due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events, including conservation of SNTL's
insurance companies, and no more than $20 per share in any event. Following the conservation and seizure in March 2000, the Company exercised its right to apply the collateral, valued at $10
per share pursuant to the agreements, to the amounts due and payable under the notes. Consequently, all promissory notes were retired. The collateral includes any options, restricted stock or warrants
previously issued to these five employees. As of March 6, 2000, $410,000 of interest was accrued on the notes receivable from subscribed stock in addition to the principal loan amount of
$6.4 million. The following shares were redeemed at a value of $10 per share to pay off the notes receivable from subscribed stock:

In
addition, 53,750 shares and 104,823 shares were redeemed under the 1986 Stock Option Plan and 1995 Stock Incentive Plan, respectively, which were valued at $792,000 ($10 per share
less the option exercise price). The exercise price of the options range from $4.00 to $5.20 per share. Furthermore, 58,795 warrants were redeemed at a value of $353,000 ($10 per share less the
exercise price of $4.00 per share). The remaining balance of the note receivable from subscribed stock after the redemption of the collateral amounted to $262,000, which was offset against future
severance payments due to the five senior management group members.

F-17

---

Since
the actual market price of the SNTL stock on March 6, 2000 was $1.59, SNTL recognized as expense the difference between the collateral value of $10 per share and the actual
market price of $1.59 per share on the redemptions of the rights offering shares, restricted stock, stock certificate, and ESPP shares. SNTL also expensed the value of the stock options redeemed.
Total expense recognized during 2000 from the subscribed stock collateral redemption transaction amounted to $5.6 million. As of December 31, 2000, notes receivable from subscribed stock
is reduced to zero.

As
of December 31, 1999, $108,000 of interest was accrued on the notes receivable from subscribed stock in addition to the principal loan amount of $10.4 million. The
following shares were redeemed at a value of $11.79 per share to pay off the notes receivable from subscribed stock:

less the option exercise price). The exercise price of the options range from $4.00 to $7.70 per share. Notes receivable from subscribed stock was further reduced by employees terminated during 1999,
repayment of loan by check, and repayment of loan through payroll deductions totaling $735,000. SNTL expensed the value of the stock options redeemed. Total expense recognized during 1999 from the
subscribed stock collateral redemption transaction amounted to $613,000. As of December 31, 1999, notes receivable from subscribed stock is $6.4 million.

Income Taxes

We file a consolidated Federal income tax return which includes all qualifying subsidiaries.

Deferred
income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial statement and tax return bases using the asset and liability method, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under the asset and liability method, deferred taxes are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for
the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be settled. Tax rate changes are accounted for in the year in which the tax law is enacted.

Earnings per Share ("EPS")

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average shares outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per share considers the effects of anti dilutive
securities.

Property, Equipment, and Leasehold Improvements

Property, equipment, and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. The accumulated depreciation and
amortization as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $445 thousand and $176 thousand, respectively. Depreciation and amortization are provided principally on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, or, if less, the term of the lease. The Company has recorded on our accompanying consolidated statement of operations a
depreciation and amortization expense for property, equipment, and leasehold improvements of $0.3 million, $34 thousand, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Capitalization of the Costs of Internally Developed Software for Internal Use

We have capitalized the costs of our internally developed software for internal use according to Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Capitalized internally developed software costs are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. As each phase of the project is
placed in service, the software will be amortized by the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, which is currently estimated at seven years. However, the remaining useful
life of our software will necessarily depend on facts and circumstances in the future, such as possible future technological innovations, changes in operating strategies, or failure to obtain approval
and confirmation of our Plan of Reorganization by the Bankruptcy Court. If any one of these events takes place, the Company will be required to write-down the value of this asset as a
charge to operations. The following is a summary of capitalized internally developed software costs:

Use of Management Estimations

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets,
liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. We have provided estimates for such items as our discontinued operations and deferred tax
balances in our financial statements. While these estimates are based upon analyses performed by management and outside consultants, the amounts we will ultimately pay may differ materially from the
amounts presently estimated.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and Related Interpretations in
accounting for our employee stock options.

There

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," ("SFAS 107") defines the fair value of a
financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Fair values with respect to fixed maturity and equity securities
investments are presented in Note 7 and the fair value of all other investments approximates their fair value. However, the estimated fair values of the Company's financial liabilities cannot
be determined, since the market for claims against companies under Chapter 11 is not well developed and no reliable source of market prices is available.

9. Liabilities Subject to Compromise

Liabilities subject to compromise for the years ended December 31, consist of the following:

A
plan of reorganization, if ultimately approved by the Company's impaired prepetition creditors and stockholders and confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, may materially change the amounts
and terms of these prepetition liabilities. Such amounts are estimated as of December 31, 2001, and the Company anticipates that claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the Company's
creditors will be reconciled to the Company's financial records. The additional liability arising from this reconciliation process, if any, is not subject to reasonable estimation, and accordingly, no
provision has been recorded for these possible claims. The termination of other contractual obligations and the settlement of disputed claims may create additional prepetition liabilities. Such
amounts, if any, will be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet

as they are identified and become subject to reasonable estimation. See Note 15 for a list of claims filed against us in Bankruptcy Court.

10. Discontinued Operations

SNTL is the ultimate parent of a group of five insurance companies that underwrote workers' compensation, and a limited amount of group health, insurance
throughout the United States. On March 3, 2000, the CDI used administrative powers relegated to it under the California Insurance Code to seize the assets and operations of four of
SNTL's wholly owned insurance subsidiaries domiciled in California, including SNIC, SPCC, CalComp, and CBIC. All of these companies were regulated as
property and casualty insurance companies, and virtually all of their revenues were workers' compensation premiums.

On
March 6, 2000, the CDI was granted permission by a California court to "conserve" the four California domiciled insurance companies. The fifth insurance company owned by SNTL,
CCIC, which was domiciled in New York, was not seized or conserved on March 6, 2000. However, CCIC was later merged into CCCC, and CCCC was conserved by the CDI on June 6, 2000. When the
California domiciled insurance companies were "conserved", that meant they were removed from SNTL's control and their management was taken over by the CDI. Subsequently the four
companies were placed in a legal form of liquidation, which the CDI found necessary to do because they did not have assets to pay policyholder claims. When an insurance company that has been conserved
by the CDI runs out of cash, the California Insurance Code requires the California Insurance Guarantee Association ("CIGA") to pay workers' compensation claims and to assess workers compensation
companies a percentage of their annual premium to pay for CIGA's obligations. CIGA can only undertake to pay claims of an insurance company that is in "liquidation." Because of the
"long-tail" nature of workers compensation insurance, insurance companies placed into "liquidation" generally exist for many years, if not forever.

The
CDI seized and conserved our insurance companies because, after an examination of the insurance companies' financial condition, the CDI determined that those companies did not have
sufficient assets to pay their unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses. We performed our own analysis of our unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses as of December 31, 1999, and we agreed
that our insurance companies did not have sufficient assets to pay their claims. See Note 2California Insurance Department Seizure and
Conservation.

Our
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 reflects that we have written off our investment in the insurance companies that the CDI seized,
conserved, and placed into liquidation. SNTL has recorded the loss from disposal of the liquidating companies in accordance with EITF 95-18Accounting
and Reporting for a Discontinued Business Segment When the Measurement Date Occurs after the Balance Sheet Date but before the Issuance of Financial Statements.Since the
Chapter 11 companies, SBL, InfoNet, and Pacific do not believe they are responsible for the liabilities of the liquidating companies as of December 31, 1999 (conditions that caused the
conservation of the liquidating companies on March 6, 2000 existed as of December 31, 1999), SNTL has written off Holdings' investment in the liquidating companies as of
October 1, 1999. Accordingly, as of December 31, 1999 there are no remaining assets or liabilities of the discontinued operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated

F-23

balance sheet. Consequently, our reorganization plan does not contemplate that SNTL will ever re-enter the property and liability insurance business as a risk-taking
underwriter. The results of the discontinued operations are summarized below.

SNTL
has not included the table disclosing the tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities as of
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. SNTL has not included this table because the significant temporary deferred tax differences are generated by the liquidating companies and
SNTL's management does not believe that it has been provided sufficient access by the CDI to the books and records of the liquidating companies to accurately quantify our true deferred
tax asset. SNTL management believes that we have a significant deferred tax asset based on the $1.0 billion of NOLs reflected in our filed consolidated federal income tax return for the tax
year ending December 31, 2000. Since there is no assurance that a plan of reorganization will be proposed, approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, we recorded on our consolidated
financial statements a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax asset for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

Our
2000 and prior consolidated federal income tax returns reflected approximately $1.0 billion of NOLs. The Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") permits NOLs to be carried back two
years, or carried forward 20 years, to offset any consolidated taxable income in those years. Approximately $256.2 million of SNTL's $1.0 billion of NOLs was
generated in 2000, and, if not used in future years, will expire at the end of 2020. Approximately $577.0 million of NOLs generated in 1999 expire at the end of 2019 and the remaining
$193.0 million of NOLs expire between 2001 and 2018. SNTL's 1998 and 1999 consolidated returns did not generate taxable income, so there is no benefit to be gained from
carrying-back any of our NOLs. We expect that our 2001 consolidated return will result in an additional increase to our NOLs at December 31, 2001. The NOLs have value to the extent
they can be used in future years to offset SNTL's taxable income, if any, prior to the NOL's expiration dates. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent
upon, among other things, our ability to formulate a plan of reorganization that will be confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, to achieve satisfactory levels of profitability and cash flow from
operations and the preservation for, and utilization by, one or more of SNTL's former stockholders or creditors, of SNTL's NOLs.

12. Long-Term Debt

The Chase Manhattan Bank Loan principal and interest are classified on our consolidated balance sheet, under the category of liabilities subject to compromise
under reorganization proceedings.

Effective
December 10, 1998, to obtain part of the funding required for the acquisition of BIG we entered into a Credit Agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Administrative
Agent, and various lending institutions for $110.0 million in senior debt less $4.8 million in transaction costs. However, on April 26, 2000 we filed for relief under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as described in Note 3. As a result of the Chapter 11 filing, all required repayments of principal and interest under the terms of the Credit Agreement for
the long-term bank debt have been suspended, except for a $5.2 million distribution that was paid to the bank syndicate on December 4, 2000, pursuant to a November 9,
2000, order by the Bankruptcy Court, seeNote 2. We have continued to accrue interest on the long-term bank debt, per the terms of the SNTL Credit Agreement, at a rate
that equals the Prime Rate plus 2%.

13. Preferred Securities Issued by Affiliates

On December 3, 1997, the Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of SNTL, issued its Trust Preferred Securities, having an aggregate liquidation amount of
$105 million, in a private placement. The proceeds from the sale of these securities were used by the Trust to purchase SNTL's Senior Subordinated Notes. On January 16,
1998, SNTL and the Trust completed the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of an exchange offer for the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, Senior Subordinated Notes and
related Company Guarantee, pursuant to which substantially all of these securities were exchanged for substantially similar securities.

As
a result of our Chapter 11 filing, distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities (and interest on the related Senior Subordinated Notes) payable semi-annually, in
arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 1998 have been suspended. We have continued to accrue interest at a rate of 10.75% per annum compounded
semi-annually. The Trust Preferred Securities and interest are classified on our consolidated balance sheet, under the category of liabilities subject to compromise under reorganization
proceedings.

14. Employee Benefit Plans

SNTL has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related Interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock options.

SNTL
has two equity option plans, the 1986 Stock Option Plan ("1986 Plan") and the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan ("1995 Plan"). The terms of the 1986 Plan permit SNTL, at the Board of
Directors' discretion, to grant options to its management to purchase up to 225,000 shares of common stock. Options granted under the 1986 Plan are not intended to qualify as incentive stock options
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). The 1995 Plan permits the granting of both options that qualify for treatment as incentive stock options under
Section 422 of the Code and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options. Under the 1995 Plan, officers and key employees of the Company may be granted options to purchase shares of
SNTL common stock or may be given the opportunity to receive restricted stock of SNTL. Under the 1995 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be granted, either through the
exercise of options or the issuance of restricted stock, is 3,000,000. Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of SNTL's stock on the date of grant
and options have a maximum term of ten years. The Board of Directors may grant options at any point during a year and the options generally vest over five years.

Pro
forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options
under the fair value
method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions. The risk free
interest rate used in the calculation is the 10-year Treasury Note rate on the date the options were granted. The risk free interest rate range used for options granted during 2000 and
1999 was 6.6% to 6.7% and 4.7% to 6.1%, respectively. The volatility factors for the expected market price of the common stock of 319% and 123% were used for options granted in 2000 and 1999,
respectively. There are no options granted during 2001. A weighted average expected life of seven years was used as the Company has little history of options' being exercised prior to their
expiration.

The
Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that do not have vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In
addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's stock options have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the value of an estimate, in management's opinion the existing
models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

For
purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized into expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information follows (in
thousands except for earnings per share information):

are canceled if the employee is no longer employed by the Company and the options are not exercised by the employee within 30 days of separation from the Company. Therefore, 3,408 shares of the
1986 Plan and 200,015 shares of the 1995 Plan stock options for the terminated employees were canceled as of September 30, 2000.

Effective
January 1, 1999, SNTL implemented the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and have made available for sale to our employees a total of 500,000 shares of our common stock. Any
employee of SNTL, or of a designated subsidiary, whom we have employed for at least thirty continuous days and whom we have scheduled to work regularly at least twenty hours per week may participate.
An employee may contribute up to $25,000 during each calendar year with a minimum contribution per payroll period of $10. The price of each share purchased under the plan is 85% of
SNTL's closing price on Nasdaq on the final day of the calendar quarter. The employees have purchased 14,972 shares totaling $101 thousand and 20,665 shares totaling
$331 thousand for years 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan was terminated once the California Department of Insurance seized the assets and operations of the
liquidating insurance companies on March 3, 2000.

Effective
January 1, 1990, the Company implemented a 401(k) Plan ("Company Plan") which is available for substantially all employees and under which the Company matches a
percentage of the participant's compensation. The employer contributions are discretionary and vest over a five-year period. The employer contributions for plan years 2001, 2000, and 1999
were $126 thousand, $908 thousand, and $1.5 million, respectively. The plan continues in effect during the pendency of the Company's chapter 11 case. It is uncertain how ongoing
contributions to the plan will be impacted by the confirmation of the Company's plan of reorganization, which is currently under negotiation.

15. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments

Commitments

Prior to the Company filing for protection under Chapter 11 on April 26, 2000, we were party to several capital and operating leases for real and personal
property ("prepetition leases"). Subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Company can reject leases under the relevant provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Rejection of a lease gives the
lessor the right to assert a prepetition claim against the Company. However, the amount of the claim may be limited by the Bankruptcy Court. In
connection to the prepetition leases the Company has the option to renegotiate the lease, reject the lease under the Bankruptcy Code, or assign the lease to the CDI under the terms of the Global
Settlement Agreement as discussed in Note 4. The Company was able to assign to the CDI all prepetition leases the CDI wanted to assume under the terms of the Global Settlement Agreement and the
remaining prepetition leases could be rejected by the Company under the Bankruptcy Code. At December 31, 2001, all the prepetition leases were either rejected by the CDI and/or rejected by the
Company under the Bankruptcy Code.

The
Company occupies two offices under operating leases that were negotiated or renegotiated after we filed for protection under Chapter 11. In order to reduce the potential risk to the
lessor, there is a provision in the lease for the Denver office location that the lease is a month-to-month tenancy until such time as the Plan of Reorganization is effective,
which is termed the conversion date. For the purpose of calculating an estimate of the minimum lease payments we assumed a conversion date of July 1, 2002. However, there is no assurance that a
plan of reorganization will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. From and after the conversion date, this lease will be converted to a tenancy for a thirty-six month term. The
future minimum lease payments, for leases entered into after the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 and excluding prepetition leases, are as follows at December 31, 2001:

Rental
expenses totaled approximately $0.3 million, $0.6 million, and $13.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 respectively.

Contingencies

A significant part of our Chapter 11 reorganization involves the submission and resolution of claims filed against us by alleged creditors. Each of
SNTL's acknowledged or potential creditors was contacted in accordance with a timeline established in the Bankruptcy Code. The creditors were advised that they had to file a
claim against us prior to the "claims bar date," which in our case was November 13, 2000, in order for their claim to be effective. Claims submitted to the Bankruptcy Court fall into three
general categories: 1) "secured," 2) "unsecured," and 3) "priority." "Secured" claims are those for which a creditor allegedly has the right to pursue specific pledged property.
"Unsecured" claims are those for which a creditor holds no special assurance of payment because the credit was extended based solely upon the creditor's assessment of our future ability to pay, or the
claim is for damages we allegedly caused the claimant. "Priority" refers to unsecured claims that are entitled to be paid ahead of other unsecured claims that are not entitled to priority status.

If we acknowledge that a creditor has a valid claim, it is not necessary for that creditor to submit the claim to the Bankruptcy Court in order
for the claim to be valid. Nevertheless, most of our acknowledged claims have been submitted to the Bankruptcy Court and are included in Table 1. On the other hand, we cannot identify many of the
persons listed in Table 1, some of whom have submitted material claims. In addition, several claimants did not specify the amounts they claim we owe them, including a representative of the California
Insurance Commissioner who has submitted a claim against SNTL for an unspecified amount, and it will not be possible for us to assess the materiality of such claims until they are submitted to the
Bankruptcy Court. Finally, many of the claims appear to be duplicative, and we believe the total claim amount will be reduced significantly when those claims are removed by the Bankruptcy Court. Since
we filed our Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, approximately $120.0 million in claims have been removed by the Bankruptcy Court. Management has
recorded its best estimate of our true liabilities in our consolidated financial statements under liabilities subject to compromise under reorganization proceedings, see Note 9.

16. Litigation

Superior National Insurance Group, Inc.(now known as SNTL Corporation and hereinafter referred to as "SNTL") v. Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation
Health Systems, Inc (now known as HealthNet, Inc. hereinafter referred to as "FHC" or "FHS"). and Milliman & Robertson, Inc. (now known as Milliman USA, and referred to herein as
"M & R")

We filed a lawsuit in Bankruptcy Court on April 28, 2000, alleging that FHC, FHS and M&R defrauded SNTL in connection with FHC's 1998 sale of Business
Insurance Group, Inc. to SNTL. We seek to recover from FHC, FHS, and M&R at least $300.0 million in damages, seeking rescission of the BIG acquisition, recovery from FHC, FHS, and M&R
from any damages suffered by SNTL, including the return to SNTL of the $285.0 million that it paid FHC to acquire BIG, plus punitive damages and reimbursement of SNTL's costs
associated with the lawsuit. The discovery cut-off date is September 3, 2002. The parties are in the process of concluding fact discovery and have already commenced depositions of
expert witnesses. The lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial in February 2003.

We
believe the FHC Litigation is meritorious and that the Chapter 11 companies will be successful in rescinding the BIG Acquisition and/or in recovering damages from FHC, FHS, M&R and
their affiliates. Any proceeds of the litigation, after payment of legal fees and expenses, would be available for distribution to claimants in our plan of reorganization. However, FHC, FHS and M&R
are vigorously contesting the merits of our claims and there can be no assurance that we will collect any amount of damages or any damages at all.

Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. v. J. Clark Kelso, in his capacity as Conservator of Superior National Insurance Company, (ii) Superior Pacific Casualty
Company, (iii) California Compensation Insurance Company and (iv) Combined Benefits Insurance Company.

On December 20, 2000, the Chapter 11 companies filed in the Bankruptcy Court a "Motion for Summary Adjudication of Ownership of NOLs" asking the Bankruptcy
Court to rule that SNTL owns its consolidated NOLs. In March 2001, the Bankruptcy Court issued several rulings generally favorable to the Chapter 11 companies, which the CDI immediately
appealed. The United States District Court declined to hear the CDI's appeal regarding their assertion that the McCarran-Ferguson Act "reverse pre-empts" Federal jurisdiction over the
Chapter 11 companies. The District Court agreed to hear the CDI's appeal that the Bankruptcy Court had no right to decide any NOL issue because the CDI possesses sovereign immunity under the
11th Amendment.

The
CDI and the Chapter 11 Companies are currently documenting a tax sharing agreement between the liquidating companies and the Chapter 11 companies. That agreement will become
effective upon confirmation of the Plan. The agreement will provide that the Chapter 11 companies will own the NOLs in return for certain remuneration from the utilization of the NOLs and indemnity by
the Plan sponsor.

Insurance Corporation of Hannover, Scandinavian Reinsurance Company Ltd, and Odyssey Reinsurance Corporation (Plaintiffs) v. Business Insurance Group, Inc.,
Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. Centre Insurance Company, Chris Seaman, et. al. (Defendants).

Insurance Corporation of Hannover, Scandinavian Reinsurance Company Ltd, and Odyssey Reinsurance Corporation ("Plaintiffs") filed a lawsuit in the
Bankruptcy Court in November 2000, against SNTL, Holdings and Centre Insurance Company, and on December 13, 2000, the Plaintiffs amended the lawsuit to include our Chief Executive
Officer, J. Chris Seaman ("Defendants").

The
Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants "knowingly made materially false representations concerning the status and financial affairs" of the Chapter 11 companies and the liquidating
companies. The Plaintiffs also allege the Defendants concealed material facts to induce the Plaintiffs to enter into a contract in December 1998 to provide $37.5 million of reinsurance
to the Chapter 11 companies and the liquidating companies. The Plaintiffs allege that had they known all of the material facts, they would not have entered into the reinsurance contract, or that they
would only have done so if we had paid a higher premium. The Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants knew and failed to disclose the plaintiffs' risk in underwriting the reinsurance contracts. The
Plaintiffs seek cancellation of the reinsurance contract, and compensatory and punitive damages. Plaintiffs have offered to refund $7.0 million of premiums paid for the reinsurance in order to
cancel their obligations.

The
Company believes the lawsuit is without merit. The Bankruptcy Court abstained from the case on February 16, 2001, effectively giving jurisdiction to the California courts to
decide the allegations contained in the lawsuit. A new lawsuit was filed in the Los Angeles County Superior Court by the reinsurance companies, as discussed below, and they subsequently
entered-into arbitration proceedings with the CDI, which proceedings do not presently include any of the Chapter 11 companies or Mr. Seaman.

Insurance Corporation of Hannover, Scandinavian Reinsurance Company Ltd. and Odyssey Reinsurance Corporation (hereinafter Hannover et al) ("Plaintiffs") v. Business
Insurance Group, Inc., Superior National Insurance Group, Inc., Centre Reinsurance Limited, and Chris Seaman et. al. (Defendants).

On June 18, 2001, Hannover et al. filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court, case number BC252963, against Superior National Insurance
Group, Inc., Business Insurance Group, Inc., Centre Reinsurance Limited, and Chris Seaman for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair competition resulting from the procurement in
December 1998 of a $37.5 million reinsurance agreement. These are the same allegations that Hannover et al. are pursuing against the liquidating companies in arbitration proceedings
authorized to move forward by Judge Rothschild of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. and Business Insurance Group, Inc. were served with this
lawsuit on July 2, 2001.

On
November 19, 2001, Hannover et al. filed a Second Amended Complaint in Los Angeles County Superior Court, case number BC 252963 against Superior National Insurance
Group, Inc., Business Insurance Group, Centre Reinsurance Limited, and Chris Seaman for fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair competition resulting from the procurement in
December 1998 of a $37.5 million reinsurance agreement. The Chapter 11 companies brought a Motion to Stay this lawsuit pending the outcome of the contractual arbitration currently
underway between the Hannover et al. Plaintiffs and the conserved insurance companies. In February 2002, the Los Angeles Superior Court granted debtor's Motion to Stay.

F-35

---

This has the effect of stopping all legal proceeding and discovery against the Chapter 11 companies in this matter, at least until Plaintiff's file a Motion for Relief from the Stay Order.

The
Chapter 11 companies believe that their dealings with plaintiffs regarding this reinsurance treaty were conducted in good faith and that the Chapter 11 companies will not incur any
liability to plaintiffs.

Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. (Plaintiff) v. Arthur Andersen, LLP (Defendant).

On August 3, 2001, Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. filed an Adversary Action (Adversary No. 01-01351 KL) in the United
States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, San Fernando Valley Division (Case No. SV00-14099 GM) alleging causes of action for declaratory relief, reformation of contract and
rescission against Arthur Andersen LLP for failure to abide by the terms of a settlement agreement. SNTL seeks either declaratory relief and reformation which if successful will permit the parties to
proceed to arbitration of claims for which Superior agreed to accept $2.5 million. If rescission is successful, Superior has claims of approximately $13 million against Arthur Andersen,
LLP. Arthur Andersen, LLP has established an interest bearing escrow account that provides a minimum payment of $500,000 to Superior National Insurance Group, Inc.

Underwriters Insurance Company (Plaintiff) v. Superior National Insurance Group, Inc., SN Insurance Services, Inc., and Business Insurance Group, Inc.
(Defendants).

On November 8, 2000, UIC filed a lawsuit against SNTL, SNIS, and Holdings, in Bankruptcy Court. UIC alleges that SNIS has failed to remit
$4.6 million in premiums to UIC. UIC states that SNIC, one of the liquidating companies, has not remitted funds to UIC sufficient to secure the unpaid claim and claim adjustment expenses that
SNIC assumed from UIC pursuant to a reinsurance contract between UIC and SNIC. UIC alleges that SNTL and Holdings have failed to indemnify UIC for SNIC's failure to indemnify UIC for the failure to
pay premiums and fund reinsurance under its Underwriting Agreement with SNIS and its Reinsurance Agreement with the liquidating companies. The relief sought includes payment to UIC of at least
$11.3 million as security for the liquidating companies' liabilities to UIC. UIC also sought a determination that both the $4.6 million in premiums and the $11.3 million
reinsurance security were administrative claims. The Bankruptcy Court has dismissed the $11.3 million reinsurance security as an administrative claim. We have placed $3.8 million into a
separate account for the possible benefit of UIC pending a full accounting of monies held by SNIS. The Chapter 11 companies dispute that any money is owed to UIC, but believe that this fund is more
than adequate to cover any liabilities owed to UIC.

Further,
we do not believe the UIC lawsuit will result in a material liability to the Chapter 11 companies because under the Global Settlement Agreement the CDI agreed to indemnify the
Chapter 11 companies with respect to any claims by the Front Companies relating to the actual possession, collection, or disposition of Front Company premiums after March 3, 2000, and with
respect to any claims by the Front Companies relating to any performance or non-performance of underwriting or claims administration pursuant to the contracts between the Chapter 11
companies and the Front Companies. Security for the indemnity is a lien upon the proceeds of the CDI's arbitration proceedings with the United States Life Insurance Company up to an amount of
$28.0 million. The lien can be used to satisfy any and all obligations, including indemnity and defense obligations of the liquidating companies to the Chapter 11

companies. It is our view that the UIC lawsuit is covered by the indemnity but our position has not yet been formally presented to the CDI or the Bankruptcy Court.

The
Chapter 11 companies have filed a Motion seeking leave from Supplemental Order approving Settlement Agreement to use "UIC" funds of $3.8 million. This Motion is set to be
heard on March 27, 2002. Furthermore, UIC has filed an action in the Los Angeles Superior Court against the CDI, as conservator of the liquidating companies, seeking recovery of premiums from
the liquidating companies. It is our belief that our current motion to collect commissions from UIC, if unsuccessful, should be a basis to seek indemnity from the CDI, as conservator of the
liquidating companies, for UIC commissions pursuant to the Global Settlement Agreement. See Note 4Global Settlement Agreement. UIC has filed their reply to this motion as of
March 15, 2002.

Centre Insurance Company (Plaintiff) v. SNTL Corporation, SN Insurance Services, Inc., SNTL Holdings Corporation, and SN Insurance Administrators, Inc.
(Defendants).

On July 11, 2001, the Chapter 11 companies were served with a Complaint from CIC alleging causes of action for accounting of premium funds, declaratory
relief, creation of a trust account, and recovery of premiums. We have placed $1.6 million into a separate account for the possible benefit of CIC pending a full accounting of monies held by
SNIS. The Chapter 11 companies dispute that any money is owed to CIC but believe that this fund is more than adequate to cover any liabilities owed to CIC. Pursuant to the Global Settlement Agreement,
the Chapter 11 companies are of the opinion that any additional monies that may be owed to CIC should be held to be the legal responsibility and liability of the liquidating companies.

Bankruptcy Court Proceedings

When we present and seek confirmation of our plan of reorganization, various components of the plan or the settlement or discharge of liabilities by the plan may
be a subject of litigation. Some of these proceedings may have a material adverse impact on the benefits realized by our creditors and stockholders from the plan of reorganization.

The
confirmation and approval of our plan of reorganization was delayed primarily due to the following event. On or about January 4, 2002, Bank of New York and Union Bank of California
(collectively the "Dissenting Banks") two members of the group of banks (the "Lending Group") that entered into a Credit Agreement with SNTL that provided SNTL with $110.0 million in senior debt
financing, filed an objection to our Disclosure Statement in conjunction with the Plan. The objection stated that the Dissenting Banks held a first priority lien over the entire FHS litigation (see
"Superior National Insurance Group, Inc. v. Foundation Health Corporation, Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and Milliman & Robertson, Inc.") as well as
all payments anticipated from the utilization of the NOLs. This lien theory was based upon the Credit Agreement entered into between the Lending Group and SNTL. The $110.0 million debt was secured by
a pledge of Holdings stock. The Dissenting Banks theories were set forth at length in their objection and in opposition to the motion the Chapter 11 companies filed on or about January 10th, 2002, to
determine the value of the secured claim of the Lending Group in respect of stock pledges.

With
respect to the NOLs, the Dissenting Banks argued that since the objective of the Plan Sponsor (JP Morgan Chase) was to purchase the stock of SNTL and to therefore control the
consolidated group,

F-37

---

the stock of Holdings was an essential part of the realization of the NOLs, and that stock was pledged to the Lending Group, including the Dissenting Banks. The Dissenting Banks reasoned that their
stock pledge must have value. Since the Plan and Disclosure Statement ascribed no value whatsoever to the stock pledges, and did not treat the Lending Group as a secured creditor, the Plan and
Disclosure Statement were objectionable.

In
response, the Chapter 11 companies sought to determine the value of the stock pledges was zero in their motion, arguing that the stock of an insolvent company was worthless, that any
NOL realization could not and did not constitute proceeds of the pledged stock under the UCC, and that the pledged stock was not indispensable to the Plan and therefore had no value.

The
motion also addressed the other claim the Dissenting Banks had made, which related to the FHS Litigation. Relying on a Ninth Circuit decision interpreting the UCC, the Dissenting
Banks claimed that recoveries on litigation claims arising from fraud committed in the purchase of securities or otherwise representing a diminution in the value of securities are proceeds of the
underlying securities, in which the Lending Group, in the case of the Holdings stock pledge, had a security interest. The Chapter 11 Companies, in their motion, responded that the revised UCC
clarified that such recoveries were not proceeds, that any claim which arises out of a tort, is excluded under the UCC, that no lien could exist on certain of the Chapter 11 companies' claims against
FHS nor any punitive damage recovery, and that the Ninth Circuit decision did not control this case.

The
Dissenting Banks and the Chapter 11 companies subsequently reached an agreement to settle the litigation in connection with an amendment to the proposed Plan. Under the proposed Plan
amendment, the Dissenting Banks could receive a $15 - $22.5 million distribution on a sliding scale (depending on the source of the distribution) in part before, and in part pro rata with the
unsecured creditors. The settlement and the amended Plan have not been submitted to the Bankruptcy Court, as of this date, and are subject to Bankruptcy Court approval.

17. Earnings per Share Reconciliation

The following is an illustration of the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) computations:

All options outstanding at the end of year 2001 were excluded in the computation of diluted EPS because the options' exercise price was greater
than the average market price of the common shares.

18. Transactions with Related and Certain Other Parties

The Company has engaged several former SNTL employees and certain related parties to provide consultation services in the areas of technical support, software
development, and litigation support. Most of the former employees terminated their employment with the liquidating companies from 1996 to 2000. There are a few consultants who are still currently
employed with the liquidating companies. In addition, some of the former employees left to pursue job opportunities with companies that are currently providing products and/or services to us. There
are no contractual or other commitments as a result of the business arrangement. Amounts paid to former SNTL employees and certain related parties were $1.2 million and $36 thousand in
2001 and 2000, respectively.

Insurance Investors, L.L.C. ("SII") is a California limited liability company formed for the purpose of making equity investments in funds and portfolio companies. J. Chris
Seaman, President and CEO of SNTL, is the appointed manager of SII. SII is one of approximately 104 limited partners in Capital Z Financial Services Fund II, L.P. SNTL is one of approximately 40
investors in SII. We invested $50.0 thousand, $150.0 thousand, and $300.0 thousand during 1998, 1999, and 2000, respectively, completing our $0.5 million commitment to SII.

In
December 1998, we privately sold approximately $158 million of our common stock to IP II, Insurance Partners, L.P. ("IP Delaware") and Insurance Partners (Offshore)
Bermuda, ("IP Bermuda and, together with IP Delaware, "IP"). At the same time we also completed our public rights offering under which we offered subscription rights to purchase our common stock to
all of our stockholders (except for IP Delaware and IP Bermuda), warrant holders and to holders of our stock options and shares of restricted stock. Those directors and executive officers of Superior
National who owned common stock and warrants, by virtue of these holdings, had the opportunity to purchase shares of common stock in the rights offering. These offerings provided a significant portion
of the financing we needed to purchase BIG.

Robert
A. Spass and Bradley E. Cooper, who are directors of the Company, are officers of the ultimate general partner of IP II and each owns 9.9% of its voting capital stock. In
addition, some current and former members of our management, including William L. Gentz, Arnold J. Senter, and J. Chris Seaman are investors in an investment fund that is a limited partner of
IP II.

Mr. Spass
and Steven B. Gruber, who is a director of Superior National, are executive officers of the ultimate general partner of IP Delaware and IP Bermuda. In addition,
Messrs. Spass, Gruber, and Cooper own direct or indirect limited partnership interests in some of the limited partnerships that are the direct or indirect general partners of IP Delaware and IP
Bermuda.

Under
the terms of our stock offering to the IP partnerships, they agreed to purchase 5,611,940 shares of common stock at $16.75 per share, for a total of $94.0 million. They also
agreed to provide a standby commitment under which they would purchase up to an additional 6,328,358 shares of common stock at $16.75 per share in an amount of shares necessary to bring the total
proceeds of the private sale to the IP partnerships and the public sale of common stock under the rights offering to $200.0 million. Our independent directors, on behalf of the Company,
negotiated the $16.75 subscription price and the terms of the stock purchase agreement governing the sale to the IP partnerships. Because the $16.75 price equals the subscription price in the
rights offering and this price was set with the intention of inducing participation by our stockholders, the $16.75 price represented a discount to the market price of our common stock at the time the
price was determined.

On
December 10, 1998 the IP partnerships exercised their standby commitment, which, combined with the minimum number of shares of common stock they agreed to purchase, resulted in
(1) IP II purchasing 5,276,960 shares of common stock for $88.4 million, (2) IP Delaware purchasing 2,949,594 shares of common stock for $49.4 million, and (3) IP
Bermuda purchasing 1,196,588 shares of common stock for $20.0 million.

On
December 10, 1998 we paid a commitment fee to the IP partnerships in the form of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 734,000 shares of common stock at $16.75 per share for
agreeing to provide the standby commitment. The warrants expire on December 10, 2003. IP II assigned the warrants it was entitled to receive to Zurich Centre Group Holdings Limited as
compensation for its providing certain financing commitments to the IP partnerships under the stock purchase agreement. We paid this commitment fee by issuing (1) 229,754 warrants to
IP Delaware, (2) 93,206 warrants to IP Bermuda, (3) 205,520 warrants to Zurich Centre Group Holdings Limited, and (4) 205,520 warrants to various principals and designees
of the ultimate general partner of IP II. Robert A. Spass and Bradley E. Cooper,

who are directors of the Company and officers and equity holders of that general partner, received 32,825 warrants and 16,413 warrants, respectively, from the general partner.

In
addition, we paid to designees of the IP partnerships fees totaling $3.9 million in consideration of their providing us with the opportunity to undertake the BIG acquisition,
originating a portion of the financing for the acquisition, and assisting us in negotiating the terms of the acquisition.

In
approving the rights offering to the Company's stockholders described above, the Board of Directors decided to allow employees and consultants of the Company who held stock options
and shares of restricted stock to receive similar subscription rights. We distributed to these holders the same form of subscription right issued in the rights offering, including an identical $16.75
subscription price, except that each employee or consultant was required to agree that his or her rights were non-transferable.

In
addition, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to lend funds to the participants sufficient to pay the purchase price for the common stock and any resulting tax liability if
the participant signed
a promissory note, and pledged to the Company, as collateral, stock options, warrants and shares of common stock and restricted stock (including shares of common stock purchased in the rights
offering). The amount of money that could be borrowed was limited to be 66% of the total value of the collateral that was pledged.

Employees
and consultants of the Company purchased a total of 618,309 shares of common stock under this portion of the rights offering and borrowed a total of $10.4 million from
the Company to pay for them. All of the participants borrowed money from us and pledged to us a sufficient number of stock options and shares of our common stock and restricted stock.

In
November 1999, SNTL entered into agreements with Thomas I. Boggs, Jr., Arnold J. Senter, William L. Gentz, Robert E. Nagle and J. Chris Seaman (all officers of SNTL at the time
of entering into these agreements), each of whom had purchased shares of SNTL in the 1998 rights offering. The agreements provided that the collateral securing the promissory notes would be valued at
no less than $10 per share in the event that the note became due and payable upon the occurrence of certain events, including conservation of SNTL's insurance companies, and no more
than $20 per share in any event. Following the conservation and seizure in March 2000, the Company exercised its right to apply the collateral, valued at $10 per share pursuant to the
agreements, to the amounts due and payable under the notes. Consequently, all promissory notes were retired. The collateral includes any options, restricted stock or warrants previously issued to
these five employees. As of March 6, 2000, 53,750 shares and 104,823 shares were redeemed under the 1986 Plan and 1995 Plan, respectively. See
Note 6Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesSubscribed stock collateral redemption and non-cash
severance.

In
April 1997, IP Delaware and IP Bermuda purchased 2,124,834 shares of common stock at $7.53 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $16.0 million. Certain
affiliates of Zurich Reinsurance Centre Holdings LLC ("Zurich") are limited partners of IP Delaware and IP Bermuda and hold approximately 23% of the limited partnership interests in those partnerships
on an aggregate basis.

In
March 1992, we issued warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 1,616,886 shares of common stock in connection with the sale of our 14.5% Senior Subordinated promissory notes in an
aggregate principal amount of $11.0 million. These notes have since been redeemed. The Warrants are exercisable at $4.00 per

share and expire April 1, 2002. International Insurance Investors, L.P. ("III") purchased 1,474,306 of the Warrants (which have since been distributed to III's partners and some of which were
subsequently sold to unrelated parties), 1,230,149 of which are subject to a revocable agency relationship with International Insurance Advisors, Inc. ("IIA"), pursuant to which IIA exercises
the voting or consent rights of such Warrants and the underlying shares of common stock. Management acquired the remaining 142,580 Warrants. Centre Solutions (Bermuda) Limited ("Centre Solutions"), an
affiliate of Zurich, holds 395,128 of the Warrants (subject to the revocable agency relationship with IIA). As of December 31, 1998, Warrants to purchase 1,566,465 shares of Common Stock were
outstanding.

In
June 1994, in connection with a $20.0 million investment in the Company (and its affiliate, Superior National Capital, L.P.) by CentreLine Reinsurance Limited ("Centre
Line"), an affiliate of Zurich, the Company issued to CentreLine a warrant to purchase 579,356 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.20 per share, which expires April 1, 2002.

Robert
A. Spass and Bradley E. Cooper, directors of the Company, are employees of IIA. Mr. Spass is also an officer and director of IIA. Mr. Schwarberg, a director of the
Company, is a former employee of IIA. IIA was paid $250,000 by the Company during each of fiscal 1998, 1997, and 1996 for investment banking and financial consulting services. Such payments were made
pursuant to a consulting agreement entered into in 1992 that continued through the end of 1999.

19. Entities not included in Bankruptcy Reorganization Proceedings

SBL and InfoNet are the two entities included in our consolidated financial statements that are not part of the bankruptcy reorganization proceedings. Included in
our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001, as well as 2000, SBL and Infonet had $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.

For
year ended December 31, 2001, our consolidated statement of operations included $24 thousand in income from SBL and InfoNet. For the year ended December 31,
2000, our consolidated statement of operations included a loss of $4.4 million contributed by SBL and Infonet. Contained in the $4.4 million loss was a loss of $13.5 million that
was the 1999 intercompany balance between SNTL and SBL written off in 2000; this was eliminated on our consolidated statement of operations.
