Years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999
Administrative service revenue increased by $14.8 million,
or 160%, in 2000 as compared to 1999. Fees from AIAG,
acquired in January 2000 and CHCS, acquired in August
2000 added $10.3 million and $2.2 million, respectively,
to the segment in 2000. Affiliated revenues at WorldNet
increased by $2.7 million as a result of the increase in premiums
serviced by WorldNet on behalf of the affiliated
Insurance Subsidiaries.
Currently, the Administrative Services segment administers
more than $330.0 million of annualized in-force premium.
Approximately $304.0 million of annualized premium in force
is administered on behalf of affiliates. This combined with fees
for telephone support and managed care and claims services
on behalf of the affiliated Insurance Subsidiaries generated
$18.1 million of affiliated revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2000. The remaining $6.0 million was generated
from services provided to unrelated companies.
The amortization of present value of future profits ("PVFP")
and goodwill relates primarily to the acquisition of AIAG.
Approximately $7.7 million of PVFP was established when
AIAG was acquired. It is being amortized in proportion to
the expected profits from the contracts in force on the date
of acquisition. A large portion of the contracts had a remaining
term of three years; accordingly, the amortization is
heavily weighted to those periods. During 2000, approximately
$2.8 million or 36% of the original balance was
amortized. Based on the current schedule, the Company
anticipates amortizing approximately 27% and 20% in
2001 and 2002, respectively. The remaining amortization
relates to the goodwill established in connection with the
acquisition of CHCS.
Operating expenses for the segment increased by $10.2
million. Approximately $8.1 million of the increase relates
to the acquisition of AIAG and CHCS. The remaining
increase relates to the costs associated with the increase
in business administered for the affiliated Insurance
Subsidiaries.
Years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
Administrative service revenue increased by $0.6 million, or
7%, in 1999 as compared to 1998. This increase relates to
affiliated revenues at WorldNet as a result of the increase in
premiums serviced by WorldNet on behalf of the affiliated
insurance subsidiaries. During 1999, WorldNet's business
was primarily the administration of certain blocks of business
on behalf of the affiliated insurance subsidiaries.
Operating expenses for the segment increased by $0.5 million
in 1999 as compared to 1998. The increase relates to
the costs associated with the increase in business administered
for the affiliated Insurance Subsidiaries.
