remaining three months of the year.
NOTE IV - FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

to be reported quarterly.
NOTE V - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (000's omitted)
In the first nine months of 1998, the Company experienced less unrealized gains
in equity securities than in the first nine months of 1997, resulting in
comprehensive income of $248,014 in 1998, compared to $1,107,075 in 1997 and a
third quarter 1998 comprehensive loss of $(341,469) compared to comprehensive

(000's omitted)
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Premiums earned for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 have increased
$65,856 (6%) over the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Also, premiums
earned have increased $21,241 (6%) for the three months ended September 30, 1998
over the three months ended September 30, 1997. For the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1998 and the three-month period ended September 30, 1998, the
growth rate of our property and casualty subsidiaries is less than last year on
both a gross written and earned premium basis. These growth rates were less than
last year because the increases in new business and some rate increases on
personal lines business were offset by the continued softness of the commercial
lines market and by lower premiums on workers' compensation coverages. The net
premium growth of our life and health subsidiary has increased 24.1% for the
nine-month and 26.8% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1998
compared to the same periods of 1997. The premium growth in our life subsidiary
is mainly attributable to growth of life insurance and increased annuity sales
of structured settlements from Cincinnati Insurance claims. For the nine-month
and three-month periods ended September 30, 1998, investment income, net of
expenses, has increased $13,667 (5%) and $3,201 (4%) when compared with the
first nine months and third quarter of 1997, respectively. This increase is the
result of the growth of the investment portfolio because of investing cash flows
from operations and dividend increases from equity securities.
Realized gains on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
amounted to $71,624 compared to $64,599 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1997, and $18,861 for the three-month period ended September 30,
1998 compared to $20,308 for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997.
The realized gains are predominantly the result of the sale of equity
securities. With convertible securities, it is management's decision to realize
the gains and reinvest the proceeds at higher yields. Other equity securities
are sold at the discretion of management and reinvested in other equity
securities.
Insurance losses and policyholder benefits (net of reinsurance recoveries)
increased $117,384 (15%) for the first nine months of 1998 over the same period
in 1997 and increased $51,735 (20%) for the third quarter when compared to the
third quarter of 1997. The losses and benefits of the property and casualty
companies have increased $111,582 for the nine-month period and increased
$46,927 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to the comparable periods for
1997. The property and casualty losses for the first nine months and for the
third quarter of 1998 have increased because of an increase in catastrophe
losses and a higher incidence of claims that occur in the normal course of
business. Catastrophe losses were $81.8 million and $23.5 million, respectively,
for the first nine months of 1998 and 1997 and were $24.5 million and $9.0
million, respectively, for the third quarter of 1998 and 1997. These losses were
substantially higher for the first nine months and third quarter of 1998
compared to the same periods of 1997 because of higher incidence and severity of
these weather-related claims. Policyholder benefits of the life insurance
subsidiary increased $5,802 for the first nine months of 1998 over the same
period of 1997 and increased $4,808 for the third quarter when compared to the
third quarter of 1997. The majority of the nine-month and third quarter increase
is the result of an increase in life-related costs.
Commission expenses decreased $2,479 for the nine-month period ended September
30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997 and increased $350 for the third
quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. The decrease for the year
is attributable to lower contingency commissions. Other operating expenses
increased $8,840 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to
the same period for 1997 and increased $2,473 for the third quarter of 1998
compared to the same period in 1997. The increase is attributable to increases
in staff and costs associated to our investment in infrastructure to support
future growth. Interest expenses increased $4,286 for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period for 1997 and increased
$2,583 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. The
increase is attributable to the increase in debt and a higher interest rate of
the 30-year senior debenture compared to short-term debt held previously.
8
Provision for income taxes, current and deferred, have decreased by $16,384 for
the first nine months of 1998 compared to the first nine months of 1997 and have
decreased $13,860 for the third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of
1997. The decrease in federal taxes is primarily attributable to a decrease in
the effective tax rate to 22.6% from 24.5% at September 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and a decrease in the effective tax rate to 17.3% from 24.5% for
the third quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company issued $419,594 of 30-year, noncallable senior debentures in the
second quarter 1998. Proceeds were used to pay off $279,694 of short-term debt
as it matures and for future general corporate purposes, including the expansion
of the Company's headquarters.
The Company has been working on the Year 2000 project for several years to
address potential problems within the Company's operations that could result
from the century change. The corporate Information Systems Department is
primarily responsible for this endeavor and has a designated team of Company
associates assigned to this effort. This team has access to key associates in
all areas of the Company's operations as well as to outside consultants and
resources on an as-needed basis.
The Information Systems Department provides a comprehensive report on a
quarterly basis for corporate management and the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors. This report identifies progress against the plan as well as
projections on specific issues.
% of Hardware/Software Applications Year 2000 Compliant
-------------------------------------------------------
Actual as of Planned as of Planned as of
Sept. 30, 1998 Dec. 31, 1998 June 30, 1999
-------------- ------------- -------------
Mission critical systems 75% 90% 100%
All other systems 75% 90% 100%
We have identified computer systems (both hardware and software), including
equipment with embedded computer chips, that were not Year 2000 compliant;
determined what revisions or replacements would be needed to achieve compliance;
prioritized and proceeded to implement those revisions or replacements;
instituted testing procedures to ensure that the revisions and fixes are
operational; and moved the compliant systems into production. As of September
30, 1998, approximately 75% of the applications have either been modified to be
compliant or have been replaced by purchased compliant systems. Additional
in-depth testing, both internal and third-party related, is planned into 1999.
We believe that all critical systems will be Year 2000 compliant by June 30,
1999.
As part of the overall review of Year 2000, the Company is verifying with
certain key outside vendors, and with others where a significant business
relationship exists to determine their Year 2000 compliance status and plans.
Because the Company markets products through independent agencies, it is of
paramount importance that those approximately 1,000 agencies (1,300 offices)
successfully transition to a Year 2000 compliant processing system. We are
actively working with those agencies. As of September 1998, nearly all of the
agencies' processing systems have either been made compliant or the agencies
have plans to get them compliant by June 30, 1999. Phone and personal interviews
are being used to verify the progress of the agencies.
Contingency planning for the Year 2000 includes standard backup and recovery
procedures to be followed in the event of a critical system failure. While we do
not expect any unusual kinds of failure as a result of specific Year 2000
related changes, by June 30, 1999, we plan to develop specific backup procedures
for the Year 2000 to minimize the effect of any potential problems.
Should the Company or a third party with whom the Company transacts business
have a system failure due to the century change, it is believed it will not
result in more than a delay in processing or reporting, with no material
financial impact.
9
We have budgeted $9.5 million pretax to resolve the Year 2000 issues. This would
encompass the costs of modifications, the salaries of the associates primarily
assigned to this effort and the fees of outside consultants for this effort. As
of September 30, 1998, the Company has incurred approximately $6.8 million of
these costs. The expenses incurred during the first nine months of 1998 were
approximately $3.1 million.
Although the Company expects its systems to be Year 2000 compliant on or before
December 31, 1999, it cannot predict the outcome or the success of its Year 2000
project, or that third-party systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant, or that
the costs required to address the Year 2000 issue or the impact of a failure to
achieve substantial Year 2000 compliance will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Company could incur losses due to adverse changes in market rates and
prices. The Company's primary market risk exposures are to changes in price for
equity securities and changes in interest rates and credit ratings for fixed
maturity securities. The Company could alter the existing investment portfolios
or change the character of future investments to manage exposure to market risk.
CFC, with the Board of Directors, administers and oversees investment risk
through the Investment Committee, which provides executive oversight of
investment activities. The Company has specific investment guidelines and
policies that define the overall framework used daily by investment portfolio
managers to limit the Company's exposure to market risk.
On November 22, 1996, the Board authorized repurchase of up to 3 million of the
Company's outstanding shares. On August 21, 1998, the Board authorized
repurchase of an additional 6 million shares, to reflect the three-for-one
split, which results in a total of 9 million shares authorized to be
repurchased. As of September 30, 1998, the Company has repurchased 3.1 million
shares, and plans to repurchase the remaining 5.9 million shares as management
deems appropriate, over an unspecified period of time.
