DONEGAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (UNAUDITED) SUMMARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 - ORGANIZATION Donegal Group Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a regional insurance holding company by Donegal Mutual Insurance Company (the "Mutual Company") on August 26, 1986 and operates in the Mid-Atlantic and Southern states through its wholly-owned stock insurance companies, Atlantic States Insurance Company ("Atlantic States"), Southern Heritage Insurance Company ("Southern Heritage"), Southern Insurance Company of Virginia ("Southern") and Pioneer Insurance Company - Ohio ("Pioneer - Ohio") (collectively "Insurance Subsidiaries"). The Company has three operating segments: the investment function, the personal lines of insurance and the commercial lines of insurance. Products offered in the personal lines of insurance consist primarily of homeowners and private passenger automobile policies. Products offered in the commercial lines of insurance consist primarily of commercial automobile, commercial multiple peril and workers' compensation policies. The Insurance Subsidiaries are subject to regulation by Insurance Departments in those states in which they operate and undergo periodic examinations by those departments. The Insurance Subsidiaries are also subject to competition from other insurance companies in their operating areas. Atlantic States participates in an inter-company pooling arrangement with the Mutual Company and assumes 70% of the pooled business. Prior to 2002 Southern ceded 50% of its business to the Mutual Company. At March 31, 2001, the Mutual Company held 63% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. On January 1, 2002, the Mutual Company and Southern terminated their quota share agreement, under which Southern ceded 50% of its direct business, less reinsurance, to the Mutual Company. As a result of this termination, the Company's prepaid reinsurance premiums decreased $7,310,471, unearned premiums decreased $5,117,330, and deferred policy acquisition costs increased $714,853. The Mutual Company will transfer $1,478,288 in cash to the Company related to this termination. The Company did not recognize a gain or loss on this transaction. During 2000, the Company acquired 45% of the outstanding stock of Donegal Financial Services Corporation ("DFSC"), a bank holding company, for $3,042,000 in cash. The remaining 55% of the outstanding stock of DFSC is owned by the Mutual Company. The Company has announced plans to streamline its corporate structure by merging a number of its subsidiaries together. Delaware Atlantic Insurance Company ("Delaware"), and Pioneer Insurance Company, New York, (Pioneer-New York) previously wholly owned subsidiaries, were merged into Atlantic States on August 1, 2001 and September 30, 2001, respectively. The mergers were accounted for as statutory mergers and had no financial impact on the consolidated entity. Pending regulatory approval, Southern Heritage will be merged into Southern Insurance and Pioneer-Ohio will be merged into Atlantic States Insurance Company. These mergers are not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company. Southern, Pioneer-Ohio and Southern Heritage (and Delaware and Pioneer-New York prior to merging into Atlantic States) each have agreements with the Mutual Company under which they cede, and then reassume back, 100% of their business net of reinsurance. The primary purpose of the agreements is to provide these subsidiaries with the same A. M. Best rating (currently "A") as the Mutual Company, which these subsidiaries could not achieve without these contracts in place. These agreements do not transfer insurance risk. While these subsidiaries ceded and reassumed amounts received from policyholders of $20,541,417 and $17,037,440 and claims of $7,559,925 and $5,615,685 under these agreements in the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the amounts are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The aggregate liabilities ceded and reassumed under these agreements were $45,657,568 and $36,494,487 at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial information for the interim period included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flow for the interim period included herein. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002. 5
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows: WEIGHTED AVERAGE EARNINGS NET SHARES PER INCOME OUTSTANDING SHARE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31: ------ ----------- -------- 2002 - ---- Basic $2,180,716 9,030,160 $ .24 Effect of stock options -- 94,365 -- ---------- ---------- -------- Diluted $2,180,716 9,124,525 $ .24 ---------- ---------- -------- 2001 - ---- Basic $2,954,595 8,890,314 $ .33 Effect of stock options -- 98,433 -- ---------- ---------- -------- Diluted $2,954,595 8,988,747 $ .33 ---------- ---------- -------- The following options to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price: FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 2001 ---- ---- Number of Options 942,834 1,042,338 ======= ========= 4 - SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company evaluates the performance of the personal lines and commercial lines based upon underwriting results as determined under statutory accounting practices (SAP), which is used by management to measure performance for the total business of the Company. Financial data by segment is as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ($ in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Revenues: Premiums earned: Commercial lines $16,494 $15,009 Personal lines 28,958 25,032 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total net premiums earned 45,452 40,041 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net investment income 3,730 4,041 Realized investment Gain 127 121 Other 725 589 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total revenues $50,034 $44,792 ============================================================================== 6

These bonds had an amortized cost of $488,901, and the sale resulted in a realized loss of $73,901. There were no other sales or transfers from the held to maturity portfolio. 7
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 - ------------------------------------ Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were $50,034,046, which were $5,242,020, or 11.7%, greater than the same period in 2001. Net premiums earned increased to $45,452,260, an increase of $5,411,358, or 13.5%, over the first quarter of 2001. Direct premiums written of the combined pool of Atlantic States and Donegal Mutual increased $6,743,369, or 14.9%. A 5.9% increase in the direct premiums written of Southern, a 44.6% increase in the direct premiums written of Pioneer-Ohio and a 16.5% increase in the direct premiums written of Southern Heritage accounted for the majority of the increase. The Company reported net realized investment gains of $126,778 in the first quarter of 2002 compared to a gain of $120,807 for the same period of 2001. The realized gain in 2002 was net of realized losses of $60,078 which resulted from changes in the market value of securities that were determined to be other then temporary. The realized gain in 2001 resulted from the normal turnover of the Company's portfolio. Investment income was $3,730,304, a decrease of $310,882, or 7.7%, from the first quarter of 2001. An increase in average invested assets from $288.3 million in the first quarter of 2001 to $304.0 million in the first quarter of 2002 offset by a decrease in the annualized average return on investments from 5.6% in the first quarter of 2001 to 4.9% in the first quarter of 2002 accounted for the change. The GAAP combined ratio of insurance operations in the first quarter of 2002 was 101.8% compared to 98.8% for the same period in 2001. The GAAP combined ratio is the sum of the ratios of incurred losses and loss adjusting expenses to premiums earned (loss ratio), policyholders' dividends to premiums earned (dividend ratio), and underwriting expenses to premiums earned (expense ratio). The Company's loss ratio in the first quarter of 2002 was 68.9% compared to 65.3% in the first quarter of 2001. The increase in loss ratio was due to higher losses in personal lines. The Company's expense ratio for the first quarter of 2002 was 31.9% compared to 32.5% for the first quarter of 2001. The dividend ratio remained unchanged at 1.0%. Federal income taxes for the first quarter of 2002 represented 26.0% of the income before income taxes compared to 26.5% for the same period of 2001. These rates vary from the expected rate of 34% primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt investment income. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Company generates sufficient funds from its operations and maintains a high degree of liquidity in its investment portfolio. The primary source of funds to meet the demands of claim settlements and operating expenses are premium collections, investment earnings and maturing investments. The Company had no significant commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2002. In investing funds made available from operations, the Company maintains securities maturities consistent with its projected cash needs for the payment of claims and expenses. The Company maintains a portion of its investment portfolio in relatively short-term and highly liquid assets to ensure the availability of funds. As of March 31, 2002, pursuant to a credit agreement dated December 29, 1995, and amended as of July 27, 1998, with Fleet National Bank of Connecticut, (the " Bank") the Company had unsecured borrowings of $27.6 million. Per the terms of the credit agreement, the Company may borrow up to $32 million at interest rates equal to the bank's then current prime rate or the then current London interbank Eurodollar bank rate plus 1.70%. At March 31, 2002, the interest rates on the outstanding balances were 3.6625% on an outstanding eurodollar balance of $12.6 million and 3.6375% on an outstanding eurodollar rate balance of $15.0 million. In addition, the Company pays a non-use fee at a rate of 3/10 of 1% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the Bank's commitment. On each July 27, commencing July 27, 2001, the credit line is reduced by $8 million. Any outstanding loan in excess of the remaining credit line, after such reduction, will then be payable. 8
The Company's principal source of cash with which to pay stockholder dividends is dividends from Atlantic States, Southern, Pioneer - Ohio and Southern Heritage which are required by law to maintain certain minimum surplus on a statutory basis and are subject to regulations under which payment of dividends from statutory surplus is restricted and may require prior approval of their domiciliary insurance regulatory authorities. Atlantic States, Southern, Pioneer - Ohio and Southern Heritage are subject to Risk Based Capital (RBC) requirements. At December 31, 2001, each of the Companies' capital was substantially above the RBC requirements. In 2002 amounts available for distribution as dividends to Donegal Group without prior approval of the insurance regulatory authorities are $8,612,490 from Atlantic States, $1,086,348 from Southern, $552,447 from Pioneer - Ohio and $3,514,487 from Southern Heritage. CREDIT RISK - ----------- The Company provides property and liability coverages through its subsidiaries' independent agency systems located throughout its operating area. The majority of this business is billed directly to the insured although a portion of Donegal Group's commercial business is billed through its agents who are extended credit in the normal course of business. The Company's subsidiaries have reinsurance agreements in place with the Mutual Company and with a number of other major authorized reinsurers. IMPACT OF INFLATION - ------------------- Property and casualty insurance premiums are established before the amount of losses and loss settlement expenses, or the extent to which inflation may impact such expenses, are known. Consequently, the Company attempts, in establishing rates, to anticipate the potential impact of inflation. 9

DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES. - ------ ------------------------------- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK --------------------------------------------------------- The Company's market risk generally represents the risk of gain or loss that may result from the potential change in the fair value of the Company's investment portfolio as a result of fluctuations in prices and interest rates and, to a lesser extent, its debt obligations. The Company attempts to manage its interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate relationship between the average duration of the investment portfolio and the approximate duration of its liabilities, i.e., policy claims and debt obligations. The Company has maintained approximately the same duration of its investment portfolio to its liabilities from December 31, 2001 to March 31, 2002. In addition, the Company has maintained approximately the same investment mix during this period. There have been no material changes to the Company's quantitative or qualitative market risk exposure from December 31, 2001 through March 31, 2002. ITEM 4.
