including an estimate for losses that had been incurred but not yet reported to the Company. The upper portion of the table shows the cumulative amounts paid as of successive years with respect to that reserve liability. The middle portion of the
table shows the re-estimated amount of the previously recorded reserves based on experience as of the end of each succeeding year, including cumulative payments made since the end of the respective year. The estimate changes as more information
becomes known about the frequency and severity of claims for individual years. The bottom line shows the redundancy (deficiency) that exists when the original reserve estimates are greater (less) than the re-estimated reserves at December 31, 2002.

1998 through 2002, the Company&#146;s previously estimated loss reserves produced a deficiency which was reflected in the following years incurred losses. The Company attributes a large portion of the deficiency to an increase in the ultimate
liability for bodily injury, physical damage and collision claims over what was originally estimated. The increases in these claims relate to increased severity over what was originally recorded and are the result of inflationary trends in health
care costs, auto parts and body shop labor costs. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"
COLOR="#000000">Throughout the 1990&#146;s average bodily injury costs decreased until 1998 when they began to rise. Since individual losses for this coverage tend to develop slower than for the collision or physical damage line, it is difficult for
the actuaries to identify such a change in trend until well after the year has closed. Furthermore, once the Company knows it is in an inflationary trend, it is difficult to determine the magnitude of the inflation due to the slower developing
nature of the bodily injury claims. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">During 2002, the
Company increased the bodily injury severity inflation rate that it recorded for the 2001 and 2002 accident years from approximately 4% to approximately 8% on its California automobile lines which contributed significantly to the Company&#146;s
total adverse development on 2001 and prior accident years. Management will continue to monitor inflation trends closely, but believes the 8% inflation rate recorded to be reasonable and its best estimate based on the information currently
available. Future information will become available which could change Management&#146;s assumptions. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

development primarily to the effect of Proposition 213, a California initiative passed in November 1996 that prevents uninsured motorists, drunk drivers and fleeing felons from collecting awards for &#147;pain and suffering&#148; (See
Regulations&#151;California Financial Responsibility Law). This law produced an overall reduction in bodily injury loss severity for calendar year 1997. In addition, a law, effective January 1, 1997 requiring proof of insurance before registration
of a motor vehicle resulted in a much smaller pool of uninsured motorists, thereby decreasing the frequency of uninsured motorists claims (See Regulations&#151;California Financial Responsibility Law). </FONT></P><P

on such reserves reflects the increases in the legal expenses of defending the Company&#146;s insureds arising from the Company&#146;s policy of aggressively defending, including litigating, exaggerated bodily injury claims arising from minimal

had placed undue pressures on claims representatives to settle legitimate disputes at unfairly high settlement amounts. After the reversal of <I>Royal Globe</I>, the Company believes that it has been able to achieve fairer settlements, because both
parties are in a more equal bargaining position. See Regulations&#151;Third Party &#147;Bad Faith&#148; Legislation. Third, during the years 1988 through 1990, the volume of business written in the Assigned Risk Program expanded substantially as
rates were suppressed at grossly inadequate levels. Following the California Insurance Commissioner&#146;s approval of an 85% temporary rate increase in September 1990, the volume of assigned risk business had declined by nearly 80%. Many of the
claims associated with the high volume of assigned risk business in the 1988-1990 period were later found to be fraudulent or grossly exaggerated and were settled in subsequent periods for substantially less than had been initially reserved.

underwriting experience of property and casualty insurance companies. Losses and loss adjustment expenses, on a statutory basis, are stated as a percentage of premiums earned because losses occur over the life of a policy. Underwriting expenses on a
statutory basis are stated as a percentage of premiums written rather than premiums earned because most underwriting expenses are incurred when policies are written and are not spread over the policy period. The statutory underwriting profit margin
is the extent to which the combined loss and underwriting expense ratios are less than 100%. The Company&#146;s loss ratio, expense ratio and combined ratio, and the private passenger automobile industry combined ratio, on a statutory basis, are
shown in the following table. The Company&#146;s ratios include lines of insurance other than private passenger automobile. Since these other lines represent only a small percentage of premiums written, the Company believes its ratios can be
compared to the industry ratios included in the table. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

risk-based capital formula for casualty insurance companies which established recommended minimum capital requirements for casualty companies. The formula was designed to capture the widely varying elements of risks undertaken by writers of
different lines of insurance having differing risk characteristics, as well as writers of similar lines where differences in risk may be related to corporate structure, investment policies, reinsurance arrangements and a number of other factors.
Based on the formula adopted by the NAIC, the Company has calculated the Risk-Based Capital Requirements of each of the Insurance Companies as of December 31, 2002. Each of the companies exceeded the highest level of minimum required capital.

Directors. The Company follows an investment policy which is regularly reviewed and revised. The Company&#146;s policy emphasizes investment grade, fixed income securities and maximization of after-tax yields and places certain restrictions to limit
portfolio concentrations and market exposure. The Company does not invest with a view to achieving realized gains. However, sales of securities are undertaken, with resulting gains or losses, in order to enhance after-tax yield and keep the
portfolio in line with current market conditions. Tax considerations are important in portfolio management, and have been made more so since 1986 when the alternative minimum tax (&#147;AMT&#148;) was imposed on casualty companies. Changes in loss
experience, growth rates and profitability produce significant changes in the Company&#146;s exposure to AMT liability, requiring appropriate shifts in the investment asset mix between taxable bonds, tax-exempt bonds and equities in order to
maximize after-tax yield. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The following table sets forth

continually evaluates the recoverability of its investment holdings. When a decline in value of fixed maturities or equity securities is considered other than temporary, the Company writes the security down to fair value by recognizing a loss in the
Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company recognized losses of $71.7&nbsp;million of investment write-downs considered to be other than temporarily impaired during 2002. Declines in value considered to be temporary, are charged as unrealized
losses to shareholders&#146; equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2002, the Company had a net unrealized gain on all investments of $64.8&nbsp;million before income taxes which is comprised of unrealized gains of $102.9
million offset by unrealized losses of $38.1 million. Of these unrealized losses, approximately $27 million relate to fixed maturities which are current on their debt servicing obligations. The remaining unrealized losses of approximately $11.1
million relate to equity securities for which approximately 64% of the unrealized losses represent securities with unrealized losses of less than 10% of their amortized costs. The Company has concluded that the gross unrealized losses of </FONT>

approximately 67% of the Company&#146;s total investment portfolio, at market values, and 88% of its total fixed maturity investments, at market values, were invested in medium to long term, investment grade tax-exempt revenue and municipal bonds.
Shorter duration sinking fund preferred stocks and collateralized mortgage obligations represented approximately 4% of the Company&#146;s total investment portfolio, at market values, and 5.2% of its total fixed maturity investments, at market
value, at December 31, 2002. The average Standard &amp; Poor&#146;s rating of the Company&#146;s bond holdings was AA at December 31, 2002. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

12.0 years at December 31, 2002 which reflects a heavier portfolio mix in medium to long term, investment grade tax-exempt revenue and municipal bonds. The call-adjusted average maturity of the overall bond portfolio was shorter, approximately 5.7
years, because holdings are heavily weighted with high coupon issues which are expected to be called prior to maturity. The modified duration of the overall bond portfolio reflecting anticipated early calls was 4.4 years at December 31, 2002 and
includes collateralized mortgage obligations with modified durations of approximately 1.1 years and short term cash investments that carry no duration. The modified duration on the bond portfolio excluding the collateralized mortgage obligations and
the short term cash investments was 5.2 years. Modified duration measures the length of time it takes, on average, to receive the present value of all the cash flows produced by a bond, including reinvestment of interest. Because it measures four
factors (maturity, coupon rate, yield and call terms) which determine sensitivity to changes in interest rates, modified duration is considered a much better indicator of price volatility than simple maturity alone. The longer the duration, the
greater the price volatility in relation to changes in interest rates. Holdings of lower than investment grade bonds constitute approximately 1.9% of total assets. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

capture more business. These industry wide rate reductions and increased severity trends on bodily injury, collision and physical damage coverages contributed to the deterioration of industry loss ratios in the years 1999 through 2002 (See Operating

California Proposition 103 has required that property and casualty insurance rates be approved by the Insurance Commissioner prior to their use, and that no rate be approved which is excessive, inadequate, unfairly discriminatory or otherwise in
violation of the provisions of the initiative. The proposition specified four statutory factors required to be applied in &#147;decreasing order of importance&#148; in determining rates for private passenger automobile insurance: (1) the
insured&#146;s driving safety record, (2) the number of miles the insured drives annually, (3) the number of years of driving experience of the insured and (4) whatever optional factors are determined by the Insurance Commissioner to have a
substantial relationship to risk of loss and adopted by regulation. The statute further provided that insurers are required to give at least a 20% discount to &#147;good drivers,&#148; as defined, from rates that would otherwise be charged to such
drivers and that no insurer may refuse to insure a &#147;good driver.&#148; </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

substantially higher than for suburban and rural areas. The Company&#146;s geographical rate differentials have been derived by actuarial analysis of the claims costs in a given area. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

to implement the Proposition 103 guidelines and replaced emergency regulations which had been in use since 1989. They required all automobile insurers in California to submit new rating plans complying with the regulations in early 1997. The Company
submitted its new proposed rating plan on March 11, 1997. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"

It also provides for substantial penalties for failure to supply proof of insurance if a driver is stopped for a traffic violation. Media attention to the new law resulted in a surge of new business applications during the first half of 1997. The
renewal experience of this new business has been similar to that of the Company&#146;s existing business. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

initiative provides that uninsured drivers who are injured in an automobile accident are able to recover only actual, out-of-pocket medical expenses and lost wages and are not entitled to receive awards for general damages, i.e., &#147;pain and
suffering.&#148; This restriction also applies to drunk drivers and fleeing felons. The law has helped in controlling loss costs. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

Insurance Act of 2002 (the &#147;Act&#148;), which established a temporary Federal program that provides for a system of shared public and private compensation for insured commercial property and casualty losses resulting from acts of terrorism, as
defined within the Act. The Terrorism Insurance Program (the &#147;Program&#148;) requires all commercial property and casualty insurers licensed in the United States to participate. The Program provides that in the event of a terrorist attack, as
defined, resulting in insurance industry losses exceeding $5 million, the U.S. government will provide funding to the insurance industry on an annual aggregate basis of 90% of covered losses up to $100 billion. Each insurance company is subject to a
deductible based upon a percentage of the previous year&#146;s direct earned premium; with the percentage increasing each year. The Program requires that insurers notify in-force commercial policyholders by February 24, 2003 that coverage for
terrorism acts is provided and the cost for this coverage. The Company is required to offer this coverage at each subsequent renewal even if the policyholder elected to exclude this coverage in the previous policy period. The Program became
effective upon enactment and runs through December 31, 2005. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"

Francisco), initially filed June 30,2000, the plaintiff is asserting unfair trade practices claim under Section 17200 of the California Business and Professions Code. Specifically, the case involves a dispute over the legality of broker fees
(generally less than $100 per policy) charged by independent brokers who sell the Company&#146;s products to consumers that purchase insurance policies written by the California Companies. The plaintiff asserts that the brokers who sell the
Company&#146;s products should not charge broker fees and that the Company benefits from these fees and should be liable for them. The plaintiff is seeking an elimination of the broker fees and restitution of previously paid broker fees. Following a
four-day trial, in December 2002, proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in favor of the plaintiff were issued stating that the Company&#146;s brokers are indistinguishable from agents and should not charge broker fees, and that the broker
fees are attributable to the Company, suggesting the Company could be held responsible for restitution. The Company filed objections to the proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law and requested a hearing. A hearing on the Company&#146;s

offering of its common stock in November 1985, the Company has paid regular quarterly dividends on its common stock. During 2002 and 2001, the Company paid dividends on its common stock of $1.20&nbsp;per share and $1.06 per share, respectively. On
January 31, 2003, the Board of Directors declared a $0.33&nbsp;quarterly dividend payable on March 27, 2003 to stockholders of record on March 17, 2003. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

adjusted for the two-for-one stock splits in September 1992 and September 1997. For financial statement purposes, the Company records dividends on the declaration date. The Company expects to continue the payment of quarterly dividends, however, the
continued payment and amount of cash dividends will depend upon, among other factors, the Company&#146;s operating results, overall financial condition, capital requirements and general business conditions. </FONT></P><P

dividends from its subsidiaries to pay dividends to its shareholders. These subsidiaries are subject to state laws that restrict their ability to distribute dividends. The state laws permit a casualty insurance company to pay dividends and advances
within any 12-month period, without any prior regulatory approval, in an amount up to the greater of 10% of statutory earned surplus at the preceding December 31, or statutory net income for the calendar year preceding the date the dividend is paid.
Under this test, the direct insurance subsidiaries of the Company are entitled to pay dividends to Mercury General during 2003 of up to approximately $98 million. (See Item 1. Business&#151;Regulation&#151;Holding Company Act, and Note 9 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). Mercury General is contesting a recent FTB ruling which disallows the dividend-received deductions from all insurance holding companies, regardless of domicile. The ultimate outcome of this matter could affect
future dividend policy (See Item 7. Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations&#151;Overview, and Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). </FONT></P><P

management and interest expenses. Upon completion of these audits, the FTB proposed assessments of approximately $7.6 million, plus interest, for tax years 1993 through 1996. The Company has formally appealed the proposed assessments and expects a
hearing before the California State Board of Equalization (&#147;SBE&#148;) will take place in March 2003. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

deduction for the dividends received from its wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries was held unconstitutional on the grounds that it discriminated against out-of-state insurance holding companies. Based on the court ruling, the FTB is taking the
position that the discriminatory sections of the statute are not severable and the entire statute is invalid. As a result, the FTB is disallowing dividend-received deductions for all insurance holding companies, regardless of domicile, for tax years
ending on or after December 1, 1997 (See Note 6 &#147;Income Taxes&#148; to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The Company has been assessed $17.3 million plus interest for the 1997 through 2000 tax years. The Company intends to protest the
proposed assessments. The FTB has recently begun an audit of the 2001 tax year. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

FTB&#146;s proposed assessment against the Company. In addition, without such legislation, years of future litigation may be required to determine the ultimate outcome. Consequently, the ultimate amount that the Company may be required to pay is
impossible to predict at the present time and the Company has not recorded a provision for additional state income tax liabilities related to this matter. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

No.&nbsp;60&#148;) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, &#147;Accounting for Contingencies&#148; (&#147;SFAS No. 5&#148;). Estimating loss reserves is a difficult process as there are many factors that can ultimately affect the
final settlement of a claim and, therefore, the reserve that is needed. Changes in the regulatory and legal environment, results of litigation, medical costs, the cost of repair materials and labor rates can all impact ultimate claim costs. In
addition, time can be a critical part of reserving determinations since the longer the span between the incidence of a loss and the payment or settlement of the claim, the more variable the ultimate settlement amount can be. Accordingly, short-tail
claims, such as property damage claims, tend to be more reasonably predictable than long-tail liability claims. Inflation is reflected in the reserving process through analysis of cost trends and reviews of historical reserving results. Management
believes that the liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses is adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred to date. Since the provisions are necessarily based upon estimates, the ultimate liability
may be more or less than such provision. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The Company
complies with the SFAS No. 60 definition of how insurance enterprises should recognize revenue on insurance policies written. The Company&#146;s insurance premiums are recognized as income ratably over the term of the policies. Unearned premiums are
carried as a liability on the balance sheet and are computed on a monthly pro-rata basis. The Company evaluates its unearned premiums periodically for premium deficiencies by comparing the sum of expected claim costs, unamortized acquisition costs
and maintenance costs to related unearned premiums. To the extent that any of the Company&#146;s lines of business become substantially unprofitable, then a premium deficiency reserve may be required. The Company does not expect this to occur on any

of the $1,551.6 million bond portfolio (at amortized cost) was AA, while the average effective maturity, giving effect to anticipated early call provisions, approximates 5.7 years. The modified duration of the bond portfolio at year-end was 4.4
years which includes collateralized mortgage obligations and short term cash investments. Modified duration measures the length of time it takes, on average, to receive the present value of all cash flows produced by a bond, including reinvestment
of interest income. Because it measures four factors (maturity, coupon rate, yield and call terms) which determine sensitivity to changes in interest rates, modified duration is considered a much better indicator of price volatility than simple
maturity alone. Municipal bond holdings are broadly diversified geographically and by obligor. Traditionally, it has been the Company&#146;s policy not to invest in high yield or &#147;junk&#148; bonds. At December 31, 2002, bond holdings rated
below investment grade totaled $50.1 million at market (cost $68.8 million), or less than 2% of total assets. An increase in the portfolio&#146;s average rating from A at December 31, 2001 to AA at December 31, 2002 reflects a larger percentage of
the portfolio invested in higher rated municipal bonds and collateralized mortgage obligations while divesting lower rated corporate bonds. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

fair value by recognizing a loss in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company recognized losses of $71.7&nbsp;million of investment write-downs considered to be other than temporarily impaired during 2002. Declines in value considered to be
temporary, are charged as unrealized losses, net of taxes to shareholders&#146; equity as accumulated other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2002, the Company had a net unrealized gain on all investments of $64.8&nbsp;million before income
taxes which is comprised of unrealized gains of $102.9 million offset by unrealized losses of $38.1 million. Of these unrealized losses, approximately $27 million relate to fixed maturities which are current on their debt servicing obligations. The
remaining unrealized losses of approximately $11.1&nbsp;million relate to equity securities for which approximately 64% of the unrealized losses represent securities with unrealized losses of less than 10% of their amortized costs. The Company has
concluded that the gross unrealized losses of $38.1&nbsp;million at December 31, 2002 were temporary in nature. However, facts and circumstances may change which could result in a decline in market value considered to be other than temporary.

with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and it applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or)
the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. Under SFAS No. 143, a company is required to 1) record an existing legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset as a liability
when incurred and the amount of the liability be initially measured at fair value, 2) recognize subsequent changes in the liability that result from (a) the passage of time and (b) revisions in either the timing or amount of estimated cash flows and
3) upon initially recognizing a liability for an asset retirement obligation, an entity shall capitalize the cost by recognizing an increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements

&#147;Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of&#148; (&#147;SFAS No. 121&#148;) and to develop a single accounting model based on the framework established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets

statements&#148; within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, our strategy for
growth, business development, regulatory approvals, market position, expenditures, financial results and reserves. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are subject to important factors and events that could cause our
actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from the historical information contained in this Form 10-K and from those that may be expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, among others: the competition currently existing in the California automobile insurance markets, our success in expanding our business in states outside of California, the impact of potential third party
&#147;bad-faith&#148; legislation, changes in laws or regulations, the outcome of tax position challenges by the California FTB, third party relations and approvals, and decisions of courts, regulators and governmental bodies, particularly in
California, our ability to obtain and the timing of the approval of the California Insurance Commissioner for premium rate changes for private passenger automobile policies issued in California and similar rate approvals in other states where we do
business, our success in integrating and profitably operating the businesses we have acquired, the level of investment yields we are able to obtain with our investments in comparison to recent yields and the market risk associated with out
investment portfolio, the cyclical and general competitive nature of the property and casualty insurance industry and general uncertainties regarding loss reserve or other estimates, the accuracy and adequacy of the Company&#146;s pricing
methodologies, uncertainties related to assumptions and projections generally, inflation and changes in economic conditions, changes in driving patterns and loss trends, acts of war and terrorist activities, court decisions and trends in litigation
and health care and auto repair costs, and other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. GAAP prescribes when a Company may reserve for particular risks including litigation exposures.
Accordingly, results for a given reporting period could be significantly affected if and when a reserve is established for a major contingency. Reported results may therefore appear to be volatile in certain periods. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date of this Form 10-K or, in the case of any document we incorporate by reference, the date of that document. Investors also should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all factors and should not consider the risks set forth
above to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. If the expectations or assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements prove inaccurate or if risks or uncertainties arise, actual results could differ materially from
those predicted in any forward-looking statements. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

carrying value of receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities is equivalent to the estimated fair value of those items. The notes payable are carried at their book value which is calculated as the principal less unamortized discount on the
senior debt and the discounted value of future payments on the Employers Reinsurance Corporation note in the MCM transaction. The terms of the notes are discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. </FONT></P><P

settlement of a claim and, therefore, the reserve that is needed. Changes in the regulatory and legal environment, results of litigation, medical costs, the cost of repair materials and labor rates can all impact ultimate claim costs. In addition,
time can be a critical part of reserving determinations since the longer the span between the incidence of a loss and the payment or settlement of the claim, the more variable the ultimate settlement amount can be. Accordingly, short-tail claims,
such as property damage claims, tend to be more reasonably predictable than long-tail liability claims. Management believes that the liability for losses and loss adjustment expenses is adequate to cover the ultimate net cost of losses and loss
adjustment expenses incurred to date. Since the provisions are necessarily based upon estimates, the ultimate liability may be more or less than such provisions. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs and it applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived
assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and (or) the normal operation of a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. Under SFAS No. 143, a company is required to 1) record an existing legal obligation
associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset as a liability when incurred and the amount of the liability be initially measured at fair value, 2) recognize subsequent changes in the liability that result from (a) the passage of time
and (b) revisions in either the timing or amount of estimated cash flows and 3) upon initially recognizing a liability for an asset retirement obligation, an entity shall capitalize the cost by recognizing an increase in the carrying amount of the
related long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143 will not have a material impact on the

implementation of SFAS Statement No. 121 &#147;Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of&#148; (&#147;SFAS No. 121&#148;) and to develop a single accounting model based on the framework
established in SFAS No. 121 for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale whether previously held and used or newly acquired. Even though SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, it retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (1) the
recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (2) the measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS&nbsp;No. 144 supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 30 &#147;Reporting the Results of Operations&#151;Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions&#148; (&#147;APB No. 30&#148;)
for segments of a business to be disposed of. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the requirement of APB No. 30 that entities report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting requirement to &#147;a component
of an entity&#148; that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as &#147;held for sale&#148;. SFAS No. 144 also amends the guidance of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51,
&#147;Consolidated Financial Statements&#148; to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a temporarily controlled subsidiary. The provisions of SFAS No. 144 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material effect on the Company&#146;s earnings or financial position. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

at fair value. SFAS No. 146 is effective for the Company for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial statements.

Combinations. SFAS No. 147 also provides guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of acquired long-term customer-relationship intangible assets, including those acquired in transactions between two or more mutual enterprises. SFAS No.
147 is effective for acquisitions for which the date of acquisition is on or after October 1, 2002. The provisions related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of acquired long-term customer-relationship intangible assets, including those
acquired in transactions between two or more mutual enterprises are effective on October 1, 2002. Management of the Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS No. 147 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial

unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries if the entities do not effectively disperse risks among parties involved. FIN No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January
31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a
variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. FIN No. 46 applies to public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual period. FIN No. 46 may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of
the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the first year restated. The implementation of FIN No. 46 is not expected

2001. The notes are unsecured, senior obligations of the Company with a 7.25% annual coupon payable on August 15 and February 15 each year. The notes mature on August 15, 2011. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.3 million,

notes for a floating rate of LIBOR plus 107 basis points. The swap agreement terminates on August&nbsp;15, 2011 and includes an early termination option exercisable by either party on the fifth anniversary or each subsequent anniversary by providing

statute that allowed Mercury General a tax deduction for the dividends received from its wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries was held unconstitutional on the grounds that it discriminated against out-of-state insurance holding companies. Based on
the court ruling, the FTB is taking the position that the discriminatory sections of the statute are not severable and the entire statute is invalid. As a result, the FTB is disallowing dividend-received deductions for all insurance holding
companies, regardless of domicile, for tax years ending on or after December 1, 1997. The Company has been assessed $17.3&nbsp;million plus interest for the 1997 through 2000 tax years. The Company intends to protest the proposed assessments. The
FTB has recently begun an audit of the 2001 tax year. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">This
