Highlight of Business Operations:

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, Risk Solutions and our Agencies generated revenues of $7.0 million compared to $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to a decrease in profit commissions earned.

The Company recorded an increase in the loss ratio in the medical stop-loss line of business for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 due to the poor performance on business written through one program. This increase was partially offset by the reversal of profit commissions as evidenced by the profit commission ratio.

Fee and Agency Income. Fee and agency income increased $156,000 from 2011 to 2012. Risk Solutions fee income-administration decreased $70,000 to $1,190,000 for 2012, compared to $1,260,000 for 2011. Risk Solutions fee income-profit commission increased $32,000 to $401,000 for 2012, compared to $369,000 for 2011.
