1. Ownership and Organization
--------------------------
Cumberland Technologies, Inc. ("CTI" or "the Company") f/k/a Cumberland
Holdings, Inc., a Florida Corporation, was formed on November 18, 1991, to
be a Holding Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimmins Corp. ("KC").
Effective October 1, 1992, KC contributed all of the outstanding common
stock of two of its other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cumberland Casualty &
Surety Company ("CCS") and Surety Specialists, Inc. ("SSI") to CTI. KC then
distributed to its stockholders CTI's common stock on the basis of one
share of common stock of CTI for each five shares of KC common stock and
Class B common stock owned (the "Distribution".) Effective January 30,
1997, Cumberland Holdings, Inc. changed its name to Cumberland
Technologies, Inc. CTI conducts its business through five wholly-owned
subsidiaries. CCS, a Florida corporation formed in May 1988, provides
underwriting for specialty surety and performance and payment bonds for
contractors. The surety services provided include direct surety and to a
lesser extent, assumed reinsurance. SSI, a Florida corporation formed in
August 1988, is a general lines agency which operates as an independent
agent. Surety Group ("SG"), a Georgia corporation, and Associates
Acquisition Corp. d/b/a Surety Associates ("SA"), a South Carolina
corporation, purchased in February and July 1995, respectively, are general
lines agencies which operate as independent agencies. Qualex Consulting
Group, Inc. ("Qualex"), a Florida corporation formed in November 1994,
provides claim and contracting consulting services.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------
Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CTI and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future
quarters or the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information,
refer to consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2001, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2002.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
-----------------------------------------------------
Investments
-----------
The Company accounts for marketable securities in accordance with Statement
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities."
Debt securities that the Company has both the positive intent and ability
to hold to maturity are classified as "held-to-maturity" securities and are
reported at amortized cost. The amortized cost of debt securities is
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts from the
date of purchase to maturity. Such amortization and accretion, which is
calculated under the interest method, is included in investment income.
Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as
"held-to-maturity" or "trading" are classified as "available-for-sale."
Available-for-sale securities are reported at estimated fair value, with
the unrealized gains and losses, net of any related income taxes, reported
as a separate component of stockholders' equity and of other comprehensive
income (loss). Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be
other-than-temporary are included in income. The cost of securities sold is
based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on
securities are included in investment income.
Short-term investments primarily include certificates of deposit having
maturities of more than three months when purchased. These investments are
reported at cost, which approximates fair value.
Cash Equivalents
----------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments having a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs
---------------------------------
To the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, the costs of
acquiring new surety business, principally commissions, are deferred and
amortized in a manner which charges each year's operations in direct
proportion to the premium revenue recognized.

JUNE 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
-----------------------------------------------------
Intangibles
-----------
As of January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets," which addresses the financial accounting and
reporting standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a
business combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets
subsequent to their acquisition. This accounting standard requires that
goodwill be separately disclosed from other intangible assets in the
statement of financial position, and no longer be amortized but tested for
impairment on a periodic basis. The provisions of this accounting standard
also require the completion of a transitional impairment test within six
months of adoption, with any impairments identified treated as a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the amortization
of goodwill effective January 1, 2002. A reconciliation of previously
reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the
exclusion of goodwill amortization net of the related income tax effect
follows:

============= ===========
The Company completed the transitional impairment tests and the results
indicated that the fair value of goodwill was not materially different than
the carrying value.
Intangible assets are stated at cost and principally represent purchased
customer accounts, noncompete agreements, purchased contract agreements,
and the excess of costs over the fair value of identifiable net assets
acquired ("Goodwill"). Prior to the implementation of SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. All other
intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the related
estimated lives and contract periods, which range from 3 to 15 years.
Purchased customer accounts are records and files obtained from acquired
businesses that contain information on insurance policies and the related
insured parties that is essential to policy renewals.
The carrying value of Goodwill and other intangible assets are reviewed
periodically for impairment. If this review indicates that the intangible
assets will not be recoverable, as determined based on the fair value of
the entity acquired over the remaining amortization period, the Company's
carrying value of the Goodwill and other intangible assets will be reduced
to approximate fair value.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
-----------------------------------------------------
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses
---------------------------------
The liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses including incurred but
not reported losses is based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling the
claim using traditional paid and incurred loss development methods. These
estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and
frequency. Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates,
management believes that the liabilities for loss and loss adjustment
expenses are adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted
as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known. Such
adjustments are included in current operations. A liability for all costs
expected to be incurred in connection with the settlement of unpaid loss
and loss adjustment expenses are accrued when the related liability for
unpaid losses is accrued. Loss adjustment expenses include costs associated
directly with specific claims paid or in the process of settlement, such as
legal and adjusters' fees. Loss adjustment expenses also include other
costs that cannot be associated with specific claims but are related to
losses paid or in the process of settlement, such as internal costs of the
claims function.
The Company does not discount its reserves for losses and loss adjustment
expenses. The Company writes primarily surety contracts which are of short
duration.
The Company does not consider investment income in determining if a premium
deficiency relating to short duration contracts exists.
Unearned Premiums
-----------------
Unearned premiums are deferred and amortized on a pro-rata basis.
Reinsurance
-----------
The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance and participates in various
pools. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
premiums, benefits and settlement expenses, and deferred policy acquisition
costs, net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers for
unpaid losses are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability
associated with the reinsured policies.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
Premiums earned on direct insurance and assumed reinsurance are recognized
on a pro-rata basis over the period of risk. Commission income, which is
earned on ceded premiums and premiums written for other third party
insurance carriers, is recognized at the effective date of the bonds
issued. Other income, consisting primarily of consulting fees, is
recognized when the negotiated services are provided.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
-----------------------------------------------------
Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
The Company has adopted only the pro forma disclosure provisions of
Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("SFAS No.
123"). SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require companies to record at
fair value compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans.
The Company accounts for equity-based compensation arrangements in
accordance with the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and related interpretations. Intrinsic value is the amount by which the
market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the
stock option or award on the measurement date, generally the date of grant.
Income Taxes
------------
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax basis. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The Company has recorded a deferred income tax asset of $586,694 and
$499,145 at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Realization
of the asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future
years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more
likely than not that all of the deferred income tax asset will be realized.
The Company files a consolidated tax return that includes all of its
subsidiaries.
Earnings Per Share
------------------
The Company computes and discloses earnings (loss) per share in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. The Company excluded 54,700 outstanding stock options
at June 30, 2002 in the computation of earnings per share, as the effect of
these options would have been anti-dilutive. The inclusion of 45,300
outstanding stock options in the computation of earnings per share at June
30, 2001 resulted in diluted earnings per share that was the same as basic
earnings per share.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
-----------------------------------------------------
Business Concentration
----------------------
The majority of the Company's business relates to surety and performance
bonds for contractors. Accordingly, the occurrence of adverse economic
conditions in the contracting business could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business. The Company only requires collateral from surety
bond customers if the customer meets between 80 percent to 99 percent of
the Company's underwriting criteria. Customers that fail to meet at least
80 percent of the requirements are denied surety bonding.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more
information becomes known which would affect the amounts reported and
disclosed herein.
New Accounting Standards
------------------------
In July 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141,
"Business Combinations" was approved by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB). SFAS No.141 requires that the purchase method of accounting
be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations ("SFAS 143"). SFAS 143 provides accounting and
reporting standards related to obligations associated with the retirement
of tangible long-lived assets. SFAS 143 is effective on January 1, 2003,
however, earlier application is encouraged. The Company has not evaluated
the effect, if any, that the adoption of SFAS 143 will have on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 144 provides
accounting and reporting standards for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. SFAS 144 supersedes SFAS 121 but retains SFAS 121's
fundamental provisions for (a) recognition/measurement of impairment of
long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived
assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS 144 also supersedes the
accounting/reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
30 ("APB 30") for segments of a business to be disposed of but retains APB
30's requirement to report discontinued operations separately from
continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component of an
entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale.
SFAS 144 is effective January 1, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS 144
effective January 1, 2002, and the adoption of this statement had no impact
on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the
Company.

-----------------------------------------------------
New Accounting Standards (continued)
-----------------------------------
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections." SFAS No. 145 addresses the accounting for gains and losses
from the extinguishment of debt, economic effects and accounting practices
of sale-leaseback transactions and makes technical corrections to existing
pronouncements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 on April 1, 2002, and the
adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." This Statement addresses
financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue
No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employees Termination Benefits
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)." Charges relating to the exit of an activity or disposal of
long-lived assets will be recorded when they are incurred and measurable.
Prior to SFAS No. 146 these charges were accrued at the time of commitment
to exit or dispose and activity. The Company has not yet determined the
impact of the adoption of this statement.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain amounts in the 2001 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform to the 2002 consolidated financial statement
presentation.
3. Related Party Transactions
--------------------------
In 1988, CCS issued a surplus debenture to KC in exchange for $3,000,000
which bears interest at 10 percent per annum. Interest and principal
payments are subject to approval by the Florida Department of Insurance. On
April 1, 1997, CTI forgave $375,000 of its $3,000,000 surplus debenture due
to CCS. As a result, CCS increased paid in capital by $375,000. On June 30,
1999, CTI forgave $576,266 of its $2,625,000 surplus debenture due from
CCS. As a result, CCS increased paid-in capital to $1,000,000. As of June
30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, no payments could be made under the terms
of the debenture.
On March 8, 2002, Cumberland purchased a residential mortgage from Francis
M. Williams. Mr. Williams is Chairman of the Board of the Company. The
principal balance on the loan was $36,906. Interest accrued through the
date of acquisition was $129 at an annual interest rate of 7.5%. No prior
liens exist related to taxes, assessments or other similar charges.

37.4% and 31.6%, respectively.
6. Debt
----
Affiliate
---------
Effective November 10, 1998, CTI entered into a $1,000,000 convertible term
note agreement with TransCor Waste Services, Inc., a subsidiary of KC. The
note is due November 10, 2002 and bears interest equal to one half of one
percent per annum in excess of the stated interest rate established by the
Bank of America. On December 26, 2001, the Company made a principal note
payment of $395,495 reducing the note to $604,055. The lender may convert
the principal amount of the note or a portion thereof into common stock at
$3.00 per share subsequent to a six-month anniversary and prior to the
maturity date.
Nonaffiliate
------------
In connection with the acquisition of certain agencies during 1995, the
Company entered into two notes payable with the agencies' previous owners.
One note is due March 1, 2002 and bears interest at 8% through February 28,
2001 and 10% thereafter. Principal payments of $125,000 are due annually
beginning March 1, 2000. The other note is due June 30, 2010 and bears
interest 9%. Principal payments of $40,000 were due annually for three
years beginning January 5, 1996. Payments of $11,104 including principal
and interest were paid monthly from April 1, 1997 through June 30, 2001. On
December 3, 2001, SA reached an agreement with the holder on this note
payable, whereby the terms of the note were modified, such that the
effective interest rate was 6%, and principal payments became payable at
$6,000 per month. On March 1, 2002, a final payment of $125,000 was made on
the note due March 1, 2002.

7. Reinsurance
-----------
The Company assumes and cedes reinsurance and participates in various
pools. The financial statements reflect premiums, benefits and settlement
expenses, and deferred policy acquisition costs, net of reinsurance ceded.
Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent
with the future policy benefit and claim liability associated with the
reinsured policies.
Accounts recoverable from reinsurers for unpaid losses are presented as an
asset in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
8. Accounting for Derivative Instruments
-------------------------------------
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No.
133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded
in other contracts, and for hedging activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain
contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the
definition of a derivative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 effective
January 1, 2001. The Company identified one product that meets the
definition of a derivative instrument as defined in SFAS No. 133. The
policy is issued to registered investment advisors ("Advisors"), and
insures losses suffered by the Advisors as a result of market declines on
covered investment principal, provided that the Advisors have followed the
investment guidelines required by the policy. The identified derivative was
formerly accounted for as an insurance contract within the policy
liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses account in the
consolidated balance sheet prior to January 1, 2001. There was no
cumulative effect of change in accounting principal due to the fact that
the policy liability recorded for this policy at December 31, 2000
approximated the fair value of the derivative instrument at January 1,
2001. The fair value of the derivative instrument at June 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001 is $2,904,658 and $1,978,891, respectively. The Company
is not involved in any hedging activities. At June 30, 2002 the fair value
of the derivative instrument has been determined by using a financial model
that incorporates market data and other assumptions. Due to the volatility
in the marketplace, the Company has suspended marketing of this product
effective September 2001.

9. Statutory Accounting Practices
------------------------------
CCS is domiciled in Florida and prepares its statutory-basis financial
statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted
by the Florida Insurance Department. "Prescribed" statutory accounting
practices include state laws, regulations, and general administrative
rules, as well as a variety of publications of the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC"). "Permitted" statutory accounting
practices encompass all accounting practices that are not prescribed; such
practices may differ from state to state, may differ from company to
company within a state, and may change in the future. In 1998, the NAIC
adopted the Codification of Statutory Accounting Principles (Codification)
for insurance companies. Codification, which is intended to standardize
regulatory accounting and reporting for the insurance industry, is
effective January 1, 2001. The Company implemented codification at January
1, 2001. On a statutory accounting basis, CCS reported losses net of taxes
of ($1,679,537) for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Statutory surplus
(shareholders' equity) of these operations was $5,148,613 and $6,503,218 as
of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.
10. Comprehensive Income
--------------------
Comprehensive income is defined as any change in equity from transactions
and other events originating from nonowner sources. In the Company's case,
those changes are principally comprised of reported net income and changes
in the unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the Company's
available-for-sale securities. SFAS No. 130 requires that the Company
report all components of comprehensive income. The following summaries
present the components of comprehensive income, other than net income, for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, respectively.

11. Contingencies
-------------
CCS has been named in a class action lawsuit in the United States District
Court for the District of Colorado. The plaintiffs are clients of a
registered investment advisor (the "Advisor") and have alleged that the
Advisor, a registered broker-dealer, and certain other defendants
(excluding CCS) were negligent or otherwise responsible for losses suffered
by the plaintiffs resulting from embezzlement of the plaintiffs'
investments by a third party. As a separate count in the lawsuit, the
plaintiffs have also asserted claims against CCS based on a policy of
insurance issued by CCS to the Advisor. The policy does not provide
coverage for embezzlement, rather it insures losses caused by market
declines, providing that the Advisor has followed the investment guidelines
required by the policy. On July 31, 2002, the District Court granted CCS's
motion for summary judgment and dismissed the claims against CCS.

historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on
certain assumptions and analysis made by the Company in light of its experience
and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments as well as factors it believes are appropriate in the
circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform
with the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks
and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ significantly and
materially from past results and from the Company's expectations. These risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in the market value
of the Company's investments, increases in the Company's liability under
derivative securities, losses on claims in excess of the Company's reserves,
competition in the insurance industry, inability to recover from reinsurers for
unpaid losses, unanticipated losses from litigation, the effects of new or
existing government regulations, and the impact of new accounting
pronouncements. All of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are
qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the
actual results or development anticipated by the Company will be realized or,
even if substantially realized that they will have the expected consequences to
or effects on the Company or its business or operations.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
------ FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
The capacity of a surety company to underwrite insurance and reinsurance is
based on maintaining liquidity and capital resources sufficient to pay claims
and expenses as they become due. Based on standards established by the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and promulgated by the Florida
Department of Insurance, the Company is permitted to write net premiums up to an
amount equal to three times its statutory surplus, or approximately $15,500,000
at December 31, 2002. Statutory guidelines impose an additional limitation on
increasing net written premiums to no more than 33% of prior year's net written
premiums. Under these guidelines, the Company could increase net written
premiums by approximately $1,900,000 in the year 2002 subject to risk-based
capital limitations.
At June 30, 2002, $24,442,560 of the Company's total assets calculated
based on generally accepted accounting principles were comprised as follows: 48
percent in cash and investments (including accrued investment income), 30
percent in receivables and reinsurance recoverables, 6 percent in income tax
recoverable and deferred tax asset, 10 percent in intangibles and deferred
policy acquisition costs and 6 percent in other assets.
The Company follows investment guidelines that are intended to provide an
acceptable return on investment while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet
its obligations.
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was ($1,830,715) and
$654,534 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Net cash
used in operating activities for the period ended June 30, 2002 is primarily
attributed to loss from operations, a decrease in ceded reinsurance payable, an
increase in reinsurance recoverable and is offset by increases in accounts
payable and policy and derivative liabilities. Net cash provided by operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 is primarily attributed to
income from operations, a decrease in reinsurance recoverable and an increase in
derivative liability which are offset by an increase in accounts receivable,
derivative liability, and ceded reinsurance payable.
Net cash used in investing activities was $649,631 and $230,878 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, and 2001, respectively. Investing activities consist
of purchases, sales, and maturities of investments.
Net cash used in financing activities was $173,785 and $158,158 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Financing activities consist
primarily of payments on long-term debt.
It is anticipated that the liquidity requirements of the Company will be
met primarily by funds generated from operations. The principal sources of
operating cash flows are premiums, investment income, and sales and maturities
of investments. The Company believes that total invested assets, including cash
and short-term investments, are sufficient in the aggregate and have suitably
scheduled maturities to satisfy all policy claims and other operating
liabilities.
As of June 30, 2002, the Company believes that it has sufficient capital
resources to fund its present capital requirements.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
------ FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Critical Accounting Policies
----------------------------
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the
Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based
on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes the following accounting policies are the most
critical since these policies require significant judgment or involve complex
estimations that are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial
condition and operating results:
Asset Impairment
----------------
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including certain identifiable
intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Upon determination
that the carrying value of the asset is impaired, the Company would record an
impairment charge or loss. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor
operating results of the underlying investment could result in losses or an
inability to recover the carrying value of the investment that may not be
reflected therein; and therefore, might require the Company to record an
impairment charge in the future.
Derivatives
-----------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No.133") is effective for
all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts that were not formerly
considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. The Company identified one
product that meets the definition of a derivative instrument as defined in SFAS
No. 133. The identified derivative was formerly accounted for as an insurance
contract within the policy liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses
account in the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2001 and June 30,
2002 the fair value of the derivative instrument has been determined by using a
financial model that incorporates market data and other assumptions. Due to the
volatility in the marketplace, the Company has suspended marketing of this
product effective September 2001.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
------ FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
Critical Accounting Policies (continued)
----------------------------------------
Reserves for Unpaid Losses and Adjustment Expenses
--------------------------------------------------
The liability for loss and loss adjustment expenses including incurred but
not reported losses is based on the estimated ultimate cost of settling the
claim using traditional paid and incurred loss development methods. These
estimates are subject to the effects of trends in loss severity and frequency.
Although considerable variability is inherent in such estimates, management
believes that the liabilities for loss and loss adjustment expenses are
adequate. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as
experience develops or new information becomes known. Such adjustments are
included in current operations. A liability for all costs expected to be
incurred in connection with the settlement of unpaid loss and loss adjustment
expenses is accrued when the related liability for unpaid losses is accrued.
Loss adjustment expenses include costs associated directly with specific claims
paid or in the process of settlement, such as legal and adjusters' fees. Loss
adjustment expenses also include other costs that cannot be associated with
specific claims but are related to losses paid or in the process of settlement,
such as internal costs of the claims function. The Company does not discount its
reserves for losses and loss adjustment expenses. The Company writes primarily
surety contracts which are of short duration. The Company does not consider
investment income in determining if a premium deficiency relating to short
duration contracts exists.
Reinsurance
-----------
The Company assumes and cedes insurance with other insurers and reinsurers
to limit maximum loss, provide greater diversification of risk and minimize
exposure on larger risks. Premiums and loss and loss adjustment expenses that
are ceded under reinsurance arrangements reduce the respective revenues and
expenses. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner
consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy and are
reported as reinsurance recoverable.
Income Taxes
------------
The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under the
liability method, deferred income taxes are established for the future tax
effects of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases
of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates. Such temporary
differences primarily relate to insurance reserves, deferred policy acquisition
costs and intangible assets. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment.

---------------------
COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001
-----------------------------------------------------
Direct, assumed and ceded premiums earned for the period ended June 30,
2002 exceeded premiums earned for the same period in 2001 by $745,090 or 12%.
Net premium income for the period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, was $7,004,724
and $6,259,634, respectively.
Net investment income for the period ending June 30, 2002 decreased by
$53,111 when compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is attributed to
an overall decrease in interest rates earned on the bond and money market
portfolio. Other income for the period ended June 30, 2002 was consistent when
compared to the same period of 2001.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, loss and loss adjustment
expenses increased by $3,006,626 when compared to the same period in 2001. The
increase is attributed to additional incurred losses and loss adjustment
expenses on direct business and assumed business in the amount of $1,235,655 and
$1,770,971, respectively. The increase in direct losses is attributed to one
large claim failing to meet the Company's reinsurance treaty guidelines. The
large volume of assumed losses incurred during the first six months of 2002 is
due to a change in estimates based on information received from the Company's
reinsurer. As a result of the unusually high volume of paid claims ($5,037,654
in the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $2,006,861 for the same
period in 2001) reserves were strengthened.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, derivative expense increased by
$172,424 or 20% when compared to the same period in 2001. The change is
attributed to an increase in the market value of the derivative liability
requiring an increase in the liability for derivative valuation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, amortization of deferred
policy acquisition costs was $2,315,653 as compared to $2,038,957 for the same
period in 2001. The amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs is 23% and
24% of written premiums for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to
the same period in 2001 increased by 1%. The Company's largest operating expense
is salary and related expenses representing 56% and 51% of the total operating
expense at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company goal for 2002 is
maintaining consistency with prior year operating expenses without disruption of
its marketing goals.
Interest expense represents payment to two subsidiary agencies previous
owners. The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002
is due to a decrease in the principal amount of the long-term debt.
Income taxes in the six months ending June 30, 2002 and 2001 were
calculated using effective rates of 37.4% and 31.6%, respectively. The variation
in the income tax rate is attributable to tax-exempt interest in the prior year.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001
-------------------------------------------------------
Direct, assumed and ceded premiums for the second quarter of 2002 increased
$744,626 or 23% when compared to the same period in 2001. Net premium income for
the period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, was $3,919,563 and $3,174,937,
respectively.
Net investment income for the period ending June 30, 2002 decreased by
$25,662 when compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is attributed to
an overall decrease in interest rates earned on the bond and money market
portfolio. Other income decreased slightly ($4,740) when compared to the same
period of 2001.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, loss and loss adjustment
expenses increased by $2,027,759 when compared to the same period in 2001. The
increase is primarily attributed to incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses
on direct and assumed business. Direct losses increase of $1,146,056 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared to the same period in 2001 is
primarily the result of an incurred claim not covered and the Company
reinsurance treaty. Assumed losses increased by $881,703 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 representing claims incurred due to a change in estimates
received from the Company's reinsurers. As a result, reserves were strengthened.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, derivative expense increased
by $307,933 when compared to the same period in 2001. The change is attributed
to an increase in the market value of the derivative liability requiring an
increase in the liability for derivative valuation.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002, amortization of deferred
policy acquisition costs was $1,305,000 as compared to $942,336 for the same
period in 2001. The amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs is 29% and
26% of written premiums for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. The 3% variance is attributed to the mix of business.
Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2002 when compared
to the same period in 2001 increased by 2%. The Company's largest operating
expense is salary and related expenses representing 58% and 51% of the total
operating expense at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company goal for
2002 is maintaining consistency with prior year operating expenses while
maintaining its marketing goals.
Interest expense represents payment to two subsidiary agencies' previous
owners. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30,
2002 is due to a decrease in the principal amount of the long-term debt.
Income taxes in the three months ending June 30, 2002 and 2001 were
calculated using annual effective rates of 38.0% and 14.2%, respectively.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
------ ----------------------------------------------------------
The Company had approximately $11.5 million of investments as of June 30,
2002. These investments largely consist of state government obligations and have
either variable rates of interest or stated interest rates ranging from 3.5% to
8.5%. The Company's investments are exposed to certain market risks inherent
with such assets. The risk of defaults is mitigated by the Company's policy of
investing in securities with high credit ratings and investing through major
financial institutions with high credit ratings. The Company has notes payable
of approximately $1.1 million at an average interest rate of 8.6%.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
---------------------------
Item 1. Legal proceedings
------ -----------------
CCS has been named in a class action lawsuit. The plaintiffs are
clients of a registered investment advisor (the "Advisor") and
have alleged that the Advisor, a registered broker-dealer, and
certain other defendants (excluding CCS) were negligent or
otherwise responsible for losses suffered by the plaintiffs
resulting from embezzlement of the plaintiffs' investments by a
third party. As a separate count in the lawsuit, the plaintiffs
have also asserted claims against CCS based on a policy of
insurance issued by CCS to the Advisor. The policy does not
provide coverage for embezzlement, rather it insures losses
caused by market declines, providing that the Advisor has
followed the investment guidelines required by the policy. On
July 31, 2002, the District Court granted CCS' motion for summary
judgment and dismissed the claims against CCS.

Item 5. Other Information
------ ------------------
On April 19, 2002, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq
Stock Market indicating that certain financial indicators as
reported in the Company's December 31, 2001 financial statements
were below applicable minimum requirements issued by Nasdaq to
maintain listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, including its
current trading price and market float. Unless these indicators
do improve by September 3, 2002, the Company's stock will be
de-listed from Nasdaq. The Company common stock is currently
eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, but will only be
traded if a qualified member of NASD decides to sponsor the stock
for trading.
